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.

    • to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth. 
    • Jones got projected as the next Eli because they share a similar goofball, on the spectrum energy.  That's my theory.
    • I didn't think underrated was the wildest statement. The passing and offensive command he showed in week 18 against Atlanta was as good as any QB that has ever played for this franchise.  I mean THAT part is wild.  Which plays into the overrated part.  End of regulation I don't think he even hit 200 yards passing.  I mean he had a very efficient day vs a weak defense.   As good as we have ever seen in Carolina?
