It depends what portion of the fanbase you were to ask.  Western New York is a pretty conservative area, and most Bills fans have never watched Cam Newton play, so they view him as essentially a glorified Jameis Winston (or even Jamarcus Russell, depending on how culturally biased that fan is).  Most would not be open to it because they have fixed conception of 'scrambling quarterbacks'.

But among the analytical minded, we realize Cam Newton has been among the best five quarterbacks in the NFL when healthy.  And no one realizes this more than Brandon Beane himself, who was the biggest advocate within the Panthers war room encouraging Hurney to make the selection.  Sean Mcdermott was also reportedly close to Newton.

Josh Allen is not going to get it done, and it would be a shame to squander the elite defense we have.  Given the Buffalo Bills have not been competitive in decades, and the difficulty of finding a franchise quarterback, savvy Bill fans would be very open to rolling the dice on Newton's health to give us a true shot of winning our first Super Bowl in franchise history.

And there is thought within certain insiders that Brandon Beane will explore this.

 

aka if you say hes anything but the second coming of joe montana you are racist....

I’m indifferent.  If Kyle is methodically managing the game and we’re winning, I’d prefer to give Cam more time.  I really want him as healthy as he can possibly be before he steps back out there.  I want to see QB1 not what/who ever that was the 1st 2 weeks.  Gimme back my Cam!

Seeing that he cant stand on his foot for more than 3 hrs and the game is in 2 weeks. I say bring him back against Tennessee. Let him get a winnable game. Get his confidence and feel back. But only if his is cleared and 100% and runs drills without pain prior. 

If they start him at a home game, and he doesn't play lights out off the bat, he'll get booed back to the bench.

    • And once again I showed you it’s been pretty even. We spent 2nd and 3rd rounders this past draft on edge rushers. No one’s going to sit here and do the math on a draft value chart etc. the only reason I even entertained this was because you said we’ve spent nothing on defense when that simply isn’t true. It also didn’t help we traded our ONLY WR worth a damn to trade up for Bryce soo… And this is kind of the issue with the anti Bryce crowd. This crowd tends to blame him for the trade up. I was team Stroud. Had the panthers not taken Young the only other QB they were going to take was Richardson. So your issue should be with Tepper, Morgan, Fitterer not Bryce.  Bryce is who he is and it was pretty obvious who he was during the draft process. Bryce is slowly developing into that guy most thought he’d be. Give him a WR like Jamo and this offense as a whole would improve greatly.  Anyone thinking he was the next Pat Mahomes or Josh Allen is clearly slow. Bryce was always going to need pieces around him much like EVERY other QB Burrow has Chase and Higgins and they’ve done nothing. After losing in AFC Championship in 2022, Burrow is 17-15. QB’s need a team around them It’s why a Jalen Hurts led Eagles team dismantled a Pat Mahomes led KC team in the SB Imo the QB’s doing the most with the least up until this year have been Josh Allen and Lamar Jackson  This year it’s Drake Maye and Josh Allen  Outside of the 3-5 elite type QB’s I’m not really sure what people expect here. Is Bryce ever going to be in that elite category? Nope. Should we punt on Bryce and keep swinging? I don’t think so. Should we keep swinging while hanging onto Bryce? Yeah but I don’t know what that looks like This team as a whole isn’t very good. Offense and defense and that’s the simple truth  
    • I didn't move the goal posts. But anyone who follows football who wants to engage in a rational discussion can't argue that 10 7th round picks are equal to 10 1st rounders in value. The argument has always been we haven't spent as much on defense has we have on offense. Draft picks have value just like salary. We have not spent the same amount of draft pick salary cap on defense that we have on offense since drafting Bryce. It's not even close. Just the 2 1sts we used on Bryce, 2 overall 1sts have a value of 6000. That doesn’t even factor in DJ Moore or the 2 2nds. Bryce cost more than everything we've spent on defense in 6 damn years. 
    • We need to hope this scenario plays our next week he fails with pressure…what that means with Evero, is beyond me
