Carolina Panthers agree to terms with Cam Newton.

My son just loved Cam "Newkun" Newton (he called him Newkun when he was 4), and he would actually watch games with me to see Cam give balls to kids in the stands.  He loved that.  Since Cam got released, he has shown considerably less interest in the Panthers.

Today, when my wife told him, he ran around the house in joy, dabbing and doing the Superman.  Who knows what the final tale will be this season, but he brings excitement and joy back to the team.  That's got to count for something!

Hope this works out well.

If not, I guess they'll call Jake and tell him to start warming up.

 

 

I hope so too, but let’s be honest, Cam has to play behind this O line. How many weeks you think he will last ? I’m not trying to be funny here.

I challenge anyone that thinks Cam is completely broken to watch his 2020 highlights. Yes, he throws bad balls occasionally not in those, he's not in MVP form, but he is a significant upgrade over what we've seen the last 5 weeks (edit: what we've seen all year tbh). He gives us a real chance to succeed... And it also puts Brady on a real fuging hot seat imo.

He had the worst supporting cast in the league. And he got them to 7-9. That was with a terrible defense missing legit starters from covid opt outs. Cam can still make poo happen.

Dude Steven A and Dan O are both saying he isn't the answer either

It depends what the question is. This isn't a QB heavy draft.

if the question is, is Cam a 5 year answer at QB... Probably not. But if the question is who is the best option for this team to compete this year with the possibility of building on that going into next year? Cam is the ONLY answer.  If Cam works out over the next few games he'll be a starter here for a few years again, lock down QB, and let us move towards finding a longer term QB at a pace that isn't desperation.

Panthers should post that.  

there have been some guys around here really good at that.  It’s not up anymore but the guy who did the Jake Delhomme tribute to to the Killers song is still my favorite. 

I think that may be the same guy.  We used to message back and forth because I have a background in media production, so we had that shared interest, I'm just too lazy and full of excuses to pursue my dreams with it.🤣🤣🤣

He is definitely a beast though!

Depends on if Cam and Joe can get on the same page...we can't ask Cam to pass for 25+ per game.  He will need to be a game manager with his arm, and use his legs to stay ahead of the chains.  If we can run the ball effectively, consistently...we can win games.

Ugly football, but you can win.

I'm not optimistic, but it's not out of the question.

That Pats team didn't have a lot of weapons but the OL was better than what we have here.

    • I see Bryce's development this way: He improved when his supporting cast improved.  TMac and Dowdle saved his arse last year, but in fairness, most good QBs have good WRs and good RBs--and good OLs.   The 2025 OL underperformed, actually. They were above average, but they should have been elite if you consider the salary cap.   As soon as we signed Lewis and Hunt, I started thinking, "That's not sustainable.  With Ickey about to get paid a LT salary, Moton and Hunt grabbling $50m per season combined, and Lewis around $17m--that would be nearly $100m and the Center just walked.  Yikes.  What does that mean?  Rico walks, Mays walks, and we do not have a top 5 WR on a second contract.  We do not have an elite TE, and only 1 is on a modest second contract. And now Bryce will demand $50m for his incremental rise to mediocrity?   So when we sign Bryce, we will get weaker at other positions.  Hunt, Moton, maybe Ickey and Lewis, will all be casualties--that is the right move regardless (not sure yet about Ickey, but he was not elite) Bryce is one lucky, entitled camper.  No competition since being drafted, and he lost his job for a while to the aging clipboard holder.  Now we are bringing in UDFAs and busts to compete with him.  
    • Probably not.  If we are taking a QB, it would be a prospect to replace Bryce and not a flyer type player.  I can't say for sure, but I doubt he would have cracked the top 3-4 QBs even if he were to play this coming season.  
    • The Giants, Cardinals  and Dolphins should have moved on, but they didn't and ended up cutting their QB early into a monster second contract and had to eat a TON of dead cap money.
