BREAKING NEWS: David Tepper speaks on Cam Newton status with Panthers

[CMAC22]

Keep your eyes open and look at the evidence we have to this point and will come up! 1. Teppers comments from the day he fired rivera to now about this is a building process and it was not going to be an overnight fix and sustained sucess! 2. Matt rhule contract for 7 years! 3. All parties being not commital to cam when cam said he would be back in 2020!  I'm not advocating or encouraging this but this organization is making an organizational decision to tank in 2020!

I personally think it means hes back, and you cant blame him.  Hes owned the team for 2 years, and hes had a healthy qb for maybe 8 weeks.

For those who haven’t watched the video, need to go back and watch how coy he is and how tries to dodge the commitment to Cam.

When can you remember a team not committing publicly to there Quarterback? There’s nothing wrong with saying, we stand 100% behind Cam and can’t wait for him to get healthy again. Unless of course if you are planning on moving on from him.

The healthy part to me, seems to be that they can’t trade or attempt to trade him until he’s healthy. But this seems pretty clear they are prepared to move on from him.

He's staying and that's final

thanks

 

This quote is a bit weird, he doesnt say Panthers but "people".    "If Cam's healthy, he's an elite player. So we all hope Cam's healthy. And people will use an elite player because there just aren’t that many elite players in the league."

 

so even 3 months ago he wasnt committing to cam.  Interesting

Yeah, I think the writings on the wall.  Wouldn’t be shocked if Cam is a Charger next season.  I’d hate it, but won’t shock me.

If I had to put odds on my chances of still being a Panthers fan in 2-3 years, I can't say they'd be higher than 50/50.

It may take another Julius Peppers moment to get me back in the fold of things blow up like it looks as if they may.

Why? Did you stop being a fan in 2010 and then jump back on in 2011 after Cam started off well? Our team is pretty bad right now. Did you really enjoy the 1-15 we went in the second halves of the last two years so much that now you’re thinking about jumping back off until we draft a great player?

  When will people realize that sports and, given its history with bloated contracts for underperforming players, Panthers football has to be about what can you do for us in the future, as opposed to what have you done for us in the past. You cannot pay for, and pin hopes on, what has been done in the past. You have to pay for, and pin hopes on, what is expected to be contributed by the individual player in the future. 

Cam is a phenomenal QB ... when healthy. Other than loyalty, which has wrecked the Panthers during Hurney I, there is no reason to make a definitive statement on Cam at this point. If he’s healthy, of course, he’s your QB. If he’s not healthy after six-plus months and multiple injuries over the past few years, you really have to question whether it is worth keeping him. 

There’s nothing controversial here. There are simply agendas by both sides of this fan base trying to make a mountain out of a mole hill.
