Cam Newton - The Franchise (OPP)

Thank you for sharing.

It’s definitely not a slam dunk that he’s back. There are legitimate concerns, and it’s important to account for those.

Hopefully, he can make his way back into the starting lineup for Carolina with a clean bill of health. I think most folks would like to see that.

This is the guy I want back. 

Do you think we can get that guy back? The guy in most (or all) of those highlights was a bigger Cam than the guy who barely looked bigger than that teenager in the thread from earlier today. It's his choice, but I don't know if we'll ever see that Cam again.

I saw that picture earlier, and he did look a little bit trimmer. Not sure if that’s just an illusion, or what. He’ll have to modify his game, for sure. That said: a good bit of those plays in the highlight reel were from 2018. You can still use him creatively, IMO.

The shoulder is likely a long-term concern, if I had to take a guess. Short term, I think he’s got some years left. Wear and tear? Thing is, most of his damage came from within the pocket or chasing down an interception. Unless guys go head hunting, which is not unprecedented, Cam is usually pretty safe in the open field.

It’s going to be fascinating couple of months.

    • I really appreciate Bill explaining his methodology here because that gives interested parties a chance to try and recreate the results themselves. I believe that it's safe to assume that despite emphasis being placed on WRs that Chuba Hubbard is one of the Panthers' top-5 weapons. Considering targets, yardage, receptions, etc... Adam Thielen and Xavier Legette are also on the list. Jalen Coker's success might have snuck him in there as well. I can't draw a conclusion on who #5 is though. I've narrowed it down to Diontae Johnson, David Moore, Ja'Tavion Sanders, and possibly Rico Dowdle if they're taking into account his production for the Cowboys in 2024.
    • Unfortunately business is business especially when there are large sums of money on the table. Goes the same for player and ownership. Does not make it right either way.  Why would he not want to play for the niners? Closer to home with a team that has a chance of delivering a SB trophy. 
    • I don’t know if it’s him bad mouthing his former situation in public or my pettiness but either way I’m not a fan. Dude was on playoff teams getting paid millions to entertain. I’m not better that because and I am better than that. You don’t bad mouth your former employer in public. Esp after getting over paid and two, poor little Russian baby didn’t get the playing spot he wanted. Rod had him exactly where is was supposed to be.  He had a mean lip check and did defend our players. Specifically the devils game around Christmas where is our Haula on his ass. Cool. Thank you. But don’t talk poo about us. Because it make you look like Haula.    “need to get as far away as possible”. fug off. Didn’t see Burnsy bad mouthing and his play dropped off too.    sorry, but Orlov doesn’t get a pass from me. See you twice a year…
