There are only 2 scenarios for Cam in 2020:

I don’t really care what happens to Cam in 2020 so much as the Panthers finding the recipe to win next season no matter what or who it is. This mediocrity is getting old.

Partially agree.

The most important thing is the Panthers winning. Anything else is an extremely distant second.

That said, I tend to wish former players well with their new teams...except when they're playing us, of course.

Not going to wish him so well as winning a Super Bowl, mind you. That particular wish is reserved for the Panthers alone.

You don't think that getting to where he is now hasn't already involved some "sh-tty management"?

(like say, playing him when it was pretty clear he was hurt, for example)

Would you not agree most NFL players play through injury on a weekly basis? Maybe you could say he should have been benched after week one.... or maybe one could say we were trying to keep him in the pocket and protect him from injury and he was rusty and without running isn’t the same guy?

I'm not talking about this season so much.

Last year, Newton really should have been shut down way earlier than he was, though the argument there would be that we were still in contention. There were previous seasons also when he continued to play even after we were eliminated, but probably shouldn't have.

Yes, players always want to play, but sometimes coaches have to shut them down for their own good.

That's not how the NFL works.

Mark my words I’m going to quote this when it happens for a victory lap, if cam newton is traded to the bears he will have a stellar season and lead them to the nfc championship game at least but more likely to the super bowl

Lol...the only way Cam goes to another team is if he can't get healthy and we cut him...or a team way over trades for him...

I mean why would you even put a QB out there that's struggles to throw the ball 40 yards? He wouldn't even be effective in an adult flag football league let alone the NFL - with very large and athletic men trying to cause great harm to his body and head. This team could have won at least 3 or 4 more games last season with a healthy QB back there - any healthy QB. That's one of the reasons I feel so bad for Cam. They finally get him legitimate NFL weapons, and at least make a real effort to improve the offensive line - and wham now he's injured. Damn!

Yes it is. The Chiefs wouldn't dare put Mahomes back out there until he's fully recovered from his ankle injury. To have Cam out there struggling to throw the ball 30 yards was a sh1tsh0w. Any D1 college program wouldn't have allowed that crap to happen.

Mahomes is out because of a dislocated knee cap.

As for his ankle, for your information he first injured it in week-1 against JAX and continued to play every week, at less than 100%. 

Just as it was approaching 100% he re-injured it in week-5....and kept right on playing.  You can read about it here:

"By ProFootballDoc, Oct. 7, 2019, 4:28 PM

Chiefs quarterback Patrick Mahomes has aggravated his high ankle sprain, just as it was ready to heal fully.

The first time he injured his left ankle, in Week 1, he continued to play. Sunday against the Colts, the ankle was stepped on, as the Chiefs’ backup left tackle was pushed back into Mahomes."

    • Yep. It was an obvious red flag that a lot of people ignored. The results/scores in preseason don’t matter, but individual performance very much does and individually, we looked like the least talented team in the league and it carried over.
    • Sorry, but in 2015, we didn’t look like poo to the extent of 2023. People who said it’s just preseason were completely wrong. Simple as that. 2015 was a veteran lead team. It was Cam’s 5th year and Luke’s 4th. Even our OL was 80% the same (added Oher) as the great run to finish 2014 with a playoff win. That year can be labeled as preseason doesn’t matter because I’m sure we rested vets and well, Ron/Mike weren’t putting in special plays, etc. I absolutely don’t recall a bunch of us saying that Turner was getting killed on one on ones or that Luke was completely out of position or that Norman was hurt again but probably fine. The only thing that was right about the 2023 preseason is that the minority of us who saw it, were correct that we A) should have been making Young and others play 100% of the reps as there was nothing to hide and B) the preseason means nothing was a bunch of BS trying to stay optimistic when it was obvious that we had way less good talent than the rest of the NFL.
    • You are telling me Paul Maurice is a better coach than Rod??? Yes!!!  It’s because he plays a better system and has a better goalie.   Our system sucks in playoffs and he refuses to roll with Koochie. Dallas cowboys level poo
