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

[LegioX]

If Cam is soooooo good according to some on this board, then why wasn’t he signed the second he became a free agent? Explain that one.

[Mol3m4n]

WHAT PART OF CAM HAS TO BE CLEARED BY INDIVIDUAL TEAM DOCTORS DO YOU ALL NOT GET.

The dude can't fly because of COVID-19 concerns.

We will regret letting him go with shitty teddy

Teddy had a freak injury several years ago and has done nothing but prove himself to be fine.

You can't use an old ACL tear as an excuse when Thomas Davis went though it 3 times and resurrected from the dead.

Davis was the first player to ever come back from 3 acl injuries to the same knee. If it wasn’t for Jerry Richardson TD’s NFL career would have been over. He has gone on record stating that multiple times. 
 

I hope Teddy stays healthy but there is a reason he hasn’t been signed by anyone to be their starter since returning to football.

You assume cam would have played under teddys contract.  $20mil isnt franchise money anymore and considering we can get out next year teddy is at worst a stopgap who has potential to shine with our backfield and wr speed.   I love Cam but he should have played under his $19 million this year to prove himself. Panthers didnt owe him a contract

I don’t need your “luck.” I have a successful business and luck has nothing to do with it. And I know all about hard decisions- one of my first employees was my own brother who I also had to fire. Love him to death but he didn’t bring value to my company. 

Luck isn't mine it's universal. Sorry for wishing you well despite your obvious shortsightedness.

Firing your brother has nothing to do with Tepper screwing the guy. Again, Tepper should have released Cam MONTHS AGO instead of after free agency started.

I didn't say we should hold on to Cam indefinitely. I said since the decision was made months ago and telegraphed by "sources" the same "sources" talking about Curtis Samuel, that they need be honest with himself and others, stop trying to fool people and look like a fool doing so. Nobody was fooled and the NFL didn't take the bait.

Bad business, and your brother was probably never your best employee, ever.

You are not getting the point...Cam would have work Right now if the rest of the league thought he could play...

The rest of the league would have had all the access to Cam they wanted if Tepper had released him MONTHS ago like he'd planned. It was stupid to talk about his health negatively BEFORE "trying" to seek a trade.

I catch your drift. You think cam should have been released months ago- but why? I admit I don’t have all the inner workings of the team, but to me it seems that there was uncertainty about whether cam would be sufficiently recovered to be a lock on returning this season. Or maybe they were holding out to to give him more time to recover to hopefully gain some trade value when months ago he was still early in the recovery process. In either case, it doesn’t appear to be a malicious move by the team to release cam now as opposed to months ago. The team has to exhaust all of it’s possible moves before making the very significant move to cut the QB1. In this case, ensuring the trade market wouldn’t send a late offer, having the back up plan in place (Bridgewater), and otherwise having no choice but to go ahead and release him. 
 

Cam will find a new team, I don’t believe he’s done in the NFL. He will just have to prove he’s healthy.

Yes, same reason Cam has not been signed as a starter. Teddy did his time, shined, and now he is a starter.

Cam may have to follow a similar path. Me thinks he'll wait to see what starting QB will get injured first and perhaps sign a one year to prove himself worthy of a long term contract.

[Green_Tea]

Was hoping he would be a Panther his entire career but I understand it’s a business. Pulling for him wherever he ends up. 

[RenoCarolina]

I really don't understand why the huddle and panther fans in general have to be split with this. 

Recognizing that health and circumstances dictated his tenure with the team, while also recognizing his legacy of fun and success and yes, shared failures with our Carolina Panthers....... isn't that what being a fan is about?

I wish him nothing but the best wherever and whatever he accomplishes in the future.  But I ain't rooting for any other team but the Panthers.
