They said he would be willing to be a backup 

Who is they? His camp? Could be but also do you think he’s gonna sign a backup deal for vet min? I don’t know.

I feel like by the time he was vaccinated it was too late this season unless a big playoff contender just happens to have their starter and backup go down. I’m under the impression he’ll be in a camp next season auditioning for a starting job or backing up as serious super bowl contender.

We've burned bridges in Carolina but it's insane how teams like Pittsburgh or Even New Orleans haven't made moves to get him. Any team with him on the roster could be a playoff contender.

NO is fine with their backup, he’ll probably be their starter next year. Simmion or w/e. He’s fits the drew brees mold perfectly. Idk about pittsburg though?

Cam said it himself, as well as there already being speculation about it.

Basically, he said that he knew he would bring a large amount of distraction and media circus to any team that signed him, even (or maybe especially) if he was a backup.

He has been pretty unfairly hated and ridiculed throughout his entire career.

Full disclosure:  I think Cam is done.  He's just not good anymore.  If anyone thought he had anything left he'd be on a roster.

That said, the bridges here are burned on both ends.  Cam was treated fairly poorly by the current staff and front office. 

Cam doesn't want to come back here.  We clearly don't want him here.  Honestly, I'm not sure Cam really cares about football the way he used to.  He seems happy living his life, and good for him.  He deserves it.

It's very similar to the Steve Smith situation, except Steve was still pretty friggin' good.

One game. I followed the Patriots last year and was on their message boards monitoring the fans, they were ready for cam to be gone. He was throwing passes into the dirt like never before. 

I watched quite a few of their games too, and yes, he threw quite a few of those passes, but he was also throwing to fuging practice squad players all year behind a shell of their usual OL, and he still outproduced our QB who had a plethora of weapons.

And honestly, I don't listen to poo Pats fans have to say...  most of them didn't want him to begin with.  Boston/NE is one of the most racist areas in the country, and you pair that with him having to be the first guy to step in after Brady and he was setup for failure from the beginning.  It didn't matter what he did, they did not want him and were looking for their more picturesque replacement as soon as it was available.

Also, he looked good earlier in the season against Seattle.  So it wasn't just one game.  He really only struggled once he got covid and came back...  He still is capable of flashes of 2015, but I just don't know if he can consistently sustain it for a full season.  Regardless, even in his down games, he is a million times better than what we've fielded since he was released and he's still capable of averaging out to a Top 15 QB not even counting the running production.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By Basbear · Posted

      LOL, I tried to do this also....But I never found enough to make a guess.

      Who is/will be an 'All time great' thats on our roster right now?

      By Basbear · Posted

      gosh no one cares about the OGs...   Id list hunt here too, if not for missing 95% of the season.   Best I can say, Tri Turner was the best OG in panthers history if you factor in career length. Wharton was super solid, but never elite. Norwell while having a 1st all-pro, only played 2.5 starting years.    If lewis stays on the panthers and keeps his play lvl at 2025, his path is right there and easy. In 2028 he could be the best OG in panthers history.    Dang if panthers or NFL don't have long great careers.....its sooo rare.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By Basbear · Posted

      All true, Stafford and Mccvay were both talking about "retiring" during those future picks too, I member. In my computer when you make future trade, I feel you have to factor in the worst case or close to it from your side. The big issue for the panthers, maybe even now is that they have not proven they can draft well enough to trade. I know that Dan and company have not traded future picks and they seem to always want 7-8 picks overall. They like to trade 3 picks for 3 picks or 2 for 2.   It would have been great to flip BB for that haul and use those Rams picks instead of the first overall pick...... Verse wise, Jesus what a beast....... Garrett is the top dawg and all, but man this is rough for me. I also noticed this about the panthers they are pedo bears, they like dem young. So a 25 year old verse would have gotten gigged with the panthers. Even with NIL and 6th year, and even coofus fallback, panthers prefer younger players. Monroe Freeling (Round 1, Pick 19 | OT, Georgia): 21 years old Lee Hunter (Round 2, Pick 49 | DT, Texas Tech): 22 years old (estimated) Chris Brazzell II (Round 3, Pick 83 | WR, Tennessee): 22 years old Will Lee III (Round 4, Pick 129 | CB, Texas A&M): 21-22 years old (estimated) Sam Hecht (Round 5, Pick 144 | C, Kansas State): 21-22 years old (estimated) Zakee Wheatley (Round 5, Pick 151 | S, Penn State): 22 years old (estimated) Jackson Kuwatch (Round 7, Pick 227 | LB, Miami OH): 22-23 years old   Tetairoa McMillan, WR (Arizona) — Age: 22 Nic Scourton, EDGE (Texas A&M) — Age: 20 Princely Umanmielen, EDGE (Ole Miss) — Age: 21 Trevor Etienne, RB (Georgia) — Age: 20 Lathan Ransom, SAF (Ohio State) — Age: 23 Cam Jackson, DT (FL)- age 22 Mitchell Evans, TE (ND)- age 22 Horn-22   Fitterererere just turned out to be a awful hire, too green, too willing to please, no sense of what talent looks like on teams other than Seahawks, too much pressure, didnt have the correct network of coaches and FO office people. Kick was herniay leftd him with a bare bones talent to start with and besides taking a bottom level team and improving it, he made it even worse AND trading prime draft picks to prolong the timeline to fix. People forget Dan didn't have the 1st overall pick and 39th overall(that dude looking good for bears) to repair this team. Dan could have traded that 1st overall for a proven 1k WR, 9th overall, future 1st and future 2nd......
