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.

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      I’m honestly not trying to argue with you or talk bad about Scourton, I like him and I’ve watched all of his Purdue stuff/videos you linked previously. Just like I’ve watched all of Princely’s Florida stuff I’m only pointing out the weight thing because I’m excited about the idea of him being 255-260 and being more of a stand up edge here in Carolina like he was at Purdue versus at A&M And like you, I have a crap load of experience doing the whole cutting/weight/fitness thing and I know how crappy/sluggish I feel when I’m holding as little as an extra 8-10lbs of unnecessary weight. So for Scourton to come out and say he’s 255-260 now and feels good that’s exciting based on what he’s put on film at 280 and not feeling his best

      2024 College Football Thread

      I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game. They've created a nearly unending list of "what ifs". Hell, every HS, college, and pro team out there has a long list of them. It's also a good reminder that there's no such thing as a routine major injury. Even though sports medicine has improved dramatically in recent decades, major injuries are still somewhat of a coin flip on how a guy is going to emerge from it.

      I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
