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.

    • It's rare enough for a running back to tear the same ACL twice. There's not much of a sample size on the recoveries. And of course Dobbins has missed a lot of time--he was injured twice. That number will drop as his career continues, and even if it doesn't, that doesn't necessarily mean it has anything to do with the prior injuries. Dobbins just started and played well for a playoff team all year until he was injured by a hip-drop tackle. Surely his ACL recoveries didn't contribute to his completely random foot injury caused by an illegal tackle? Again, I'm confused why everyone is being so definitive that there's 'very little chance' of any meaningful contribution ever when the greatest counterpoint ever played for us. Thomas Davis tore the same knee over and over again and was basically fine. As for the roster-building stuff, we'll see what happens with Chuba and Dowdle at the end of the year, but Etienne's not going to factor into this. Either Brooks comes back, in which case we've already seen more from him than we have from Etienne, or he doesn't. But Etienne's not forcing him off the team. If anything, Etienne's current role is his absolute floor.
    • Then I would assume disingenuous. Why on earth would you consider this an "exciting" time to be a Panthers fan? Let me ask this, how old are you and how long have you been an NFL fan?
    • An ESPN writer had a good breakdown of teams that were likely to come back to earth(KC and Redskins were two of them) based on outlier results in 2024 in close games. I think that has a lot to do with it. Found it: https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/46003861/nfl-teams-likely-decline-lose-more-games-2025-season-predictions-vikings-chiefs-commanders-lions-colts
