The thing about the Patriots was that Cam was in a lose lose situation. Let’s say he started, as soon as he threw a pick the fans would have been calling for Mac. As for as being vaccinated or not, that’s your choice: I’m fine if you get it . I’m fine if you don’t. It’s not my body. Wish him luck going forward but Cam is set for life. No need to feel sorry for him. He is still the best QB to ever put on a panther jersey

Oooh…ABC World news just said something para phrasing Newton saying that he had trouble learning the playbook because of Covid…

That can’t be the reason…right?

Just verbatim-ing from the report for others.

He previously said "His own covid battle set him back, making it harder to learn the playbook"

I might be wrong but so am pretty sure if you watch the I AM ATHLETE episode featuring Cam….he talks about how covid derailed his season.    Said the team kept moving when he was out and he could never catch back up to them.

Covid derailed everyone's lives. I lost my job because of covid and still haven't recovered and due to my age I probably never will. Much like millions of other people around the world.

can’t remember the backup, but there is a story he told about Tom Brady….

He asked Tom Brady about kicking him off the field and taking his reps in practice one day.  Brady told him everyone in the NFL is good.  That’s why he hogged the reps.  Paraphrasing.

Is he eligible for the practice squad?

 

Imagine if we had signed him for 4 years at $120m?  Remember when Cam wanted commitment?
Love Cam, but I knew Rivera had spent 9 years going off road with a Lamborghini.

      Serious question:  Why LG and not RG?  There may be something I do not know, but Hunt's contract is huge and he could be let go after this season (post june 1 cut) and it would save the Panthers a ton of money.  Extending him would be paying a G who is in his mid 30s guaranteed money (and I do not see that as a terrible thing).  So if we release him at age 31, we save $19m.  I like him, but at 31, will he be worth the mega contract?   LG Damien Lewis has actually outperformed Hunt and he is a year younger.  He would also save less vs. the cap and leave less in the dead cap pool.  While his current contract expires after the 2027 season, he is a better prospect (IMO) to extend because only 50% of his current contract was guaranteed.  Here are his contract numbers.   Now, getting to Ickey--he could want LT money if he is offered a second contract.  If we pay him LT money to play either G positions, we are likely overpaying.  Secondly, the injury he suffered could be one that limits his productivity.  Ickey was improving, but he was an average LT.  The only way I re-sign Ickey is to have him accept a G contract and make a lot of it incentive based.     I feel like I am missing something, but in my mind, Ickey was always a guard if you consider the fact that he is an average OT and would be a great G.  Is that still the case (injury)?

      Sorsby to the supplemental draft

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Supplemental draft uses picks from next year. So a team were to draft him in the 1st, their upcoming 1st next draft would no longer be available. There have been some notable players that were obtained in the supplemental draft, such as Kosar. It doesn't necessarily happen every year either, and is more on a as needed basis. The gambling trouble is a big red flag for teams, and maybe pushes him down to a 4th? Not sure a team would use a 1st on him.
