If he retires maybe people will stop talking about him?

If the Panthers want fans to stop looking in the rear view they need to win. But praying quarterbacks like Teddy Bridgewater and Sam Darnold will take them to the promised land won't change much in the short term.

NFL teams don’t want Cam Newton


 

 Many thought the former NFL MVP was the clubhouse leader to start for New England, and after his release it was speculated that he would quickly land a backup job elsewhere.

But according to reports, that may not materialize as soon as expected – if at all. NFL Network insider Ian Rapoport appeared on “NFL Now” on Thursday and suggested teams may not be lining up for the 32-year-old’s services.

“Unless I’m missing something, I really don’t see a landing spot,” Rapaport said. “You would also say, do you want Cam Newton, who has been a megastar, someone who is magnetic in the locker room … do you want him as a backup quarterback?

“I am not sure where Cam Newton gets a job, and I am not sure if Cam Newton gets a job.”

Rapoport mentioned Newton’s status in the league as a reason teams may be hesitant to sign him as a backup.

“Sometimes you don’t want a backup quarterback to overpower or over-star the starter. That may happen with Cam Newton

Not around here they won't.  Greg, Smitty, Luke, etc all retired and people still talk about them plenty.

Occasionally but not in place of Panther coverage on a regular basis.

Cam is still a major subject of current social media content creators.

Cam was also a bigger name than any of the others and is still technically a player in the NFL.  And yet we did have a lengthy thread about the clothes Luke wore to a different team's training camp, so non-Panthers threads aren't crazy for franchise icons.

    • XL could easily be the last dog at the bowl for WR production next year.  That could leave him around 200-300 yards which would be disastrous.
    • Well sure, that's where the disconnect is then. If Thielen only gets 300-400 yards and T-Mac is healthy for the full season, then I'm with you guys, in that scenario there is absolutely zero excuse for him to not put up over 1,000 yards.   In fact, I'll let you double that, if Thielen has only 600 yards, then again, my expectations are for T-Mac to surpass the 1k mark with ease. But his game has never been about his physical abilities, so even if he loses a half a step, he's still the same player who is a savvy route runner who will get open and Bryce will continue to find him due to their chemistry.  Particularly since Bryce isn't a QB who forces things, he takes what the defense gives him.  So when teams focus on T-Mac and Thielen is more free to find those holes in the defense than he has the last two years, I don't think Bryce is going to ignore him. If someone wants to argue for T-Mac getting to 1,000 yards, personally, I'd say those yards would be far more likelier to come from XL and Coker than Thielen.  And that has nothing to do with XL or Coker, but that I'm still a firm believer in Thielen being able to still get 50-60 yards a game, again, particularly as he'll have less defensive attention on him than in either of his 2 seasons with us so far. Just because T-Mac is our #1 of the future who will have the ball forced to him at times, doesn't mean he needs to be forced into that role from day 1 when we have 3 very legitimate WR options next to him. Let the rookie grow into the role and the NFL game, we have that ability to do so because of Thielen, XL, and Coker.
    • Spot on. He's only 20 and his height 6'2 and weight 230lbs might make him more of an off-ball LB possibility. He's a multi-year project
