What are your favorite Cam Newton moments/plays?

It's been the case for awhile now, but it is official that Cam Newton will almost certainly never suit up for the Carolina Panthers again.  

Without a doubt one of the greatest Carolina Panthers of all-time.  We aren't the biggest market in the NFL, but Newton (along with several other great players) helped catapult us into the spotlight.  Regardless of how you feel about his tenure, there is no denying that he put his body all on the line for us and there are hundreds of spectacular plays by him that will be remembered.

Probably my favorite is the 2 consecutive runs he had against the Cardinals in the NFC Championship game.  Cam Newton was an animal in 2015.  I don't think any one player can carry an entire football team like you see in basketball or other sports, but Newton was as close as you can get that year.  The stats don't do it justice and these runs show why:

Our power run game was based entirely around Cam Newton.  And something about these runs define Cam Newton to me.  There wasn't great blocking.  There wasn't anything unique about the play.  It was simply asking Cam Newton to do what he had done his entire career and that was bail the team out and make something out of nothing.  He didn't shy away from the hits.  He wasn't looking to slide.  He eluded defenders, stiff armed defenders, and jumped over defenders.  And did it in the biggest win of his career, in style.

Throwing the game winning TD pass to Olsen against the Seahawks. Diving into the end zone against the Cardinals in the NFC Championship. The scramble for a 1st down against the Patriots. Front flipping into the end zone against the Texans. That insane throw for a TD vs Atlanta.  His great game against the Saints in the playoffs when he was throwing to practice squad receivers. A lot to pick from.

  I'm going to miss Cam being a Panther.  Was hoping he would be the Panthers QB until he retired. Didn't want to see him play for another team. But I know it's a business and even the best players rarely only play for one team their entire career.  Hope he has an MVP year wherever he goes and I'll still pull for him unless he's playing the Panthers.

It was a toss up between this and the crazy scramble against the Patriots, but the sheer willpower on this play I will never forget. 

 

IMO no single play so thoroughly encapsulates what Cam Newton meant for our offense. As everything breaks down and falls apart around him, Cam Newton put our entire offense on his shoulders and dragged them across the line.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      I mean I just don't understand the argument. Baker and Sam both have been pro bowl QBs post their time here. And you just said yourself that is due to him having a damn good roster around him and they are well coached. You're even saying the bad baker is still there somewhere, but he is in a good organization with good roster and coaching that they are getting the best out of him. Why does Baker and Sam get all that benefit of the doubt but when it comes to Bryce it must be a BY9 problem, not an org or team problem?  Hell I got a guy below you arguing with me that Chark/Hurst/Mingo sucked because Bryce wouldn't throw them open. It's ridiculous how far the stretch goes.

      Correct.  It’s really hard to get open in the NFL when opposing defenses gameplan and cheat coverage/routes on all your players because they know your QB can’t make certain throws/plays.   magically no one that comes to Carolina can get open or make plays with the ball in their hands…..it’s like there is one singular common dominator to it all.  BY makes playing defense way too easy.   NFL players are too good to allow one side to cheat coverage and not respect all the potential threats of a route  so you can dial up a great play.  But if corners and safeties just cheat coverage and know X and Y happening on route/threats….getting open gets hard when they just play it one way.  Getting open has a lot to do with the different threats a WR can pose on a given play.

      Kinda depends how you look at it both were 3rd round draft pics.  Nico was nothing before stroud and tank came in with stroud.  If both were on the panthers would young have them doing well and starting or would their stats be low.  I really dont know the answer to that.  None of the panthers wrs have left and did well either but personally i feel neither of nico or tank would do much on the panthers.
