Bring Cam back for playoff run?

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.

    • I mean, poster also said Young or Mahomes, it would have made no difference.  If there was way to actually test that hypothetical, I would sell every belonging I have and wager that Mahomes would indeed yield different results.  Mahomes automatically changes the D coverages.  He automatically changes the threats.  He attacks and threatens a field different vastly different.   We have seen good QBs and great QBs play behind horrific OLs in a single season....and they don't default into being the worst team in the NFL.  Frank Reich was old, stubborn and not creative enough to deal with an anomaly QB like Bryce.  The best QB in the NFL wouldn't be handicapping Frank, they would be enhancing Frank.  Starting week 1, Frank didn't even trust Bryce with basics....Frank gave him I what I feel comfortable with you being able to do offense.  Which took throws and plays off the table because Bryce couldn't do early on what a bad vet in Dalton could.  Mahomes would not yield the same results. 
    • All I have to say to this really, is it sounds nice and downgrades Stroud to make Young look better is more like what this take does. Look at the WR numbers the year before and then the year with Stroud. He made them better, not the other way around. That’s my opinion. I appreciate you designating that it was yours. Many state these things as facts.
    • but what if.....and here me out....the pro Bryce Young stuff was coming from people under Fitterer.  You know, the people who are employed to feed him that input.  And they happen to all still be employed here.  when Rhule was fired I desperately wanted Fitterer fired.  It set things up for Fitterer to be the sacrificial lamb the next time things went poorly....every time we move on from a disaster, we are retaining a heavy % of the folks who helped bring the disaster we are "moving on from".  Everyone argued Fitterer probably could be great and it was all Rhule.  We are just repeating the same stuff to a degree IMO.   Panthers needed a clean slate post Rhule era.  Needed another post Frank era.  Things were just too bad or too dysfunctional IMO to be salvaging so much.   We keep failing to do that.
