Cam Newton's Legacy with the Panthers

Recommended Posts

How will you remember his time here?

For me no time soon will the Panthers see an individual talent like his at the QB position.  People forget how rare a truly elite QB can be, especially with his dual threat ability.  I honestly felt that he had the ability to become the LeBron James of the NFL.  His infectious attitude, marketability and great off the field personality is something that we have never had with the Panthers.  It was great to have a player featured in commercials, having shoe deals, and bringing overall notoriety to the franchise.  Add that in with his ridiculous skillset, we had a lot of potential for immense success.
I hate that injuries and a lack of offensive support ended up being his downfall over time.

I'm thankful to have witnessed his play firsthand, and look forward to seeing what he does next.  I'll still be a fan of his no question.

greatest QB we've ever had, maybe most iconic player, moreso than 89.

did more to grow this franchise than anyone in history.

rewrote the record books in a short decade.

criminally unappreciated by scads of people who literally would have chosen kyle allen over him because they prefer a losing lunchpaily white quarterback to a brash, unapologetic black man.

my favorite player in any sport across all time.

he made them so mad they were reduced to calling kyle allen “baby GOAT”

that was the absolute lowest point of sports fandom i have ever seen jfc

His legacy will be as a generational QB who had the misfortune to play for an inept coaching staff and organization.  Not surrounding him with the talent to succeed year after year and allowing him to get beat to a pulp behind constantly terrible Olines.

Fuggin shame.

Hold on gotta take a timeout the calls not coming in.

Was incredible you watch while he was in his prime here. I mean he basically wore a flakjacket under his jersey at one point. The past few years have been difficult. It really might be time for a change for him. But wish we had given him one more chance this season.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
