Cam Newton might not be able to hold Jones off for the whole season, but he likely gives the Patriots a better shot at winning early in the year.

Jones will obviously have a fairly steep learning curve, much like every rookie and free agent to ever land in New England. I just don’t see Jones being under center Week 1.

and even if Mac comes in and plays this year.  I just don't see Bill not utilizing Cam Newton even with Mac playing.

It will be a beautiful day when #1 retires a Carolina Panther. We can finally put all this ugly nonsense among the fans to rest and celebrate his career and what he did for the city and the franchise. That is all that matters everything else is just noise.

No idea if Jones pans out but it will be hilarious if he does and the usual suspects who trashed him see it as an opportunity to bash their own team. 

You damn well know it's coming.

What never ceases to be hilarious is you posting absolute drivel from your high horse while avoiding taking any actual stance whatsoever other than everyone else other than you is an idiot.

Yep.  We will be the Jaguars.  Bragging about Jalen Ramsey yet not being able to win football games.   We've been there before.  Boasting about having the best 1-2 punch at RB or a 1k/1k RB.....and losing. 

People like to be hyperbolic about this stuff...but no one "boasts" about individual players during losing seasons.  It's perfectly fine to recognize and praise the accomplishments of individual players within the confines of a season, or to be hopeful about your team's prospects moving forward because of the notable performances of Player X or Player Y.  Unless I'm mistaken and there are Panthers' fans that approach Bucs' fans celebrating their Super Bowl victory and go "Oh YEAH, well we had the runner-up DROY!!!".

I remember the specific thread someone made about CMC being the third player in NFL history to go 1K/1K which was just littered with "SO WHAT, WE SUCKED" posts crammed down the OP's throat.  Like, jesus...lol.

Maybe make the playoffs…but at the saints and packers and beat chiefs to win it all?…no way without the GOAT

They got lucky as it was to win the super bowl, they could have had any of the top tier QBs and still had a very good chance to win it all.

Yeah as sad as it would be, I could see Belichick using Cam in certain packages like the Saints had traditionally been using Taysom Hill, or like Baltimore used Lamar Jackson in the first half of his rookie season.  People continuously harp on the Panthers running Cam into the ground but seem to gloss over the fact that Cam had the HIGHEST rush volume of his entire career with New England last year...at 31 years old coming off of multiple injury-riddled seasons.

      Yeah, Bryce has to put that a little deeper. But XL can't allow the pick there. Gotta become the DB when you're undercut like that.

      Micah officially requests a trade

      By TD alt · Posted

      You see, I just don't subscribe to a cookie cutter type of philosophy when it comes to trades or team building. Every situation is different. Many may disagree, but I think that FOs that can't draft impact-players beyond the first round aren't really viable.  Just for argument's sake, because we all know this hypothetical trade is as realistic as the moon being made of cheese, Micah is a young dawg really just beginning his prime and is arguably the most valuable pass rusher in the league. He could realistically play at a high level for at least the next five to seven years. Parsons' current trajectory is Canton. That being said, he's not some old merc that fits the mold of "one piece away," he's a core piece to any defense for the better part of the next 10 years. Pass rushers of his caliber and age don't generally become available, so, sure, he'd help an elite team, but he's also a fit for a younger team that's building. I know that you don't agree, but it's all good. I respect your rationale.

      By pantherclaw · Posted

      Here's my not important take on this subject.  Who wouldn't want a pass rusher of his consistency?  I would absolutely love to have him on this defense.   Would I give up Brown in a trade for him.  Nope, I would never do that.  Interior linemen are way to important to be settling for whatever you can get at the position.   Would I trade 2 firsts,  plus fork out a big contract for him?   Without knowing if Young is for sure going to be our long term, franchise guy,  there is no way I'd be okay with letting go 2 firsts. As for the contract that he'd demand, I just dont get caught up with NFL contracts.  They have been out of control for decades.  So I really dont get upset over big contracts. It's just a fact of life in the NFL.  You HAVE to pay for talent.
