Anyone seen any comments from Cam about Luke retiring?

[WarPanthers89]

It’s odd to see so many players put out statements about Luke from our own team, and around the league...yet nothing from Cam. What do you think is going on? (This is not a Cam bash thread btw I love Cam to death)

I do find that weird. Outside of him Cam was the biggest name on the Panthers team in the Riverboat Ers.

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

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

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.

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.

It’s  Cam...he will release a video message sometime today.

Exactly. Not everything has been be done for the public to see

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
