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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I guess I should have stipulated outside the sacred cow.   I complained from year one that Bryce should compete for and win the starting job on his own merit but no he was just handed it. I have been right there with everyone that wants competition.  But I don’t really have a huge problem with it for this season the way it has gone because where are the viable people we don’t have to trade for? I actually am okay with tiny hands Pickett because he is so close to Bryce arm strength wise and to be honest, skill wise. Probably. And it is only a one year deal.  That also takes I to account that the QB class is looking stacked next year and if Young fails miserably then we get either a reset or a real competition and there will be more guys that I would like looking at in the FA QB class next year as well.    I sort of accept where we are this year and look at it as a treading water year. I just want to get to next year with some clarity. More than anything. And they did empty out the room. Again, who was really there for us?  And I know it would not be a true competition at this point anyway. They are giving him the year, like it or not.    Also I don’t give a poo about winning games IF he sucks and or goes down after sucking because draft position and that stacked QB class.  And I want out from under him So Bad.     So I guess it is several factors that lessen my anxiety over his backup this particular season.    I am not trying to convince anyone, but you asked.

      think these smaller Qb's are going to have a much harder time convincing an NFL team to draft them. not saying a smaller Qb under 6 feet tall will not make an NFL roster .it will most likely be a UDFA contract more or less prove it deal.NFL teams have been burnt time & time again investing in these small NFL Qbs & i think  teams are now finally starting to realize that investing in these smaller Qb's under 6 feet tall is simply a bad idea  ...just saying
