Questions about Newton's status in NE?

I'd be pretty surprised if NE outright cut Cam before the season.  But I'd also be equally surprised if Cam is their starting QB at the midway point in the season.  He's their best known commodity at QB at this point, but Belichick obviously isn't committed to him by any means.

Can Cam be a good backup though? Dude has been so used to being "The Man" since dominating at Auburn, can his personality and ego take the hit of not being a starter? 

It's unknown territory. I mean he's been on the sidelines with a clipboard before....but that was because of injuries. I'm not questioning if he's a good teammate (plenty of evidence he was always good to the squad) but can the dude handle being demoted?

If New England wants to move on from him they should look to swap him for Foles in Chicago. Cam can help groom Fields and Foles would be much better than Stidham or Hoyer to learn from in NE. Both teams win. 

I love Cam, but I don't think any teams will be clamoring for him to be the role model for their rookie QB. Hard worker and great player in his time, but not quite the fit for what you are talking about. Teddy would be, but not Cam IMO.

Newton strikes me as the type of guy to walk away from the game before he'd accept being a backup.

Here are the teams with the least space...

No shock who's at the top, but also noteworthy that every other team in our division is on that list.

 

Julio will be traded after June 1.  It's the only option they have to sign their draft picks, and that June 1 designation will mean his new team will only have to pay him 7.75 million for the next 3 years.  But since the Saints and Bucs can't afford him, Julio will no longer be in our division.

its almost like they don't expect newton to finish the season healthy.

How dare you. 

THE PJ Walker is undefeated and has beaten opponents by an average of 20 pts per game in the NFL. 

If he maintains such a pace, he basically will be Bo Jackson in tecmo bowl and go down in Panther history.

I imagine him landing in Raider land or the Bills

Depends what you are looking to get from him. 

Bill loves Cam to a large degree.   His work ethic.  His accountability.  How he gives everything in his tank.  How serious and important winning is.   First on the field.  And Cam is a great locker room guy.   

Depends what you want a vet to give to your young guy….I mean they have coaches for mechanics and all that.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
