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.

    • We've never seen them outside of the structure of two very well ran organizations I'll give you that. And yes they are long in the tooth. I do think they are more than capable of getting a franchise turned around in short term capacity though. They are by no means a long term solution.
    • You're not making a good-faith argument by blaming literally everything on the quarterback when the defense gave him a fat 38 seconds to overcome its ineptitude, but it seems you're dead-set on blaming him for any problem the team encounters. In this case, it's not warranted. Sometimes it is. But he had no time to throw (pressured on 46% of all dropbacks, an insane amount) and that's simply not all his fault -- particularly when they rush 4 or less and are in the backfield in 1.5s or less. Should we have gotten more than 0 yards? Sure! But he hit a WR in the hands on fourth down and it was dropped. Not his fault. He missed one throw on second down but I attribute first down to a bad play call and third down to poor pass protection. I would've called some quick slants, personally, but it really seems you're saying: - playcalling: Bryce's fault - poor pass protection: Bryce's fault - defensive choking away a lead: Bryce's fault, not the defense - Horn dropping a pass: Bryce's fault It's a great way to garner support on here, because when it comes to Bryce, logic takes such a backseat to context that it's not even in the same vehicle. Plenty of games can be attributed to him. Can't take anyone seriously who solely blames him for that one. 
    • I don't see how you can logically make that argument when the team beat two of the top teams in the entire league during the regular season.  Now imagine the additional games we would have won against absolute tip top competitors like SF and SEA had we had a professional QB.  You can throw any random stat at the problem you want, but the proof is in the pudding.  We all watched it live.  This roster would have produced 13 wins (wins against SF and SEA, two wins against NO, and would have swept the Bucs) and (almost certainly) a #1 seed with a remotely competent QB.  Those were not games where we needed an all star performance to win.  Those were games where a very, very modest stat line would have netted us an easy win. Nearly every measurable aspect of the team would have been significantly improved with a competent QB.
