Anyone seen any comments from Cam about Luke retiring?

Cam seems to have quite a bit on his mind these days. Probably blindsided by this with everything else that has been going on. But truthfully his silence makes me wonder if he already knows something we don't and he's just waiting for the other shoe to drop so to speak.

Seems like the inside the organization knew this was coming. Cam may have already reached out to Luke, privately.

Oh I’m sure this is the case, but he is the face of the team, and you think he would have put out a public statement about Luke and what he has meant to the team. He very well could do that this morning, but it makes me wonder why he hasn't already.

He probably called him/talked to him in person instead of looking for attention from the outside by posting on social media about it

i'm sorry but that doesn't sound like cam at all.

Cam haters of the world unite!

JFC I just found out about it this morning. Cam likely knew way before anyone else, and has probably already talked to Luke privately.

Despite what y'all may still think, and what you may want, Cam Newton doesn't owe your expectations a god damn thing.

FWIW Greg's announcement won't be too far behind.

Cam could retire too, and then all of you will get what you're asking for. At least a decade of mediocrity.

I don't pretend to know what either Cam or the team's plans for him might already have been, but here's how I'm viewing this from Cam's perspective:

I think it's possible Cam may have been hoping that if he got healthy a reload instead of a rebuild was possible. It might not have been super likely, but it's certainly not something that would have been completely out of the question.

Until yesterday.

I think Luke's retirement closes the door on the notion Cam could come back to Carolina next year and play as the QB of a team legitimately competing for the playoffs. He may already have been thinking in this direction or not, but I think he now has no choice but to think that if he wants to compete any time soon, he'll have to do it with another team.

I think Luke's retirement just caused any chance Cam is back with the team next year to drop through the floor. That chance may have already been small, I don't know. I just know that if I'm Cam, moving forward with the Panthers no longer clearly seems in the best interests of any career goals I might have.

Who cares? That is none of our business. Its honestly ridiculous for fans to expect that. Players don't have to share their feelings and emotions over social media just to satisfy fans. That takes away the sincerity for doing it. Cam loves his Luke Sky Walker and I know for a fact he has reached out to him in a personal private way. Deal with it

      "Floor, not Ceiling" - between the hashmarks

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t know about floor in a team defense sense but we needed more.  The floor that I am familiar with is our QBs floor and it is so low that every other part of the team needs to be beefed up.     We tried our best to improve these things and I think we did improve the defense and we at least kept the offense  from sinking from no LT.  And ostensibly helped the receivers too.   So we kept a window open that we at least have a chance to improve our record by a game of two.  Which would probably give us the division.

      Yeah. I am one of. those who think a JAG RB can eat with really good blocking. (Brooks is most important in my mind, in tbe passing game and that is what we’ll lose without him)  There are a lot of aspects to this. The big one that caused us to struggle is Young and his arm scared no one.  Best back, best blocking still cannot defeat a really good defense if they are not forced to respect the pass.  And teams did not.    But, a strong OL and running game Can get us over against weaker defenses.  And if Bryce still doesn’t scare anyone we can still win some games. Like last year  So it is really important to tend to that OL.   Get that straight and see if in his fourth year he can finally back defenses off. That is what if is all about this year to me, on the Bryce front.
