“Lest we forget, the Panthers were largely an NFL afterthought before Newton arrived: sure they qualified for the playoffs every 2-3 years, and they even made it to a Super Bowl. But their straight-out-of-the-90s teal-and-black color combination and the fact they played in a smaller city didn’t help their cause.”

This is probably the best article I’ve seen for articulating the disgust as a fan that I have on how Cam Newtons situation and past have been handled considering what he did for the Panthers.

I would absolutely agree with the writer who asks “What will Teddy Bridgewater be able to do for the Panthers in comparison to Cam Newton?”

Nothing. Teddy isn’t replacing cam. He’s a bridge until the future presents itself.

And Teddy will do better in Brady’s system.

Cam will never return to 2015 form.

I believe they handled the cam situation just fine. It’s a business and time to move on. There’s not market for him now.

The previous FO who ignored the oline and let Shula coach cam is where the blame lies. I feel they could have done a much better job helping cam reach his potential.

Part of that also lies on Cam. His terrible mechanics they tried to work on, but Cam never got much better at. 

Cam had his shortcomings but he also has natural gifts and talents. There is absolutely no excuse for a traditional coach to try and mesh with cam. No excuse for 7 second developing plays and no excuse for a shitty ass oline. No constantly asking him to get the tough yards and wear and tear. Some yes, because again that’s what makes him special. But be the leading rusher on the team? A bit much. Even with cams shortcomings his talents could have been utilized more effectively.

I think it’s hilarious we are giving up on cam cause of injuries only to pay an average qb with one knee 20 million a year. We did cam real dirty. He will have an amazing 2nd half to his career. If the panthers got this wrong then we officially become a joke franchise.

I've already stated how I felt about the whole f'd up way that Dave Tepper, depressed a healthy man's value in the market to then low ball him as damaged goods to say f' you I'm rolling with MORE of an injury concern at QB, in my opinion. He could have held his nose and let Cam walk off into whatever. Instead he leaked to the media while putting Rhule out front to basically sell disinformation because Cam IS HEALTHY. Health wasn't it folks it was a selfish endeavor. I wanna do it my way. His way may win. Seeing his style now having first been a fan, I don't think so. Too many mistakes and it looked like certain type huddlers game plan to treat a guy like sht on the way out. Tepper knew what he wanted to do, like he leaked to the media, why not do it months ago so Cam and his agent could find a landing spot for HEALTHY man. The whole strategy was obvious and also obviously bungled, on purpose. Can't trust him. He'll stab you in the back. JR has slapped faces, but I can't remember a straight up backstabbing like this. It wasn't cool. Smitty was worse but this was sht level also.

This :100_Emoji_42x42:. Well said. And the QB fit is among the main factors this split was inevitable.

      I can say that I have defended Canales because I get that they are doing all they can to keep from looking like idiots for drafting Bryce, from the trade up to signing $150m guards to drafting XL and Brooks etc---nothing seems to work.  And Hiring Canales was part of the Bryce Young rehab program, so so he can't really decide to "move on."  That has to come from Morgan and Tepper. Personally, I think Bryce is due for an injury.  He is small, he is not thick, and he has been a LOT more healthy than most any other QB has who has endured so much pressure.  The thing that bothers me is this---Bryce really does not go through his progressions quickly.  He locks on to his presnap read and stays locked onto him for too long--he seems to fail to anticipate the WR/TE's positioning on the play before the cut--for example, if the WR is running a dig and the CB has his back to the inside of the field, he should be open for a second or less just after the cut.  He seems to wait until the cut has been made before deciding, then checking down quickly while moving in the pocket. OL:  There seems to be a lack of communication--is that on Mays?  Watch this team presnap--they seem a bit confused at times.   I can almost predict the success rate of the play by watching the center and QB before the snap.

      Anyone else remember back in 2010 when Fox piloted having music under the in-game replays during one of Carolina's games? Not the commercial bumpers but the actual replay clips that the announcers would talk over. Pretty sure it was vs the 49ers. And it was terrible. Point being, Carolina continues being so bad that we get the networks trying things out during their games.

      Is it bad I found this video more hilarious than pathetic? I am still laughing at that one play where half the people on the field ran into each other and Bryce still couldn't see Chuba wide open... Also laughing at Cade blocking nobody and somehow losing his cleat Man this offense is a poo show
