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.

    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight 
    • There's a reason Greg Maddux was never a flamethrower but still one of the most feared pitchers of all time, because accuracy beats velocity far more often then vice versa. Once you exceed a certain minimum capability, you can thrive with extreme traits elsewhere, its not strictly about power in any sport but powerlifting.
