Team having hard time trading Cam, won't carry both QB's

Getting absolutely nothing out of Cam Newton pretty much shows the incompetentence of this organization. 

I call BS. Cam’s own team decided he wasn’t worth the risk to carry as a QB given his injury. How could they expect another team to trade the farm and carry the risk we aren’t willing to stomach? 
 

You can only be so vague in press releases, and vague the team was.

The Chargers have said that they are sticking with Tyrod Taylor. That could just be posturing, of course.

As a Virginia Tech fan, I root for Tyrod even though he’s not that good. He could easily lose his job to Cam, but I still think Cam ends up in NE and us Panthers fans die a slow death watching him prove he was ready to go.

If I'm being completely honest, right now I'd be hard pressed to say with any certainty that Newton can play a full season.

The Bears sure don't seem to think he can. They picked Nick Foles.

What a trash way to treat an all time great for our franchise. Tank his trade value, lie about the possibility of keeping him, now it’s at the point where even if teams were interested they’ve already committed in different directions. What a complete utter butchering of handling this. 

You would've thought a good angle would have been to hype the crap out of his recovery and how much he meant to the franchise but that we were going in a new direction with a new regime.  Issue a statement explaining how much they supported his passion in recovery and readiness to get back but are looking to part for the future.   But noooooo.

I've been asking myself whether repeating the phrase "if he's healthy" a million times might have raised some doubt in the minds of other teams.

I don't really know the answer to that, but it's a good question.

Reality, the Panthers likely will release quarterback Cam Newton soon because no team is going to trade for the 2015 NFL MVP without a personal workout and complete bill of health, and that can't be done. Plus, Carolina needs to clear Newton off the books as soon as new QB Teddy Bridgewater passes his physical and his deal becomes official. “In talk of value, there's nothing there,'' NFL Hall of Fame executive Bill Polian told ESPN.com about why Newton release seems inevitable.

I think that’s what pisses me off the most, you swindled cam and the fan base and for what gain or competitive advantage? The half assery on whether he was available and the statement that we’d consider it for a significant “haul” was beyond idiotic, all credibility lost

    • Here is what it said about him coming out of college: Overview A three-year starter with good feet and technique, Samac could be in consideration for a move-blocking rushing attack. He is strong at the point of attack but will have limitations against NFL power. He operates with good hand placement and nimble feet and is a demon once he’s on the move as a pulling center leading the way. He’s fluid and agile in the run game, but those traits fail to do as much for him in protection. Samac punches with inside hands but can struggle to widen his protection base in order to protect his edges. He has eventual starting talent as a run blocker but needs to add more mass and improve in pass protection to get there.
    • Through 2 games cltfc has 12 shot attempts. Opponents 23 shots on target. Attack sucks, Defense definitely sucks. Kahlina is the only reason they haven't given up 14 goals in two games. 
    • I met a few times--never liked him. I figured he might have had a bad day--but then realized that he must have a lot of bad days. Once he raised his voice at my son because my son did not understand a question when SS was signing his jersey.  I wanted the jersey to represent his encounter with a Panther great, not some small man with a bad attitude.  I told me son, "Forget it.  He was asking you what your name is (My son was about 7 and told me that he thought Smitty was going to write (my son's) name on the jersey.  He said "Dad, I thought he was supposed to write HIS name on the jersey, not mine."  I said, "He was personalizing it, writing it to you--like a birthday card."  He is now grown, and he has a steve smith Jersey that is framed and matted.  He keeps it is his closet.  I asked him, "Why not have that out on your wall?"  He said, "All I remember is an A-hole scribbled on my shirt.  I don't remember a legend or hero.  But he had a Jake Delhomme Jersey on his wall.  "Jake was great.  I will always remember that."  (Jake stayed and talked to us for about 5 minutes or more--GREAT guy.)
