I think this is a really fair and well thought out article. Scenario 1 is the hope.

Let us hope that Allen is the real deal and let us hope that Cam gets healthy and returns to his former glory. I never want to see #1 in anything but black and blue (the uniform, not bruises).

I’m thinking that if Cam gets back to 90-100% and even if the team does well with Allen that Ron starts Cam. The main reason being is they have to see what Cam can do at full strength, contract will be discussed next year and could get cut with only a 2mil loss.

And of course the fact that Ron owes his long tenure in Charlotte and two COTY awards to Cam.

One goes to Luke

Great article.

There are two scenarios I’ve been thinking about the past week that are the most interesting to me.

1. Kyle plays decently well, and Cam comes back and plays about the same as Kyle did. Who do they stick with next year? An aging guy who might be on the decline but has serious upside or a cheap young unproven guy who could get better but might ultimately just be a Jag.

2. Kyle plays well and Cam comes back and plays worse. The article mentioned this scenario, but I really think this is the nightmare scenario for this org. Ron does not want to bench Cam under those circumstances. It would immediately signal that cams time is done and would be a huge distraction. It’s also really bad for cam. I don’t see Cam sitting out the year to avoid this risk but it could happen.

I believe we've seen Cam Newton's last game as a Panther.  He won't play the rest of the season, and the team is not going to make an investment in him next year given his injury history.

I kind of feel this way as well. During Cam's first couple seasons, I had this vision of when Cam was 10 years older. Slow, broken, and generally uninterested in the game anymore. It happened a little sooner than I had predicted.

I think Newton plays a few more games this season at least.  But the 2015 version you will not see ever again.  Father time is undefeated.  I also do not think he will get another extension from the Panthers.

It's an interesting situation, certainly.

The question that seems to me to be most relevant is one that no one has the answer to:  Does Cam really *want* to play?  Not just, I like the money, so I want to play.  Does Cam have the absolutely burning desire to win a championship.  It's a question only Cam can answer, and even if asked, I'm not sure you could tell whether you got a real answer or not.  It's a really tricky, delicate question.

I think that there are so many factors swirling around right now, we won't know what the real answer is until after the season.

He played with a lis franc injury for two games behind shitty protection in pain and getting hit relentlessly.  NO ONE should be question his desire.  He could have just went on IR and cashed them checks all year.

Did you watch his last interview?  It's more than enough to make anyone question.

Yes I have watched it all.  Being annoyed, sad, tired, hurting AND he had lost 9 straight games will make people not sound enthusiastic.  You are entitled to read into that whatever you want, but I go by what I have seen him go through.  He wants to win and he keeps having setbacks, of course he is frustrated, but you make it seem like he doesnt care about football anymore.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
