Carolina sticking with Cam

Because he's not under contract.

 

Seems like Cam is intent on staying with the Panthers instead of playing hardball looking for an extension. I realize he doesn't have a lot of leverage at the moment but it's still a big deal how intent he is on coming back to Carolina next year.

That said if he has a solid season next year, I imagine he would be willing to sign a team friendly extension if it meant giving the FO the tools necessary to build around him ultimately to win a SB.

Lmao Cam going to lie and say his shoulder is fugged up for the fun of it. Man there is a bunch of idiots on this forum. It has turned to complete trash in the last two years. 

Please provide me a source with this quote of Cam Newton saying his shoulder is "f*cked up".

Don't keep me waiting.

Cam's intent doesn't matter as much as David Tepper's intent. Tepper's commitment to Newton hasn't exactly been fervent. According to Rodrigue, Hurney and Rivera were actually willing to offer him an extension previously but Tepper nixed it.

Keeping him here in the last year of his deal is one thing. Getting an extension from an owner that's been lukewarm toward him is going to require not just playing a whole season without a hint of injury, but playing a damn good season as well. Maybe that happens, but if it doesn't I wouldn't lay very high odds on him sticking here.

As to Newton, I'm not all that convinced he signs a team friendly contract again, especially not given that this is probably the last contract he signs. That, to me, is wishful thinking.

You having conversations with people you view as idiots is pretty funny. I guess that makes you a idiot as well?

I am still not convinced that Cam will be on the team this season. Rhule never said he would be a starter. We all know that one thing can be said but can have a very different outcome with this team. I am in "wait and see" approach.

This!

It's still early in the process for making a decision on Cam. We will see what the market looks like after FA. Who's to say the Patriots don't come calling if they miss out on Brady?

A lot can still happen, teams don't get desperate until after they miss out on their QB's.

Probably because he didn't have his coach yet. Smartly he probably wanted the new coach to be involved with that decision.

Now hopefully Tepper will back off and let the football people worry about football things.

Tepper made his famously "non-committal" remarks just a couple of weeks ago.

I'm pretty sure Matt Rhule was already on the job by then.

    • NEVER FORGET!!!!   Canales was on no one's radar. Tepper couldn't get anyone to come here. He was all in on Ben Johnson. Nobody wants to work with Tepper, however Canales tenure may prove important for the next guy. This guy still has no idea what he's doing. 
    • The 4th down play was poor execution by Chuba. He didn't want to get physical like Rico and cut North South to lean on his blocks from Tremble and Ekwonu for half a yard. Also, the 3rd down play before that Bryce audibled out to a QB run and almost got the 1st down was on Chuba for not knowing the play call leading to poor execution. You can see Chuba's confusion when Bryce had to realign him. Then Chuba thought he was getting the handoff and was slow to develop his double team on the DE with Tremble. Then Chuba hesitated on pushing the block and just ran to the sideline making Bryce have to loop around him. This pulled the DE away from Tremble forcing Chuba to chip on the DE late and leaving the safety as a free defender. Chuba was suppose to double down on the DE to let Tremble peel off to the safety. This allows Bryce to set up his run to the inside or outside after the safety commits. You can also see Tremble walk over to talk to Chuba after the play and Chuba shrugs which tells me he didn't know what to do. The audible would have worked on 3rd and the dive would have worked on 4th. The plays were good calls and drawn up well. The question is why was Chuba unprepared for those plays in two critical back to back plays? I like Chuba as a 1st down RB and passing downs, but I have always seen him lacking the power and vision to be a short yardage power back. Chuba didn't come prepared for the Saints game or he was thrown into a position at the 3 spot that he was never prepared for.
    • Yeah man, that was a catch. I like to imagine the game isn’t rigged but it’s well known sports betting is ruining the sport. Unfortunately, most coaches plan for 3 phases of the game. But there is really 4, offense, defense, special teams, and special occasions. on special occasions the refs can influence the game, leaving you in positions your actively planning to stay out of and how you respond in those special occasions make or break the game. Other times it’s other reasons. But I like to hope that the right team, or right player can extend past those types of setbacks and still find a way. anywho, probably a pipe dream. But it’s how I see it.
