Dude, he would have made more in the last year of his contract with us than this season and last combined .. what are you talking about

We've been over this.  He asked for a trade.  That is not the same as, I want to play the last year of my contract. 

Mods?

Everybody seems to be betting against Cam .. that doesn't seem like a smart thing to do

A Cam with his back against the wall? That’s going to be scary. 

Everyone who thinks the dumb decision to get rid of Cam was the “right” move is going to be very wrong I’m thinking

Cam has moved on. I seriously doubt he thinks much about the panthers anymore.

Cam was looking for a new long term contract from the Panthers.  His ability to play an entire season w/his nagging shoulder injury was a legitimate concern for management. 

We had some great years with Cam, but it was time to move on.

That's precisely my point.

After more than three months on the open market as a free agent in 2020, Cam agreed to an incentive laden contract in NE.  It wasn't close to the long term "Franchise QB" level contract many fans had anticipated from Carolina earlier that same year. 

In Cam's own words, he wasn't the same player in 2020 that Panthers fans knew from years gone by:

Quote

 

Via his Instagram account on Saturday, Newton said the quarterback the Patriots are paying for is not the same one who spent nine seasons with Carolina.

“What makes this (expletive) different is they ain’t never seen this Cam,” Newton said. “They ain’t never seen him. (Expletive) because you want to know how I know? Because I ain’t never seen him. The forgotten Cam. The (expletive)-on Cam. The tired-of-being-sick-and-tired Cam. Felt like I was just left to die. ‘It’s over with for him. He ain’t the same player.’ I love it. I adore it. I admire it. I want to taste it. Everything about it. You know what I’m saying? Because I ain’t never seen that me.”

Unfortunately, 2020 didn't help Newton's long term prospects. 

However, if Cam's shoulder has fully recovered, 2021 may finally be his comeback year.  

Time will tell. 

Regardless of outcome, this is no longer about Carolina.

Our decision was not to renew.

"It was their decision. I stuck with it, and I knew that, so I asked for a trade.

Watch him say it here:

 

 

this guys is a troll, watch him disappear

Yeab BB doesn’t think he’s abysmal enough for 5 mil while drafting a qb in the first, which I believe is the only time BB has ever done that in his career.

back to cam’s comments about ‘commitment’ and being traded…means what? some sort of cam fanboy code?

acting like this was least year, we’ve seen the results already…yea we know about the excuses, they’ve been on repeat for a decade…but the results. They weren’t good. It was a good move.

And the haters are just fuging sad.

I'm sorry,  laughing at a poster for typing this out "Everybody seems to be betting against Cam .. that doesn't seem like a smart thing to do " is not hating on cam. 

Cam is entering Uncle Rico territory at this point.  He was a great great QB but that was an eternity ago in the NFL

If the possibility of seeing people make positive comments regarding our former QB is so triggering for you, you could always just not click on the thread but invariably there you are in every thread about Cam like a moth to a flame.

      Draft picks are better for cap management and production always outperforms athleticism over time.

      2026 Mock Drafts

      By Crixtala · Posted

      all the trades and using PFFs draft rankings and Gemini's analysis: This is a high-value mock draft that effectively uses trade-down strategies to rebuild the Carolina Panthers' defensive interior and add depth to a roster with multiple holes. By turning mid-round capital into a volume of picks, you've secured several "sliding" stars and developmental high-ceiling players. Based on 2026 PFF big board trends and player value, here is the analysis: Draft Grade: A- The Top Picks: Interior Dominance  * 19. Peter Woods (DT, Clemson): Getting Woods at 19 is a steal. Heading into the 2025 season, he was viewed as a potential top-5 talent. While his production dipped slightly, his 4.75 40-yard dash at 315 lbs is elite. He provides the Panthers with a versatile disruptor who can play 3-tech or slide outside.  * 63. Dontay Corleone (DT, Cincinnati): "The Godfather" is one of the best pure nose tackles in the class. Pairing him with Woods creates an immediate identity for the Panthers' front seven. PFF loves his "unmovable" anchor. Securing him at the end of Round 2 after trading down from 51/53 is excellent value. The Mid-Round Steals  * 83. Deontae Lawson (LB, Alabama): Lawson is a high-IQ "green dot" linebacker. Many scouts projected him as a late 1st or early 2nd rounder before an ACL injury in late 2024. Getting a 2-time Alabama captain at 83 to lead the defense is a massive win for culture and stability.  * 130. Drew Allar (QB, Penn State): This is the "high-upside lottery ticket" pick. Allar has prototypical size (6'5", 240 lbs) and a massive arm. His stock fell due to a 2025 ankle injury and inconsistency, but at 130, he’s a low-risk, high-reward backup/successor to Bryce Young if the former No. 1 pick continues to struggle. Trade Analysis & Late Round Value Your strategy of "tier-dropping" (trading 51 for 53/121 and 53 for 63/95) allowed you to stay in the same talent bracket while picking up Kevin Coleman Jr. (WR) and Genesis Smith (S).  * 168. Parker Brailsford (OC, Alabama): Great value for a technical center who can compete for a depth spot.  * 169. Tacario Davis (CB, Washington): At 6'4", he is a rare physical specimen at corner. PFF and other boards often have him as a Day 2 talent; getting him in the 5th round (via the 161 trade) is arguably your best value pick of the draft. Summary of Picks | Pick | Player | Position | School | Analysis | | 19 | Peter Woods | DT | Clemson | Elite traits; Top-10 ceiling. | | 63 | Dontay Corleone | DT | Cincinnati | Best run stuffer in the class. | | 83 | Deontae Lawson | LB | Alabama | Vocal leader; sliding due to injury. | | 121 | Kevin Coleman Jr. | WR | Missouri | Speed threat to complement the room. | | 130 | Drew Allar | QB | Penn State | High-ceiling developmental passer. | | 169 | Tacario Davis | CB | Washington | Massive reach/length for a late flyer. | Final Verdict You addressed the trenches aggressively and took advantage of "injury discounts" on Lawson and Allar. The only minor critique is that the roster still feels thin at Edge (until the 211 pick), but the sheer volume of talent added to the interior DL and Secondary compensates for it.
