Big Ben is out for the season and no one bats an eye. Andrew luck misses an entire season due to injury and no one question his starting position or job security. Cam newton goes on IR for the first time in his career and suddenly he needs to be traded.

What is wrong with you people? Cam has brought so many good memories to this franchise and one injury completely unrelated to his shoulder which is fully healed btw has everyone shipping him out of Carolina. Franchise quarterbacks don’t grow on trees. No one in this damn draft is a sure thing. When you have a guy that is a proven winner you keep him. This negativity towards Superman is sickening and needs to stop. When cam starts the 2020 season with his Walter Peyton man of the year patch ready to win comeback player of the year. I hope all the people that wanted him gone remember what he brings to this franchise. Here’s to hopefully future 2 time MVP cam. Keep pounding.

I’ve always held the belief we need to keep Cam. But loads of people including myself questioned Luck and probably most of us would be very hesitant of giving a big new deal to Big Ben.

I agree with this

When Luck was injured, Matt Hasselbeck actually came in and outperformed him (2015).  He won a few games, but no one was calling for him to replace Luck.   Was a much different story when Kyle Allen had his little hot streak (despite the revisionist history after he proved to be terrible).

A lot of Panthers fans were/are awfully ready to discard Newton, despite the fact he had a far superior career compared to Luck.  Colts fans were completely united in waiting as long as they needed for Luck to rehab.

I just want to be able to say that I posted in the thread with the longest title in internet forum history.

A healthy Cam would be hard to walk away from, especially if next season he plays lights out.

An unhealthy Cam isn't much use to any team.

[MafiaBills]

The irony is if Cam sat out after the Pittsburgh game (shoulder injury) it changes the narrative. 

Cam Newton is exactly why Luck retired. In his own words he said he cant play average and still be in the NFL. Cam playing through injuries/overall play dropping has dropped Cam's stock to people. 

Unless Rhule is a true HC savior for Cam...

People will think about the years wasted.

It looks like a nice calculated time to move on from him. 

Cam was a better pocket passer than Andrew Luck, despite common misconceptions

Andrew Luck had a 60.8% career completion percentage despite having far superior OLines and wide outs.

If Cam plays NFL football in 2020 he will do so for the Carolina Football Panthers. 

I get a good chuckle out of the "Walter Payton Award"....

....the guy was one helluva football player....

....and a complete degenerate off the field.

Luck had some of the worst OLines in NFL history. Why do you think he was injured all the time? 

cam, aside from 2015 (minus remmers) hasn't had the best either, but his injuries had more to do with him mowing down linebackers and dlinemen and the NFL allowing people to head hunt him without repercussions

Cam has been injured for multiple seasons now.  Whether or not he has been IR'd for a full season or not, he has had multiple surgeries and hasn't finished  season uninjured in a long time.

But when he's all good, Cam is incredible.  Most of us know that and want him here.  Hell, so does our owner.  But like our owner, we want to see Cam healthy.  And given Cam is entering the final year of the contract, it all comes down to what Cam will play for etc.

Only idiots would want a healthy Cam gone.

There will always be people in sports forums whose first reaction in discussions of players is always: how much can we get in a trade. The Huddle just seems to have some of the most vocal. Don't take it personally.
