The local media should be ashamed of themselves

Charlotte Observer: Cam Newton and the Panthers’ inevitable breakup has never been more clear. The end.

Absolutely pathetic how the media in this town is openly fixated on the idea of the franchise’s greatest QB leaving and has been for the better part of a year now.

Fans who are also ready to move on from Cam will tell you they’re just being realists, but the fact is this camp has been going out of their way to push him out long before it was a thought on Teppers mind. It was “inevitable” that Cam would follow Luke into retirement. “Trading him makes the most sense” they said when he went on IR. The same local press tried to hand a complete JAG of a QB the keys to the city as soon as he brought just a slice of the success here that Cam did. Before Kyle it was Taylor, and Grier, etcetera ad nauseam. Now every week I have to read some local thinkpiece about how both parties should just split for their own good. Not a whole lot of suggestions he should stay. Just hammering home the idea that he’s already out the door.

The sad thing is at this point even if he gets healthy we’ve made it hard for him to want to stay. I only hope now that if he does and wants to stick around, he realizes that the media doesn’t represent the fans.

This will become reality if Cam does not perform well and is supposed to be 100% healthy will take a bad turn and he will be let go or traded. None of us want to see this happen until Cam takes the field to prove himself.

Hate to say it but the observer has largely always been this way with Newton over the years.

There was one year the Panthers and Cam were eliminated from the playoffs and an observer article almost seemed to be giddy over it the way they were talking down about Newton in particular.

You don't want there to be a certain element to it, but at times it's undeniable.

The day after the Super Bowl was harsh too. Observer has been trash for Panther news. Only shining light during the Cam era was Rodrigue.

As much as I've been swayed to really wanting to keep him I think they are likely correct in their prediction. Nothing in the article is worthy of shame. It's just an inconvenient truth that people don't want to deal with. It's in the best interest of both parties involved.

Everyone is saying this now.  Columnists, beat reporters,  former players/friends, nfl reporters etc.  There is too much smoke for this not to be true.  Cam has played his last down as a panther

Well of course except when she tried really hard to get famous by making Cam out to be Harvey Weinstein and her skeletons came out.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By WUnderhill · Posted

      Speaking of false premises, I literally said “his rookie year” in my posts and you are arguing over something said a week ago as if that is what I was referring to. I tried to stop talking to you since you admitted yourself it’s pointless, but you just can’t stop running your mouth and bullshitting for some reason. We get it, you think you’re smart. Let me know when you’ve searched all the threads from 2023. I really don’t care enough to do it, but if you want to call me obtuse and all this stupid poo then you should put your money where your mouth is and prove it instead of just running off at the mouth. I wasn’t in here making anything personal or specific to you or anybody else, the only name I mentioned was MRenshaw who is a clear and known troll, but you seem to have taken it personally, so maybe you’re part of the problem.

      He is the president of the Huddle TMac fan club so he is a bit oversensitized to something that isn't even remotely offensive in the slightest. I don't really like when people call me by my last name but in various work settings, it happens all the time. I don't get my panties in a bunch over it.

      This fanbase has called bryce every disrespectful name in the book let alone other people on the huddle. Who cares what you call him as long as it isn’t disrespectful. You act like he’s gonna log in to the huddle and get his feelings hurt.
