The Carolina Panthers already have an elite quarterback on their roster in Cam Newton. Let me rephrase that - they have an elite quarterback in a healthy Cam Newton. He was playing at a Pro Bowl level through the first eight games last year before injuring his shoulder. My ideal solution is for Cam to enter 2020 healthy, he returns to his “elite” status, and the Panthers then extend him through 2023 on a fair deal that acknowledges Cam’s greatness but also factors in his recent injuries and his age. I also think it’s time to move on from Ron Rivera and see how “healthy Cam” could be utilized over the next 3-4 years under a more modern and innovative coaching staff.

While there’s definitely risk in locking up Cam Newton through his age 34 season, the bigger risk would be trying to replace him. When Cam is at his best he is a devastating weapon who can go out and actually win games for his team. There are only a very, very small number of NFL quarterbacks with the franchise-altering upside of a healthy Cam Newton.

Giving Cam an extension and hoping he returns to his previous elite form is a risk, but trying to replace him via the draft or giving Kyle Allen another 30-40 starts to prove himself is even riskier. At some point in the near future Marty Hurney is going to need to make a monumental decision about the No. 1 quarterback position.

Cam was playing pretty well in 2018 but not at an all pro level. Stats can be misleading. He had a 103 passer rating against Pittsburgh last year. Anyone think he had a good game against Pittsburgh. Just looking at stats you might think so.

Speculation is speculation whether it's from Joe Person, Jourdan Rodrique or "Mick Smiley". Just because you agree with it, doesn't make it more accurate. Bottom line is, both sides present good cases but we won't know until February. So let's enjoy the 2nd half of football season. Because before we know it, we will be killing time using mock draft simulators instead of talking about actual football games.

I mean, he's not just suggesting having Newton play out next year. He wants the Panthers to extend him.

Extend a guy who, by the time next season rolls around won't have played for a good season and a half,  hasn't been healthy in probably a good two or three years and is coming off a couple of shoulder surgeries.

There are major questions as to whether Newton will be willing to play a "prove it" season, but at this point pretty much nobody takes the idea extending him seriously. That's just way too big a risk.

To be brutally honest, that's probably more wishful thinking than analysis.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By strato · Posted

      To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever…

      Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.

      The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
