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 Waldo · Posted

      That zone was so soft that 3 guys were bearly on the screen. No rushing called. Playing off the line 10+ yards. Yeah that's garbage time. It took an onsides kick to make them try to play D again. Until then they didn't care and still wouldn't play real D against Young until they absolutely had to and that was with backups in the backfield. Slow start is freaking hilarious. He was gifted the lowest effort a bad team can give and still couldn't put anything together for 1 freaking series at the end after 2 quarters of warmup ball. It was like watching someone stretching for an hour and then pull a hammy after 10 feet of running.

      On the subject of Reich and him being no good as a coach, because he wouldn’t change everything he did to accommodate Young. He wanted to sit Young. He knew what Young was.  But to the point, was Andrew Luck a good QB under Reich in Indy? Most people don’t hesitate to say yes. Well, Luck thought enough of his coaching to bring him to Stanford.  There is a bona fide NFL QB that seems to dispute the painting of Reich as a incompetent and the reason for Young’s shortcomings.  Yes he got fired. It appears as if Tepper and Fitterer forced a QB he did not want on him and poisoned the well right from the start. I don’t blame Reich one bit for being pissed either.  And I wasn’t a Reich guy I wanted Wilks. I accepted the Reich hire but never lobbied for him.  Just saying he is being dogged here unfairly.

      I think its a mix of both. Bryce being too small and offense is too vanilla. Plays arent creative enough. Most are slants, fades and runs. But even Baker and Sam had to deal with vanilla offense and looked horrid. Thats why I say it's a mix of both.
