Cam Newton's Legacy with the Panthers

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.

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.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
