Newton: "I'm unemployed"

I'm pretty much at the end of my rope with the white folks in our fanbase. Too many degenerates.

I said before Newton, like Delhomme have both had their critics, but Newton has been the most dissected ever for reasons that go beyond just the football field. His character, attire, everything about the man has been analyzed. Delhomme also was treated way better by the organization. He got his own press conference after being given a contract extension the year before after having half a dozen turnovers in a playoff game. I guess Cam just needs to be white with a southern accent in order to get his due respect. Hell even Kyle Allen has gotten more respect despite being a shitty QB. People here were ready to give him 20 mill.

Cam just needs to get his head right .  This is not a racist thing .  He has an agent that needs to help Cam . Getting two women pregnant and last year wearing a scarf over his head did not make him have a better image .  It turned many people off then getting hurt was the last thing he needed .  Maybe he is healthy and maybe he is not  .  He told Rivera he was ready to play when he was still hurt .  Nobody trust him right now and are willing to pay a high price for him .  He needs to take a pay cut and rebuild trust in him and prove that he can still play .  Time will tell if anyone will take a chance on him . Either  way he is set for life with the money he has made and that is more than most people can say .  I wish him well and was always a fan .   Time heals all wounds and in my mind he will always be a Carolina Panther .

@Real1zOnly and anyone else pooing me because i dared disrespect cam or whatever by not crying over some millionaire who is all of a sudden unemployed when there are now 3.3 million people who aren't anywhere close to being millionaires who have been barely making it from paycheck to paycheck as it is are all of a sudden finding themselves unemployed.

yeah...sorry (not really) but i'm not going to cry about any millionaire who is now going to have to slow their buying of watches or designer clothes a little tiny bit while the rest of us have to figure out how we're going to get fuging toilet paper and eggs.

he'll be fine. he's set for life and doesn't have to worry about anything except for a little hit to his pride. the rest of us in the real world are fighting for survival right now.

get your heads out of your asses and get some perspective that goes beyond some precious hero or team and defending their honor. right now there is no sports. no entertainment. nothing. none of it matters. what matters is all the people out there and probably in here who are struggling with real life.

seriously, fug you and your hero/team worship. there's more important things to be upset about.

You take sports to seriously my man and it's really sad you think like this.

You had a chance to not live paycheck to paycheck, don't blame us because you don't live comfortably. Speak for yourself, im not fighting for survival. I got food in my cabinets my freezer is full of meats. I have everything I need for the next 3 or 4 months to survive. Stop overreacting this is just a test to warn America and the rest of the world to get their poo together and stop living reckless everyday. And for some of the religious people like myself this is just the bible being fulfilled.

People are fan of players, it's just how sports work. Relax my guy.

Saying he is unemployed now, while a statement of fact, is a very poor choice of words given his financial stability and the current conditions many people face. 

The problem is we have a society that exaggerates everything.  Maybe it is because of the wealth of information and current events that pop up on the internet or social media, but everything people find uncomfortable or distasteful has to be labeled as “terrible,” “horrible,” “an outrage,” or something similar.  People are advertising for attention, it seems.

Maybe its my background (I was an air traffic controller for eight years and still work in the field), but I tell people that get carried away with the drama, horrible to me is two commercial aircraft full of people, on a collision course, and technical problems prevent me from communicating with either one of them. 

My employment and well being are not immediately affected by the current events, either.  We don't live paycheck to paycheck.  The fridge, freezer, and pantry are well stocked.  Still, I am not about to say or do anything that diminshes the predicament many find themselves in.  The world is a little bigger than just me.  I'd be even more vigilant about that if I was in the public spotlight.  It is a sense of responsibility and perspective.

People really need to get a perspective that extends more than three feet around themselves.

You read what he wrote about real world living and think he takes sports too seriously? Did you even understand what you just read?

And good grief, don't sit there talking about being religious and then cop an attitude like "well I'm okay so I'm not really worried about anybody else". That's the last kind of thing anyone who's truly religious should say.

Add in that you don't know jack about his life but you make some pretty nauseating assumptions.

I don't tend to get mad about message board stuff but man, you should really be ashamed of yourself for that post.

    • I'll say 6. I don't know that we learned a whole lot about this team during preseason that we didn't already know. We didn't play the starters enough to really get a feel for what to expect. We had one good drive against the Browns, one 3-and-out and two 3-and-outs against the Texans. That's an extremely small sample size across 3 games regardless of performance. My camp/preseason takeaways: Jalen Coker might be the best WR on this team and is certainly no worse than #2. Nic Scourton is going to be a good player for us. Possibly very good. Bobby Brown was our best free agent addition and will do more to help the defense than anyone. Jack Plummer isn't an NFL QB. Not even a practice squad guy. Having anyone other than Canales and Evero call plays was a really stupid and pointless idea. Our depth is largely non-existent, especially on defense. The three areas we actually DO have depth are on the OL, in the WR corp. and at RB. I can't fathom why Dan Morgan didn't do more to upgrade ILB during the offseason. We better hope Lathan Ransom steps up at FS because if he doesn't we have a massive hole there. For all the hype surrounding Sanders and Evans, Tommy Tremble is still the best TE on the roster. I'm only slightly less enthusiastic going into the regular season than I was a month ago. I think our starters on offense are solid and we should be pretty good there unless Bryce totally regresses. On defense, we're probably bottom 3rd in the league if 100% healthy and significantly worse than that if injuries become an issue. We badly need at least two of our rookies to become high-level players early (ideally one of the pass rushers + Ransom) and at least 2 of our free agent additions (ideally Moehrig + Bobby Brown) to be significant upgrades over last year. Call me pessimistically optimistic 😆
    • 2010 was worse. Not much worse but worse. 
    • Lol since 2017 the Panthers are 47-85,    Also since 2017 the Giants are 40-91-1   Lol
