Man, how does he NOT end up in Washington? I can’t really see any other scenario right now. I’d actually like to see him play with Ron again and a stellar D 


Ron doesn’t want unvaxed players.

I was thinking he was primed for a good season. Ultimately I honestly think one thing really caused this.

I think he would've had a better season but would have been benched after one bad game in favor of Jones.  That whole city and the organization is trying to manifest him to be the next Brady.

I wish Cam would just announce his retirement.  Hate to see the ending get worse and worse. 

forget Houston.  Cam's ego and career has already taken a big hit......he would just get murdered in Houston.   He went to NE to prove everyone wrong.  That opportunity doesn't exist in Hou. 

 

 

 

Backup QB is a great paying gig, don't have to do much. I'd be surprised if he retired.

I think you're right, although he would have been on a very short leash.  I think Mac was going to start at some point but Cam would have at least been the backup.  Now he's out of a job.

I love Cam.  I think he still had something left in him.  But he was never going to be the guy that played here again.  Going to Mac Jones makes sense.  Mac Jones has looked good IMO.  And I am a Mac hater. 

but it is surprising Cam wasn't kept.  Gotta think it wasn't about play.   Either the COVID issue became a deal breaker or Cam simply couldn't remain once told he would be the backup.

Ron’s immune system is messed up so don’t think he wants any unvaccinated players.

Yeah, but this is Cam Newton.  Journeyman backup IMO was never in the cards to finish out his career.... even if he technically could do the job.

It's an interesting point, do you think Cam asked to be cut rather than be a backup?

Woooooow.  Wtf?!?!?!?  Belichick is a fuging asshole.  After all that talk about him and Cam having a bond?  Cam deserved so much better..

I hope Mac Jones sucks ass.

Jones does and will suck ass. But Cam was never the answer for the Pats, Belichick had to do something at QB and as soon as he drafted Jones that high it was just a matter of time before he was starting.

I hate Belichick too but I think he did Cam a favor. It's not all that unlikely that Bill told Cam he was going to be the backup and Cam asked to be released. It's MUCH better than being traded to some sh*thole situation that he didn't want to go to.

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By frankw · Posted

      Yeah I find myself flipping between the worst case scenario of Bryce either playing just mediocre enough for our decision makers to justify giving him a contract extension in their eyes because they want to justify drafting him. Or Bryce going back to playing poorly and us having no one else to fall back on because Pickett might be decent for one or two games but there's no one else and our locker room starts to get ugly because we went all in with our salary cap and guys careers are on the line. This scenario which IMO is the higher probability given our schedule and the amount of tape out there on Bryce is why I say if we can trade down and acquire a few more mid or late round picks we should draft a developmental QB. Not looking for a guy to be the savior but someone with the necessary physical tools and who could actually run a QB sneak. But we'll just have to see how it shakes out. I just want a competitive team but the last thing I want is the season to fall apart because we once again threw our arms up in regards to the QB room.

      ^This. Rico was dynamite when we needed it last season, but not enough to keep but it massively upped his earning potential. It was a win-win for both sides. And he was there to cover the hole left by the injury to another RB, and hopefully his release to free agency means there's good news for us on the way. These new ones give us the opportunity to do that again, on the offensive line and elsewhere. We've got some long term question marks here and there due to injuries and age, and these players have a chance to up their value on the open market or settle down with us if the opportunity arises. And none of it ties us down with dead money down the road if it doesn't work out. And we've been in dead money hell for a decade now. Lease the ones you like, buy if you fall in love.

      Tight End: The Need is Bigger than We Think

      By firefox1234 · Posted

      Our red zone offense was excruciatingly painful to watch last season. A half decent TE would do a lot to change that.
