Lebron as a basketball player has just as much wear and tear on his body as a qb.

simple as that 

No, he doesn't.  Simple as that.

Are you aware that every single human being is different?  Why are we comparing two completely different people, playing two different sports to each other?

I need more than a no he doesn’t as an explanation. 
 

I’m debunking the narrative that cam’s body is “breaking” down.

you have a 34 year old 6’8 250lbs guy who’s logged the most mins in nba playoff history, has been to 8 straight finals, and is in his 17th year.

Lebron has had a groin injury 

Cam had had a shoulder and Lisfranc injury

that does not equate to his body is breaking down, it’s the same narrative the media put on lebron last year, so it is absolutely comparable

Before this segued to Sam Mills and LeBron James, we were talking about Cam Newton, weren"t we?

Well, since probably 2/3 of that speculation (of Cam's leaving the Panthers) was based on the direct or indirect opinions of journalists...how 'bout considering an alternate take, by another journalist?

I think we should extend Cam. Not to some crazy max contract, but at least something reasonable in the same ball park as now.

1) We have no better options, via draft or free agency (unless you want andy dalton)

2) His foot will heal before the 2020 season. It's not like he tore his Achilles or something. He will be okay. Plus a year with out any shoulder hits and a mental break from the game.

3) We owe it to Cam. Every thing he has done for this city, for our team, for our attendance numbers. We literally don't have a better option. This kyle allen mediocre-magic will run out soon. 5-1 is cool, but don't forget who took us 15-1.

In the NFL you DO NOT pay for services rendered.

That is what Marty Hurney was notorious for during his first reign, that cannot happen again.

Not reading this entire thread to see if this has been said.

The NFL is a business, and as @Rags said on page 1, this is a "what have you done for me lately league.  Here is what we know:

Lately, Cam is 1-7, Allen is 7-1. Being injured is not an excuse in the NFL--is is a confession.

  • Trading or cutting Cam frees up $19 m in cap room next year.
  • Cam's health is uncertain, and next year is his final contract year.  Cam may have something left, but Tepper (hedge fund manager) will not risk $20m next season on a question mark--that would mean our investment in Cam has cost us (possibly) 3 seasons and cost us $65m over the final three years.
  • If Cam comes back next year, he is still a 31 year old running QB with a shoulder history (they can recur).   He will not be able to run as well and his deep ball is still in question.  To keep him, we may have to let Bradberry and Thompson walk. 

Jeremy is right this time--not simply casting click bait into Lake Gullible. :eyeroll:

Tepper will not let emotional Hurney get stupid as he did before (Giving Jake a big contract after Tommy John surgery, etc.)  

Cam's absence on the sideline and his lack of chatter is noticeable.  I think he knows.  I think we are going to shop him in the offseason.  Depending on Allen's play over the next 8 games, we could be drafting a QB.

Well, I’m for tanking next season and then getting Justin Fields or even someone like Jaime Newman from Wake.

This year's draft has a fair number of good quarterbacks if you wanna go that route.

Add in that you don't know where we'll finish. We could end up in a pretty good position.

I might be a bit bias on this but as a Georgia fan, I would to Jake Fromm lead Carolina. My concerns I see is I don't feel like he would make more of an impact than Kyle Allen has. Fromm is a game manager that has been surrounded by a great run game (does that sound familiar?) I do see Fromm being a bit more polished and a little bit more accurate though.

Not one person in Marty's first reign can equate or even come close to Cam's impact on this football team. This team was finally built for him to succeed. It is not fair to any party involved to give up on a GENERATIONAL talent after one year of a mismanaged injury. Allen is benefiting from the (finally) stategic build of a team that was intended for Cam. This will be the dumbest thing the franchise has ever done if we cut Cam Newton, but I can't say it wouldn't be the hallmark of a franchise that consistently does these kind of dumb things.

What is Cam's motivation for doing that? He could get more on the open market.

      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.
