He's back.

The Panthers on Thursday agreed to terms with quarterback Cam Newton, bringing the former No. 1 overall pick back to Charlotte, pending a physical.

Well sh*t.

The Fat Lady has sung after all.

It's raining Frogs.

And the Earth is flat apparently. 

 

Never  would I have expected THIS to happen and that's no joke.

I love Cam so I pray all this works out for good!

Me too, but I've been of the opinion for a while that fuggin' "Coach of the Year" MO-RON ("Yes, I care about da community and da peoplez!") Rivera ruined him physically and he's not able to do it anymore.

And I'd be thrilled as fug if he can show me I'm wrong... and, dear lord, what a wonderful FUG U to the goddam NFL if he does! 

Yeah, even though he does still have a nasty scar in his back from a black, blue, and silver dagger.  Dude has just shown he's bigger and better than that, so I may as well follow his example.

Falcons fan perspective [albeit one with a soft spot since i) he’s a local kid and ii) he and I have the same favorite team ;)]: Very good move. Cam is definitely still one of the best 30 QBs on the planet even if he’s just 75% healthy. Darnold may not even be in the top 50.

Fortunately Cam is not 1/100 the whiney wuss you are.

Just watching some old highlight reels and feeling pretty nostalgic tonight. We really did have something with this guy, didn't we?

My favorite Cam moment: the 2013 last march down the field and TD to Hixon to beat the Saints, and win the division. Because he made everyone in that stadium believe he was going to do it (including most importantly, his teammates), then he did. That was some special energy. Just a quarter of that feeling would blow anything that's happened this season out of the water.

Cam never should've been released. We were mostly excited to see what he could do in Joe Brady's system since Cam spent so long in the same basic philosophies of Mike Shula and Norv Turner. This system is something unlike Cam has run and he has a full compliment of skill position players he hasn't had since 2013.

If the Panthers could build a quality offensive line around him, one that could keep Cam in the top half of the league in QB hits, we could see a Renaissance for him here at home. I thought cutting Cam for Teddy was to tank for draft picks and it turns out I was wrong, they really thought we could win with him.

Now I'm not convinced we can win this season with Cam, considering we can only be as good as our weakest link, and our weakest link ot once of the worst in the league. 

We have a Top Quarter defense, a top 5 running back group, a Top 15 receiver Corp, a top 15 QB, and a bottom 2 offensive line. If Cam can show something, and we can be in the running for a Wild Card, the Panthers need to consider giving Cam a shot in this offense, in his city. Do not do him like you did last time. Cam built the culture that persists today, let him continue that. 

We saw where he was when we had CMC his rookie year. If they can adapt the playbook quick enough, it should be exciting ball.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have.

      Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
