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.

      2026 OL prospects

      By Icege · Posted

      With two starters on expiring contracts (Moton + Corbett) as well as a few back-ups (Christensen, Mays, and Nijman), the Panthers are likely going to have to reinvest in the OL after this coming season. Icky's fifth-year option was picked up by the team this offseason while Lewis and Hunt both remain under contract then (though Lewis' deal is set-up in a way that would let Carolina move on from him then as well). I think that the team is going to be looking at investing a premium pick at RT should Bryce's development continue, and might even look to double dip at the position in order to have a swing tackle that can also kick inside when needed. There's also the question of starting center... Prospects I'm watching this upcoming college season... Centers Jake Slaughter (Florida) Iapani Laloulu (Oregon) Connor Lew (Auburn) Logan Jones (Iowa) Parker Brailsford (Alabama) Connor Tollison (Missouri) Bryce Foster (Kentucky) Pat Coogan Notre Dame) Raheem Anderson (Michigan) Carson Hinzman (Ohio State) RTs Francis Mauigoa (Miami) Kadyn Proctor (Alabama) Spencer Fano (Utah) Gennings Dunker (Iowa) Blake Miller (Clemson) Isaiah World (Oregon) Caleb Tiernan (Northwestern) Monroe Feeling (Georgia) Earnest Greene III (Georgia) Monroe Mills (Louisville) Charles Jagusah (Notre Dame) Tree Babalade (South Carolina) Trey Zuhn III (Texas A&M) Nolan Rucci (Penn State) Tristan Leigh (Clemson) Fernando Carmona (Arkansas) JC Davis (Illinois) Riley Mahlman (Wisconsin) PJ Williams (SMU) Tosh Baker (Notre Dame) Aki Ogunbiyi (Texas A&M) Courtland Ford (Kentucky) Ethan Onianwa (Rice)

      I watched documentary on the 2010 Auburn season and Cam wasn’t included in that either. I think he just doesn’t care for these things
