Cam Newton will be our starter next year. Here's what's going to happen...

After having played just 2 games in 21 months by the time the 2020 season starts, Cam will be rested and healthy. His whole body will have recovered to an extent it hasn't been in a LONG time because of all the hits he didn't absorb this year. He'll do his usual thing of playing poorly to start the season (especially since I can promise you he won't play next year's preseason) and will go on to have the best season he's had since 2015 by far.

Don't let the pessimists get you down today. This move is best for Cam and the future of the Carolina Panthers.

Anything's possible, but this is not a scenario I would bet money on.

Why? 

I truly don't get why people are jumping off cliffs today. His shoulder will be 100% next year. We have no indication that his foot won't be 100% either. So...what's the problem here? Cam will just be 31 next year, that's middle-age for quarterbacks. A healthy Cam Newton in 2020 will obviously be our best option at QB, much better than any QB we could have at the 16th pick or whatever.

Smarter to keep a recovered cam than let another team reap the benefits.
 

the benefits in keeping cam outweigh the Benefits in releasing or trading him. 
 

kyle Allen still has to ball out the remainder of this year, and have some playoff success for the scale to tip heavily in cam not being here next year.

There's money involved now.  Ignore the talk about the cap savings and think about the security aspect both the team and Cam will be looking for.

I sure hope so. But it's not like he was off vacationing in Hawaii for 21 months. He's been rehabbing injuries to his throwing shoulder (for the second time) and his foot. Cam is a mobile quarterback with messy throwing mechanics which puts a lot of strain on his shoulder. A full recovery doesn't seem likely tbh.

It sucks, but it's true.

His shoulder was supposed to be 100% this year.

Beyond that, of the people with access to the team, there's a lot more pessimism than optimism on that front.

If Cam is healthy next year, I expect he'll play fantastic. And that will lead to a gigantic payday, no?

IF we were looking at the #1 pick, I might understand this speculation. But we're 5-3 and won't sniff Tua, so I don't see any situation where we end up with a better QB in 2020 than Cam.

His shoulder is no longer the issue though right? It's his foot. Do we think that because Cam's last big injury took a lot longer to heal than they thought that this one will too?

    • 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.
