Newton on IG Live w/ Chris Paul "I've never known anything other than the Panthers"

I did debate posting this; the fact is Newton isn't a Panthers and that's that.
Felt like some (including myself) would be interested however.

Newton touches on COVID-19 impacting his status, and etc. Nothing groundbreaking.

"I think that's more important than anything, man. I've gained this interest [in] meditating every morning, man, and it's time for me," Newton told Paul, via ESPN. "I'm a fish out of water. I've never ... known anything other than the Carolina Panthers, and now it's like I want God to direct my path and put me in a position where I can thrive and be myself. But on top of that, it's still [about] becoming better

Pretty surprised someone hasn’t added him.  Its tough timing for him for sure.  

I'm sure PLENTY of teams would love to add him at a decent price to have a QB competition to start camp.  However, it makes it nearly impossible to invest your money in Cam until you can test him out yourself.

The red Sox had the curse of the bambino. The panthers will have the curse of QB1. A horrible decision from management. 

I love cam as much as anyone else. 
 

but was the team’s management supposed to do? He hasn’t gotten better yet and have given him plenty of time to heal. There was simply no interest in him from anyone given the fact he’s been sitting on the sidelines for the better part of 2 seasons.

    • I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
