Is this about us? I’m worried

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.

"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.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      lol well that kinda ended up working out in the end, even though I still don't have my jersey yet. Was supposed to ship by tomorrow this time, but just got another email saying it was delayed another 3 weeks and because it's been delayed so long, I had to tell them to keep the order or cancel it, but gave me a 25% off my next order as an apology. Well, my original fear came true and they are now selling the FUSE version (but still not the Blue unfortunately) before the one I ordered was ever shipped. But that's awesome, because I was able to use that coupon to order the FUSE instead and then cancelled the original order.  So I got the jersey I wanted for only $6.30 more than the crappier version costs, and it also says it will be shipped immediately and get here early next week, or 2 weeks before the other was now supposed to be shipped out.

      I've watched this and think we are well underway.  Believe it or not, Bryce is a big part of this.  The way he bounced back with such grace.  And we've got a lot of young players who want to make their mark, Dave is giving them an opportunity.  I loved our draft.  I like the number of guys we brought in, and they will help build the culture we want under Dave.  We're getting closer, and I think we'll see more wins this year than most of the board. The right culture breeds winning, and winning builds the right culture.  Imho, it's coming.

      As others have said it's both. One creates the other. But it also takes time sometimes years. And there have been teams lately with new car smell coaching staffs that looked like they were putting it together quickly but things came crashing back down to Earth. Sustainability is the key. For that to happen the meddling of our owners has to stop and they cannot be tempted to return to their ways over any bump in the road either.
