Tepper won't get rid of a Cam Newton that can be healthy again. 

Unfortunately, from what I understand they don't believe he can be healthy for any significant amount of time.

 

I'm not connected to anyone with the team, so strictly my personal opinion. But I also doubt Cam will ever be truly healthy again. It's a damn shame. I love Cam and would love for him to be right again.

Is there a risk involved?  Absolutely.

However, if Cam is wanting to be paid like a top tier QB he is likely going to have to demonstrate he still has the physical ability to play like one.

The best chance he has to do that is as the Panthers QB in 2020.

Otherwise his market value with other teams will be limited, since any team signing Cam will be doing so on faith.

What if there's someone out there who's willing to give you an extension without you "proving it"?

Or perhaps more to the point, what if you believe there is?

Cam Newton would be the absolute BEST QB the Bears have had EVER.

You guys really want to jump into THAT abyss?

Be the NFLs guests and do it willingly like dummies.

The Cam Newton of a few years ago would have been.

The Cam Newton of right now may or may not be.

And that's what people have to realize. Those are two different guys.

Someone else pointed out that some of the younger crowd might be dealing with seeing a hero in decline for the first time. Hence, they may be extremely resistant to it.

Oldsters who have been around for a while have seen this play out dozens of times. We know how the story ends.

Father Time is undefeated.

Ok boomer

Preaching to the choir here. People seem to think that thinking 2020 Cam isn’t the answer means we never liked Cam or we wouldn’t take 2015 Cam back in a heartbeat. Some of us just don’t think we’ll see 2015 or even 2018 Cam before Ds realized he couldn’t throw deep. 

Pretty much.

He couldn't throw deep because he injured his shoulder in a dirty hit.

Yeah, there may be a few teams that would meet that criteria, but the number of teams interested would likely increase dramatically if his health wasn't in doubt.

A solid performance by Cam in 2020 would likely increase the number and quality of contracts available for his signature.

If Tepper changes everybody and everything there is no guarantee that you'll get a better product, especially if he fully relies on analytics. Analytics can't make sense of nonsense.

Let me ask you this.  What have you seen from the Panthers over the past 2 years that makes you think that we aren't an average football team?

What has this team done over the past two seasons that make you think we will be an above average team moving forward?

His broken foot is the reason he isn't playing this year. 

The point was clear. Cam couldn't throw deep because he was playing with a shoulder injury that required surgery. 

 

Cam has a degenerative condition in his shoulder.

Will rest help it?  Maybe.

Will another surgery be in the future?  Maybe.

Can Cam last an entire season and offseason, plus at least 3 more?  Maybe.

 

Those "maybe's" are why we are having this discussion.  Before a team can hand him a deal, they will need to turn those maybe's into yes's.  Now again, if Cam wants to play out his contract and show the team and the rest of the NFL that he can get healthy, and STAY healthy, then by all means, trot him back out there.  If he's not willing to do that, then he will be gone from here.

      Another layer to that is Ive seen Seattle has been in the market for CB help this off-season.   Michael had a higher PFF grade than Horn who got 15 games this season. He wants to be here too, that's a huge bonus for any 5 win team that had awful pass rush.  The 7th rounder Michael Barrett didn't last long on Seattle, he was cut before the season I think and ended up on browns PS. He's already been on 5.......5 teams within one year.......

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      By Basbear · Posted

      You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.

      THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted.    Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
