I find it interesting that so many Cam backers want him to sit against San Fran and return vs Tennessee

I know not all of the Cam backers want this, so if you want him to start against San Francisco, congratulations...I'm not talking about you. But I've seen a lot of people that want Cam to get his job back that say they want him to sit one more game against San Francisco and come back against Tennessee.

If you want Cam back, you must want him back healthy. And, by all accounts so far, it looks like he'll be healthy enough to start against San Francisco if that's what Rivera decides. So what's the real reason some Cam backers don't want to see him against San Francisco? Could it be, and I'm just spitballing here, that you're afraid he's going to look terrible against San Francisco and want him to play the awful Titans as his first game back instead? Surely that's not it right? If Cam is healthy he's a top 5/MVP-caliber QB right? So why fear the 49ers? If Cam is as good as you say, shouldn't we blow the 49ers out if we add an MVP-caliber QB to a team with a defense as playing as well as it is?

i mean do i want cam to die first game back? no.

if kyle allen is playing as fine as everyone (and I) says, then he should be fine one more game against the 49ers. Cam Newton needs to be healthy for the playoffs, and one game against the NFC's best defense is okay to miss in favor of keeping him healthy down the road.

Freaking coward take. If Cam can play that means he's fully healthy and his health shouldn't be a concern. The offensive line has being playing well. You play your starters if healthy period. The only reason you wouldn't play Cam is if you're scared to death he's going to be exposed, look terrible yet again, we lose, and then you really WILL have a QB controversy.

You dont bench the hot hand but have Cam active

The first sign that the offense isnt moving the ball well, you ease him in.  

Not as much damage to Allen's confidence, who you want to keep around and may need again this season (if Cam gets hurt).  And may want to hold onto to be the franchise QB in a year or 2

He’ll be rusty. Not that you care with your obvious agenda to litter this forum with “I told you he’s done” posts. 

I love all the takes about how "rusty" Cam always is. It's Year 9 for him and he's going to be practicing all week. Why wasn't Kyle Allen "rusty" when he was thrown in against Arizona and easily won?

Best healthy player should start. 

If Cam is healthy, that is him. If you want to sit a healthy Cam Newton because he might get hurt, then go ahead and trade him. That is ridiculous. 

This is one of the rare times we agree. The people that want to baby Cam and only play him against teams that we're certain to win and let Kyle Allen take the hits against the rough defenses are telling on themselves. You're either all in with Cam or you're not.

Because he didn’t stop throwing for weeks rehabbing an injury. You really are a fuging idiot with an obvious agenda. This path is the best way for the PANTHERS to win in general.

Again, if he's going to start, he's going to have a full week of practice first. That should be all he needs. How many weeks should we give a guy to become "unrusty" when he's 9 years in?

Hey remember when OP said Cam would never lead the panthers to a 4th quarter comeback and then Cam proceeded to rifle off like 5 of them in one season. Good times. 
 

This fan base is pathetic

He normally does choke late though. For every game like he had against Philly last year, he has a Detroit and a Washington and Tampa Bay Game 2.

    • I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
