What did Cam want this time?

The main thing he wants is direct communication and accountability, one source said. If something is wrong he wants to be told directly. In the past when frustrations would occur, staffers or coaches wouldn't always come to him directly. Newton appreciated the direct communication he received from Bill Belichick in New England and he wanted the same from Rhule.

They promised he would have it.

 

Quote

 

When the Panthers traded for Stephon Gilmore, he asked to wear No. 1. The Rock Hill, S.C., native knew the importance of the number Cam Newton made famous in Carolina, and his request was partly an homage.

But out of respect for everything Newton had done for the organization, owner David Tepper made the decision not to give the vaunted number away. Until this week, of course.

 

Anyone have any insight to past communication issues?  Is that about they way his departure was handled or further back than that?

The past regime was in a way intimidated by Cam. They always tip toed around him out of an abundance of fear of upsetting him. They had no idea how to deal with a star of his caliber from day one.

It certainly explains a lot of the suspected issues from Cam's first stint. One of Ron's SOP was to be way too hands off. I know it takes a delicate balance but there really didn't seem much more than hands off from his regime. 

Communication is always important, I really hope they use this to improve the organizations functionality. People not being able to talk and going elsewhere starts a lot of drama and stress in most jobs, I can't imagine it being more fun at the NFL level. 

Good on Tepper, he is new as far as owners can go, but that's a great move by him.

To simplify this, it sounds like Cam just wants the organization to be real with him. To be fair, I could see how this could be hard; especially if you’ve never dealt with an individual with a big personality like Cam.

 

Its cool Tepper kept Cam’s #1 off limits

I would assume it's from the previous staff as the current staff would have had little to no in person contact with Cam.

Wow Stephon Gilmore requested to wear number 1? I'm glad Tepper shut that down with the quickness.

They do one thing right with the Number 1 Jersey on one hand.

Then on the other completely screw the pooch. 

There's no reason on earth why Matt Barkley should be wearing Jake's Number. None.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.

      Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?

      Bro I don't mind debating you, but did you really have to write all that to get your point across.   This isn't Madden. If you have the #1 pick you literally control your own destiny. If nobody wants to trade which I have a hard time believing they won't then you obviously take the best QB.   I think we will have suitors. If that's Madden then so be it.
