you don't see how he won't be healthy.  i hope you understand that means absolutely zero.   it has no bearing on whether he will be healthy, and can stay that way.  most of us are concerned with his shoulder.   unfortunately like the coaching hire, we're all going to have to wait and see what the results are.   

Honestly I not that concerned about his shoulder the way he threw in the first two games this season. He didn't have a problem with zip he had a problem with his foot causingn accuracy issues

I have never seen anything from the organization in an official channel that indicates anything about wanting to be rid of Cam.  By the same token, I haven't seen the organization come out and say "If healthy, Cam is our QB in 2020."  If they have, that's great news, because Cam has definitely indicated he wants to and expects to be back here in 2020.

I have seen lots of people quoting "sources" or "insiders".

It was never a case of wanting to get rid of Newton. Nobody wanted that.

It was, and may still be, a case of Newton wanting a commitment (via extension) that the team isn't willing to give.

They'd be fine with him playing out the final year of his contract, but Newton (or more specifically his representation) might not be.

So either Newton has to agree to play out a year with no guarantees (risky for him) or the Panthers have to agree to some sort of extension with guarantees (risky for them).

Basically, relationship status equals "it's complicated".

Characterizing that as "wanting to move on from him" is dumb, but that's where some have gone with it.

a 3 year extension loaded with incentives isn't a bad deal for either side.

Depends on how you look at it.

It's asking an over 30 player with injury concerns to accept something that isn't guaranteed.

It might work as a compromise but it's hard to say.

Honestly in the end it's up to Cam and he himself has said I'm a panther they would have to boot me out, his reps aren't going to do anything cause he can fire them.

I just feel he wants to be here bad and 30 isnt that old and surgeries get better every year. His cleanup fixed the shoulder I think and have you seen dude lately, hes shredded dude works out Hard hes a huge guy with 1% body fat I swear he outdoes TO even when he was trying to come back.

I promise you, the very second there is something substantial to report, one of these reporters will do just that. So far, it’s mostly chatter. I’m sure it will all clear up over the next few weeks, or at least by early spring. I don’t have an official prediction to share on this. I have no idea what they’re going to do. I have an opinion on what they should do. But even that’s not without strong considerations. It really is an interesting time right now.

    • Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.
    • How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.
    • I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
