Belichick says vaccination status had nothing to do with Newton's release. Breer believes him.

I'm not entirely certain whether I do 🤔

I doubt it was the deciding factor but there's no way it didn't play into it at all. They're just covering their asses. The Player's Association is investigating Urban Meyer for cutting unvaccinated players.

So sorry for your loss.  So many tragedies...it is a world I never imagined.

This has been a tough year. I lost my first cousin Monday, his Mom two months ago (long-standing medical issues) and five months ago I lost another cousin to suicide. This has been a trying year for so very many people. I really need a good season of football to help me cope, yanno? And to enjoy that season with the folks I love.

I definitely don't. I mean, he even admitted himself that he couldn't say whether or not Cam's absence influenced the depth chart decision which I take as basically an admission that it did. Even if his vaccination status didn't play a direct role in the decision, missing five days and allowing Jones an opportunity to impress as the defacto starter during that time period - including a joint practice - surely played  some role in determining the depth chart.

i believe him.

belichick is about winning, now more than ever. i seriously doubt he risks another losing season over vaccination status when there are protocols in place for unvaccinated players. newton not following those protocols only added to the over hyped newton vs. jones "competition". if newton actually outplayed mac jones in the offseason, newton would be under center day 1.

Cam took us to more than just to the playoffs. He took the Panthers to the Superbowl in 2015.. I think he is done though. I'm ready for the Carolina Panthers to win a Superbowl..

He took this organization to new heights. Cam literally carried this fanbase into relevancy during his peak years.

Speaking of vaccinations, glad we don't have to worry about our own QB regarding that.

Now if only there was a vaccination for Crappy O-Line play.....

Yep. I give Darnold credit here. He clearly had reservations or at least a desire to have his decision remain private, but ultimately he did the right thing whether it was for his own benefit or for the team's. Hats off.

I’m not mad at Bill for cutting Cam. Cam brought this on himself, but this is not a good look for Bill answering that question in this way.

It’s obvious he doesn’t want to admit that Cam being unvaccinated played a role in him being cut, but he dropped the ball with this response.

No one is saying vaccines solve every problem or that you’ll be immune from Covid.

Yep. I get it. One way or the other, Belichick wants to sell this as a purely performance based decision. Completely understandable but he should probably STFU with the misinformation. Simply call it a performance based decision and move on. He's usually really good at saying as little as possible to the media. This is a great time to stick to that philosophy.

Folks against it use that as their current excuse "People with the vax are getting it, so why bother?" 

Look where that got Perryman lol.

      Panther fans sound off on Bryce

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Just my opinion, so take it for what it's worth. I think Bryce decides who he's throwing to before the snap too often instead of reading what he sees post snap. Now alot of that is trying to influence the safety, but if the safety doesn't bite, he gets stuck and it turns into Bryce trying to make a play off schedule as the other options are gone. Cam did the same thing when Kelvin and Smitty were in the game. Bryce sees the field. He just gets a little stubborn sometimes. And that's when he gets himself into trouble. That and he doesn't trust guys to make plays on 3rd down. Instead of throwing to the open guy and letting them get the remaining 3-5 yards for the first, he'll wait until he can throw a guy to the markers. I don't think those physical limitations that keep being brought up is that real for him. Well... until he gets tackled and fumbles the ball at an alarming rate. But he has a strong enough arm, sees the field, and doesn't get injured by regular hits.

      Panthers win of course.  Like every Sunday I still have the hopelessly optimistic mindset  😎

      You do realize that first play was at 9:16 and they scored a TD before the 2 minute warning. 7 minutes is not a super long drive to come out with a TD. Longer developing plays is what helped get Carolina in the situation they were in. So you're suggesting they should have kept calling the same plays that weren't working? Are you suggesting Bryce keep throwing the same passes that weren't being completed? They were not in soft zone coverage. For comparison, this is Carolina's first defensive alignment in the 3rd quarter, and that's with only 1 WR on the field.  Cardinals were in a normal alignment/depth to stop run or pass. Not a soft zone to give underneath passes to TEs/RBs only. The LBs would likely be closer to 10 yards deep and the DBs more like 15-20 yards in that scenario.
