s.Cam Newton has now lost 12 consecutive starts as Panthers QB. I guess wins don't matter if you're a minority QB. 

and yet inbetween that….Cam won 7 games with the Patriots with what was the worst roster in all of the NFL last year. 

but NE has good coaching.   The problem right now isn’t Cam.  It’s Matt Rhule’s created shitshow.

But for some reason Bellicheck decided to move on.  Maybe he realizes this is a passing league and Cam is not a good passer.

Yeah, because to an extent they are rebuilding the offense.  Cam isn’t a long term add.   They drafted a first round.  And yeah, Cam is too big of a personality for a young QB to deal with.  That’s not a knock on Cam.

He's not a HOF QB.

Nowhere close to being a good enough passer plus zero rings.

He has better passing numbers than some HoF Qbs have and he has an MVP, plus he is the biggest rushing threat at QB the game has ever seen. 

Im not saying he is a 100% lock, but he has a chance.

Cam Newton is a good quarterback but is he Hall of Fame worthy? That is a great question that will only be answered in time.
 
There’s no debating that Cam was a good quarterback because he was. Not only was he a good passer, even though he often had problems being accurate, but he really frustrated defenses with his legs, rushing for over 500 yards in six of his first seven seasons.
 
He was a lot of fun to watch, but with his career winding down, many of us on the Huddle are now asking the famous question — " Is he good enough to get into the Hall of Fame someday?"
 
For one, it’s not the end all, be all, but championships talk, especially for quarterbacks, and Cam has zero on his professional resumé. He led the Panthers to Super Bowl 50 in the 2015 season but they lost to the Broncos and he was heavily criticized for not diving on a loose fumble, which proved costly.
 
Secondly, Cam's numbers aren’t all that impressive in all honestly. He’s only thrown for more than 25 touchdowns once in his career and he did so in the 2015 season where he threw 35 touchdowns and rushed for another 10 . He won the league MVP in 2015 for his efforts and he definitely deserved it, but that was the only season where his numbers really popped.
 
Third, as good as Cam was in his MVP season, he didn’t even throw for 4,000 yards that year and only threw for 4,000 yards just once (2011, his rookie season). He’s also had double-digit interceptions in every season except for 2019 and he only started two games that year.
 
There is no doubting that Cam is a talented player and was a big name when he was playing at a high-level in the NFL, but when it comes time to discuss if he belongs in the Hall of Fame or not, that will remain to be seen by those doing the final selection..

I think he went with who he thinks is the best quarterback now.  Cam was a force early on before he got beat up, but he is not a good passer.  Consistent accuracy has always been an issue and always will be and now with diminishing arm strength it is even worse.

      XL about to turn the corner

      He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not.

      Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
