They didn't ruin him. He was mediocre before and he will be again. Sam was mediocre before and will be again. Cam became a tackling dummy and was bound to get hurt with his style of playing. 

The organization is guilty of not having a decent line and JAG wide outs for most of his career. The other two guys had a sh*t track record before they got here.

The Curse of Cam

Having him get destroyed for years and drafting WNBA players like Kelvin Benjamin and not O-linemen put a karma hex on this franchise.

Cam’s oline actually ranked average his whole career. And at one point he had almost two 1k rushers and two 1k receivers (considering TE).

Cam was wasted due to dumb coaching that’s the argument.

Only this franchise could have ruined him. Good on him. The Charlotte browns remain trash. Bryce young also looks bored in the pocket. Even stroud put up numbers today, he still a bust though. Wonder if we can get a first for burns at the deadline

Yeah, talking about what a franchise or fans "deserve" is silly in general. But as far as Newton, pretty much nobody associated with his career even works here anymore, so I don't know who's supposed to "deserve" anything.

I'm in my feels, Scot.  Had we took care of him, he would likely still be in his prime, slinging deep balls 70 yards with the flick of a wrist while being the most dangerous and dynamic goalline back the game has ever seen.

Instead, we put ourselves in purgatory for almost 5 years now and still don't know what we might have in the rookie we just drafted, when all we had to do was not fug up the proven talent we had in Cam.  It sucks.

Fans deserve it? What the fug are you saying?

Really just a figure of speech and it pisses me off when I think about how badly we wasted Cam's career and that window (with Luke as well).

And tbh, some fans do deserve it...  there were plenty of people willing to die on Gettleman's Hill, singing his praises.  He is literally almost single-handedly the reason Cam's career ended the way it did.  And yeah, that pisses me off too.

Your timeline is way off, dude. Gettleman was fired in 2017. Newton was still around until Rhule was hired.

No real guarantee of that given Newton's playing style.

Nor does it really matter anymore. And no, it doesn't mean anybody "deserves" to suffer for it.

This is football, not justice.

    • Brandt's comment about Wharton was from his KC perspective when Wharton was a UDFA rookie.   "it goes back to the anecdote that Brandt Tillis had when he was in Kansas City. And it would be so easy to just cut Turk Wharton in 2020 when he was an undrafted rookie from a division two college in Missouri. It would been so easy to cut him because then he would have cleared waivers easily. No one knew this guy. They didn't have any joint practices, didn't have a preseason. Would have been so easy to cut him and bring him back on the practice squad and let him continue to build from there. And Brandt essentially said, "No, he's got to make the 53man roster if we're going to have any sort sense of credibility with this team."    
    • Plenty of us were scratching our heads about that signing at the time. Especially with our 3-4 defense. Wharton is kind of a one trick pony situational five tech DT. He doesn't have the beef to hold up against the run and he doesn't have the juice to shift outside. He's basically a situational pass rusher DT. If we paid him $40M+ and he can't start for a historically inept defense then holy poo...
    • Agreed.  300 and 2 or 3 total in Jacksonville in a winning effort would sure be a nice start.
