Man, how does he NOT end up in Washington? I can’t really see any other scenario right now. I’d actually like to see him play with Ron again and a stellar D 


Ron doesn’t want unvaxed players.

I was thinking he was primed for a good season. Ultimately I honestly think one thing really caused this.

I think he would've had a better season but would have been benched after one bad game in favor of Jones.  That whole city and the organization is trying to manifest him to be the next Brady.

I wish Cam would just announce his retirement.  Hate to see the ending get worse and worse. 

forget Houston.  Cam's ego and career has already taken a big hit......he would just get murdered in Houston.   He went to NE to prove everyone wrong.  That opportunity doesn't exist in Hou. 

 

 

 

Backup QB is a great paying gig, don't have to do much. I'd be surprised if he retired.

I think you're right, although he would have been on a very short leash.  I think Mac was going to start at some point but Cam would have at least been the backup.  Now he's out of a job.

I love Cam.  I think he still had something left in him.  But he was never going to be the guy that played here again.  Going to Mac Jones makes sense.  Mac Jones has looked good IMO.  And I am a Mac hater. 

but it is surprising Cam wasn't kept.  Gotta think it wasn't about play.   Either the COVID issue became a deal breaker or Cam simply couldn't remain once told he would be the backup.

Ron’s immune system is messed up so don’t think he wants any unvaccinated players.

Yeah, but this is Cam Newton.  Journeyman backup IMO was never in the cards to finish out his career.... even if he technically could do the job.

It's an interesting point, do you think Cam asked to be cut rather than be a backup?

Woooooow.  Wtf?!?!?!?  Belichick is a fuging asshole.  After all that talk about him and Cam having a bond?  Cam deserved so much better..

I hope Mac Jones sucks ass.

Jones does and will suck ass. But Cam was never the answer for the Pats, Belichick had to do something at QB and as soon as he drafted Jones that high it was just a matter of time before he was starting.

I hate Belichick too but I think he did Cam a favor. It's not all that unlikely that Bill told Cam he was going to be the backup and Cam asked to be released. It's MUCH better than being traded to some sh*thole situation that he didn't want to go to.

      The Panthers Huddle Offseason Special

      I'll be patiently waiting to see what OL additions we snatch off the waiver wire.

      Look don't get me wrong here. I'm not arguing it's going to just change his arm talent overnight. I'm just saying doing anything on the physical front after the GM who stuck his neck out for him over the concerns around his physical traits got fired is better than doing nothing. That's another layer. It could easily be argued overall he needed to add at least 10 pounds not just for the sake of working in the pocket and not going down so easily but let's be honest eventually no matter how much we invest in the OL he's going to get hit some and those hits will add up. His frame as it stands is only going to absorb so much over a 17 game season. Oh definitely good or bad we will have to run a lot of under center stuff. Bryce will either look good or flounder. But our offense will remain stagnant if we just keep running shotgun plays 90% of the time. You're telegraphing your offense otherwise. That's why I'm not giving Chuba Hubbard too hard of a time over his YPC last year. We weren't fooling anyone. We'll see what Canales has cooked up. It better be pretty damn clever.

      Why would a team ever not be aggressive in improving the roster? It may look different from year to year but even the best rosters churn at the bottom. That's a no-brainer.
