Do they re-sign Cam now?

[Brooklyn 3.0]

He'd put butts in the seat and we'd win 7 or 8 games! WOOOO! Aaaaaand lose out on draft position again.

Just watch the abomination that is this franchise and team and hope we get a top draft spot. Only Sam, Baker, and PJ can do it properly.

There’s no downside to bringing him back. The offense is legitimately awful. Cam can at least put a couple TDs on the board a game usually. He’s better than any of the QBs on the roster, yet again. 

There are several downsides:

• Wasted cap space/rollover
• Further tarnish Cam's legacy by not putting him in a position to succeed

[Silent Majority]

The season is a lost cause. Let Cam ball and be a place holder so he and the fans and the city could just have fun. What would it matter. However it won't happen. At least we have a reason to watch the rest of this season now.

Only time I’d bring Cam back again is for a 1 day contract to retire as a Panthers.

lol... you literally just supported my statement. That year Wentz had 64 rushing attempts, and was on pace for over 100 total carries before tearing his ACL.... Successful RPO offenses leverage the QB as a rushing weapon as well.

ironically, Wentz tore his ACL on a rushing play.

It is true though that an RPO based offense isn't the same thing as a read option scheme.

And honestly, I have a hard time picturing Newton running McAdoo's offense.

I don’t want that for cam as much as he’d inject some energy into this base and team right now.

another season toss into the fire after short notice isn’t something I want him to try and overcome again 

[Snake]

Why the hell we trying to win games? 

This is a strictly run the clock out situation. 

[Shocker]

Cam doesn’t want to resign here

Remember what Cam said at the end of last year:

 

Quote

"Selfishly, the question can be kind of directed towards, do you think I can play? Yes, I still do think I can play at a high level, absolutely. But if an opportunity presents itself where I don't necessarily need to play and it's about winning, yeah, I'm willing to do that, too," Newton said. "Because this point forward, I'm not coming back for no 5-12. I'll tell you that now. Winning makes everything better. So to what degree I'm willing to do -- whether being the starter or not -- if it's about winning, I'm with it. And then if it's not, then I won't hitch my wagon to it."

Even if for some reason Tepp/Fitt called, I think he'd say thanks, but no thanks.

You have to match the system to the QB. Cam couldn't run a system focused on quick short accurate passing. That isn't his game at all.

[Ghostface Chilla]

Sure bring back Cam, but not as the QB. 

 

How about Cam become a coach? I think he can do a better HC job than what we have had the last 3 seasons. No, but really I never had a thought of Cam being an HC before, and I wouldn't mind seeing the experiment happen! (not gonna happen, ever).

Maybe next off-season as a mentor. If we signed him now there's no way he wouldn't win a few.
