Because why wouldnt they be... former MVP. Only decline in skill we have that is 100% evident is injury. I dont like or care for a large contingent of our fanbase fells about Newton. If he was just done I dont think so many other franchises would value you him so high. Stay pat until your sure what you have or dont have. 

Not sure I have ever seen a franchise so ready to jettison the be quarterback they have had in franchise history. It is plausible that Jake gets more love and respect than Newton dispite their accomplishments.  I wonder why that is..

Like I said before, nothing less than 3 1st rounders.

Bears, Titans, and Bills I know for sure would go after Cam. All good teams with great defenses where their QB is holding them back. But it would take a king's ransom for me to trade Cam. But everybody has a price.

I'm not saying they do but a large portion of the fanbase wants to.. its evident. And with that it creates mass hysteria and that's why we were talking about this whole ordeal.

So the fans don't run thr franchise. I don't think the Panthers want to get rid of Newton. I think they have shown to be very patient with him in giving him all the time to recover. They will also give him a chance to keep his job. All this talk is just nonsense.

They don't, and neither does "a good portion of the fanbase".

Joe Person addressed the trade question in his latest Athletic article. He gives it even less chance of happening than Freeman does (i.e. zero)

The one caveat that Person did include is this:

I’m expecting to see Newton back on the field for the Panthers at some point in the coming weeks, though I think his long-term future in Carolina is still in doubt.

Jake gets more respect now because he isn't playing.  When he was the starter he got very little love from what I remember.  It comes with the territory of being the starting QB.  

To answer the point of the thread. I doubt they trade him this season, but to say it won't happen is naive. We as fans don't truly know how the coaches and front office feel about the situation.  I do think they will trade him in the off season and mostly due to contract.

I actually think if anything, he retires.

And no, I wouldn't blame him.

People wrongly ripped Andrew Luck for his decision, but realistically speaking, neither he nor Newton should be blamed for taking care of their bodies.

      2026 World Cup Thread

      By Joe Bear · Posted

      Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.

      Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.

      Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
