Panthers GM Scott Fitterer: Cam Newton's return 'in his hands'

https://pantherswire.usatoday.com/2022/04/01/panthers-gm-scott-fitterer-cam-newtons-return-free-agency/

I take this as Cam has an offer from us. If we take Cross, Cam says alright I'll sign. You can't have James Campen and not Cam Newton

With Cam’s latest debacle, I don’t think that offer is sitting there anymore

Are we gonna pretend we didn't desperately pursue an accused serial sexual predator for over a year?

Not sure what that has to do with the Cam situation. It’s bad timing for him to go on video and speak about women the way he did. 

 

if Can was MVP caliber talent, then the contract would probably be on the table. However, it’s bad press for a sub par valued player.

Cam said something that's not PC. Watson is accused of a dozen cases of sexual misconduct. We can't fall all over ourselves to trade the franchise for an accused serial sexual predator then pull an offer for Cam because of some non-PC comments.

Baker is NOT elite ... but he's better than Sam, PJ, an unhealthy JG, Cam, Willis, Pickett, Corall, the Nevada statue, and the Huddle's love fest Minshew. He could give us 9 wins.

But him being an a-hole d-bag? Uh ... Brady, A-Rod, Cam, Jameis, Big Ben, Watson, Favre, Rivers, Vick, Namath, Kaep, McNabb, and Jay Cutler all have had their moments. Just win, baby?

What the heck did Cam day or do? I haven't heard a thing about it if he did anything.

 

EDIT: Oh nevermind I just read it. His comments were really not all so terrible as they were made out to be. He was just talking trash with some guys on a podcast. How many of us males in the world have not talked some crap just like that to their buddies.

If they were to do a straight Darnold/Mayfield trade I think it'd have us including at least a 4th rounder or average player to give them some incentive to fill out the paperwork if they're gonna cut whichever QB anyway. Jacoby is getting his $4.5M and knows he'll get to start the first handful of games so I doubt they want any extra drama going into OTA's/training Camp with one of these 2018 busts hangin around 

They don't want cut Baker because then Baker could go to Pittsburgh. In that scenario, he might beat out Trubisky. Cleveland would have to face him twice a year.

It's one thing for Baker to recover and do well with a team in another conference. It's another thing if he's balling out for one of your biggest rivals.

I don't think Cleveland would care if Darnold signed with Pittsburgh after they cut him.

Honesty, as long as the compensation isn’t too much, 4th or later next year, I’m good with it. He’s our best option right now, I like his attitude, he can play when he’s not injured. He’s no star but he’s young and better than Darnold ever was, more potential too.

The Baker situation doesn’t seem as bad as other failed QBs we tried in Carolina. Baker would still be a Brown except they had an extremely rare opportunity to acquire a top young QB in the league. He just helped the Browns get into the playoffs 2 years ago when he was healthy. 
The Niners traded 3 firsts to draft an unknown in Lance because they knew QB was their weakness. Trading for a proven top young QB that you didn’t think you had a chance to acquire until the last minute doesn’t really make Baker a true “castoff” like Jimmy G, Darnold, and Teddy IMO.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      By Kentucky Panther · Posted

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      The Carolina Huddle

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.

      My top-5 JAGS: 1. Tommy Tremble: May not ever be top-tier, but has been solid and you never doubt the effort. 2. Cade Mays: Not bad for a 6th rounder. Hated to see him go. 3. Brady Christensen: One of the most versatile backup OLs in the NFL. Hopefully we re-sign him. 4. Trevis Gipson: Quietly was really solid depth last season. Glad we brought him back. 5. Brycen Tremayne: Has been solid depth at WR, flashing at times last year.
