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.

      I get it's subjective and I said "PFF rated him as" one of the top deep ball passers during that time, which is an accurate statement.  They are still a group of professionals that look at film and data in order to make their judgements/ratings.  These people whose data has been incorporated into a lot of teams' staffs view Bryce's deep throws as some of the best in the league during that stretch.  That tells me that he can probably throw a deep pass vs the Huddle's version of he is small and didn't do it his rookie year so he must not be able to.  That and literally seeing him do it just makes me feel he is more than capable of doing so.   Do you think PFF is skewing their opinion to prop up a QB in a bottom tier franchise?  It's just another group's opinion and I feel is pretty respected around the league currently.  It's not the gospel truth or anything.

      I still remember how happy I was that gettlegut was not the GM once he picked Jones, that was a firing pick and well..... If not for the raiders drafting Clelin Ferrell, it was the biggest draft day mistake in the last 20 some years.

      He had 251 passing yards. 3 passing touchdowns and 2 rushing touchdowns. All in all a very impressive game. Problem is I do not envision his rushing ability translating like that over the course of the upcoming season. Yeah it will be something to account for from time to time but one it's not sustainable and two you don't want to put his durability to the ultimate test against a motivated defender willing to take a penalty and a fine. And plus with our backfield. Two 1k yard rushers. That's what they're here for. Then we have a much improved WR room. That means Bryce has to elevate those passing numbers substantially. The fact of the matter is regardless of circumstances it did take him 23 games to surpass Kyle Allen's single season passing yardage from 13 games in 2020. And that is not a high bar by any means. Whatever QB tier Bryce ends up in from here amongst his peers this upcoming season when it's all said and done it will be with his arm.
