Key words phrases:

"healthy"

and "next season"

Ideally, he wants to see what Cam does next year---then decide on a contract moving forward.  However, if Cam is not progressing by certain dates of significance, he could go either way.  Something about this still does not pass the smell test.  Just seems weird.

I’ll said through this whole thing the smart play is keep him and see how he does next year if he’s shot we let him go, if he plays well you resign him. It’s not hard to figure out. Him not playing on a 1 year deal means nothing since him holding out only hurts his contract chances

Watching the reality of Kyle Allen down the stretch very well may change some minds within the Panthers' organization. When he looked promising early on, I think it's feasible that Tepper may have thought we may be better off moving on from Cam. But, I think it's becoming more and more clear that Allen is likely a backup NFL QB and honestly that's not a bad thing at all from a UDFA. A good backup QB is a damn fine UDFA find.

I doubt this decision is made until after the draft though. If the right guy is available either at our draft position or a draft position we're willing and able to trade up to, we still very well may decide to move on. But, if Cam is recovering on schedule and that draft opportunity doesn't pan out, I can't imagine us coming up with a better option. 

In the ideal situation, Cam would be willing to play out the final year of his contract. But, I understand it if he's not. IF we do ink him to an extension, I do think it has to be one that protects the Panthers from a crippling cap situation if the injury issues continue to linger. In that situation, hopefully both sides could agree to a contract that pays Cam like an elite QB if he bounces back but gives the Panthers an out if he doesn't.

Fingers crossed this all works out because I'm firmly in the bring Cam back camp but I also acknowledge the trickiness of this overall situation.

Folks are going to read into this what they want. 

If they've been throwing dirt on his grave they're going to preach "healthy" and "wants" and say this is a "coded message", when in reality - Cam Newton is your franchise quarterback and they do not grow on trees.

Tepper doesn't want to go back to 3 win seasons while we scramble around for a QB. They simply don't grow on trees. Cam Newton is our best bet at winning next season and beyond at this point...Tepper knows this. 

He ain't goin nowhere.

None of that is inconsistent with a belief Cam won't return from injury healthy.  But Tepper isn't stupid - he doesn't want to sour the relationship with Cam - or nuke his trade value - by broadcasting that publicly when he could return healthy still.

I do hope Cam is back, but Tepper has said this same thing before.

      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.
