I love Cam.  But he is only a backup at best.  Plus it will cause drama in all directions from people trying to get him out there when our QB slips up.  It would make it a circus more than anything else.  But...ticket sales and viewership would skyrocket if he were to start.

Would definitely bring back the buzz around Charlotte and get the fans to show up to the games.

Don't give a flying sh-t about any of that stuff.

The only reason you sign any football player is to help you win games.

I'm not convinced Cam Newton suits that role right now.

Perhaps, but I prefer to think like a coach.

If you're looking to sign somebody because they would sell tickets, you're thinking like an accountant.

Accountants don't coach winning football.

Have you ever coached sports at any level? 

I have.

But we're all on this board for different reasons and I'm just enjoying being a irrational fan at the moment while I work.

Were you not watching last year when we did exactly this? It brought people back for about 1 game then we kept losing and it deflated the whole thing. It wouldn't even go half as well as it did last year, and that's a low bar. Doing it again would make it feel even more like a gimmick.

I can't fathom how this is even still an idea in people's heads.

Yep, I was at that game when Cam returned. Had a blast even though we lost.

      possible ILB just became available

      I hate to burst anyones bubble but this guy played 188 total defensive snaps in three years but 802 special teams snaps. If we do kick the tires, it's probably gonna be for that latter part.

      I do believe that Evero gets canned before the end of the season and Capers takes over the D. I think the stage is set for Evero to fall on the sword for a 4-7 win season.  Not saying it would be a set up but I do think if that transpires, the seat under DC might start getting pretty warm, rightly or wrongly. That's my read on Tepper. I am not at all excited nor am I dreading anything. I just have extremely low expectations so I am just waiting to see what this revision of the roster looks like.  I FEEL like we are better on paper than last season's team but I wouldn't be remotely shocked if we were as bad or worse. Again, I do think this is the 2nd worst roster in franchise history overall. What will really make me happy is for some of the big questions to finally be answered(Bryce, Ikey, Horn, etc). I would like to see a real expansion of our core player pool(basically just D. Brown currently). I want to see a couple of hits in free agency and a couple in the draft. If we accomplish those things, I have faith that we are at least moving in the right direction after many, many years doing the opposite.

      Considering our depth. Certainly kick the tires.
