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.

    • yeah, Panther PR has done the Tepper is taking a backseat PR tour before.   It wasn't true at all the first time we saw them attempt that.   All the stuff you are referencing is stuff produced and put out by the Panthers.  I'm not acting like owners aren't in the war room.   I'm just saying Tepper is a proven commodity.  He is what he is.  And his tenure with BOTH his professional sports teams tell the exact same story about him.   He is not patient.  He didn't show patience last year.  He moved on from an absurd investment 2 games into the season.....and a frankly unimaginable turnaround by Bryce that was only allowed by injury reset some things.  I'm sure a billion times Raiders or Dallas or whatever fans convinced themselves their owners turned a new leaf too.  I'm not buying that.  There just isn't anything supporting Tepper isn't Tepper IMO. 
    • Well last year the first team offense struggled against the Bills 3rd string defense. First string offense needed to convert a 4th down to score a TD.  If the starters play against backups and do what they are supposed to do, score easily, I’d say the reps are worth it. Would make me feel better. Unlike last preseason. 
    • This right here. You also don’t want your 2 nd string oline going against their starting Dline and risk injury to whoever is taking snaps
