Rivera says they wouldn't want to bring Cam to DC because of Kyle Allen?

[electro's horse]

Damn Ron. Damn.

Redskins coach Ron Rivera said adding free agent QB Cam Newton "depends on circumstances."

Additionally, Rivera stated, "I think with Cam (Newton), and I have thought about it, I mean, it's something that's run through my mind, and it's about the situation and circumstances. I'm not sure I would do it. I'm not sure if I wouldn't do it." Previously the Redskins' new coach said that they passed on Tua Tagovailoa with the No. 2 overall pick because he saw enough from Haskins to give the second-year QB a shot to lead the offense in 2020. Rivera addressed this as well, noting, "You know, the thing about Cam really is the situation ... We're in a situation where we've got two really young quarterbacks, one that's been with us, been in the system, understands how we want things done and the other one is a guy who was taken last year in the first round and shows some promise." Ultimately, it's going to be hard for Cam to find a team until they're able to conduct a physical.

Cam is toast and Rivera knows it, and he knows he's the one that did it.

It's very possible. Possibly the saddest thing about Cam being beaten to hell from carrying the Panthers' offense for years is the fact that a lot of "Panthers fans" are gloating and reveling in it. Fuging disgusting.

just look at the difference between how Cam and Lamar Jackson have been treated by their teams

You have a freak athlete, once in a generation type talent at the QB position. What do you do?

Baltimore: Let's devise a new offense that maximizes his strengths against defense's weakness and minimizes the contact he takes

Carolina: QB POWER BABY RIGHT INTO THE LINE

He traded for Allen and now has to justify it is the most likely true answer.

GM Ron still throwing players under the bus like coach Ron, nothing new. 

Edit: Thanks for the capital to move up for the safety he would hate.

I’m not saying it’s right, but it does make sense if you have a defensive minded coach, which we had. A defensive minded coach is gonna say “hey, we have a dangerous duel threat QB with a rocket arm? Perfect. That will allow me to build a dominate defense and ensure I can put enough points on the board to win games with limited assets on offense”

Again, I’m not defending it, but it really isn’t surprising.

They're too afraid to bring in any real competition for Haskins. Kyle Allen's just a dude on the bench.

You are definitely right and that should be common sense so there's no argument there but...

One thing that sucks is Cam is sort of a level of talent that the NFL hadn't exactly seen before (in my opinion).  So I think he was one of the guinea pigs that had to go through injury for the rest of the league to take note and say...."maybe we shouldn't exactly use our QB as a primary running option."

if Ron had Patrick Mahomes he would have been running the option with him

I can’t justify really and wrong doings by the Panthers and Cam. Power running Cam was what made his special and the Panthers used it. But they abused it as well. 

The biggest thing to fault the Panthers the last decade was the oline. I mean they really just absolutely made awful decisions there. The first half of Cams career they didn’t even try. The second half they were inept at fixing it and that’s being nice.

And it appears they’re still struggling with it. I can’t understand it. I hope to god that’s their #1 priority with the new franchise QB.

Rivera and Shula are not the coaches for a player like Cam but they lined up exactly to the type of coaches JR goes for. Sad.

Rivera followed Buddy Ryan's example with Randall Cunningham.

Ryan believed all he needed was for Cunningham to make two or three big plays a game and his defense would take care of the rest. Rivera did exactly the same thing with Newton.

Exactly. Get him Tedd Ginn and the offense is set. To be fair, it almost even worked one season somehow.

haskins is snyder's guy.   ron took a job where the owner has the biggest say in who plays qb.  immediate built in excuse for his performance as a coach.   its his dream job.   not surprised at all

[Baskinridge]

Of course Rivera doesn't want to bring him in. He either knows he completely wrecked him beyond repair, or wants to try and show the world that he's actually a coach who didn't get carried to 2 Coach of the Year awards.

 I still can't believe the "best" this franchise could do for Cam Newton through most of his career was freaking Ron Rivera and Mike Shula. One guy who literally ate his own azz crack butter as a player and a crayon sniffing moron who only got a job in the nfl through nepotism.

Cam deserved so much better from this franchise and still got the shaft in how he was released.
