He literally just said hey I don’t want to comment on QB speculation. That’s not my job and I’m trying to be the best RB that I can be. He said nothing negative, and didn’t want to play into the QB speculation convo that they were trying to stir up. Typical professional Football player answer

Exactly. What did Newton expect him to say?

Screw the coaches, Teddy is my guy.

I was looking for the clip, and couldn't find it.  Not surprised...  If CMC is currently viewed as the face of the franchise, I'm pretty sure he is in the know of what's going on and what we plan on doing.  He's just disassociating himself from Teddy in advance.

If you didn't see it, and have no idea what to make of it...why did you feel a need to make a thread about it? Like wtf?

Cause someone else might have seen it or posted a clip (which they did)

Plus it being our star player talking about our quarterback situation, it's kinda relevant to us.

But hey, I can start thread number 206 about trading for Deshaun Watson if you prefer.

Newton having a job is the same as Mick Mixon having a lead role. It cannot be explained with reason.

The Panthers have been a "Good Ol' Boys Club" since their inception.  I think Tepper is trying to change that culture, but some of the last vestiges still remain.

Just watched it and he literally said nothing about Teddy. Click bait Newton at it again 

Yeah, that was a nothing burger. CMC just completely side stepped the question telling the truth - he's a player and those decisions aren't up to him so why bother to pay attention to the speculation? I mean, he could've thrown some support Teddy's way with some kind words, but he didn't. It's a reach to read a lot into that though. I mean, he only played a handful of games with the guy. It's not like he's ducking on supporting a guy he's played his entire career with.

By saying he didn’t want to comment, he commented. He fell victim to one of the classic blunders, the most famous of which is never get involved in a land war in Asia. But only slightly less well-known is never comment on your QB when the front office has decided to move on! He gave away everything! Inconceivable!

Newton's suggestion here is that McCaffrey was more supportive in prior comments made around the end of the season.

I'm looking for what comments he might have referenced but so far haven't found anything.

      Monday practice tweets

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
