Cam Newton on First Take

Recommended Posts

What do you guys think about this? Have you watched him on this show?  He sounds a bit unrefined for live TV, but he's got a great "keeping it 💯 " sort of vibe and made some great points in little time I watched him.

Its a little surreal to see him as an analyst on TV.  It's kinda hard to believe he never got another shot to be QB. 

I've been following his podcast/YouTube show a bit. I'm glad he found some other way to still be involved with football even tho seemingly he's unofficially retired .

Cam was never the greatest public speaker. As you said he speaks well enough to get his point, but he does have some cringe moments.

 

ESPN is looking for hot takes and Cam will be fine in that area. I like Cam because he's a Carolina Panther. He's in Charlotte this weekend doing an event. The guy still bleeds Carolina.

 

I would love to see him debate that lady from ESPN who tried to shame him on Nat'l tv I think her name is Kimberly Martin. That would be hilarious.

He doesn't really have the arm to keep up with a full season and he's just too big of a presence for a backup role. 

that said...i do miss him being our QB and i will forever hate the refs, broncos, and TJ Watt for the damage done to him.

nods sadly

Also kelvin benjamin for literally giving up on the route and subsequent pick 6 in which Cam injured his shoulder

When you think about it: Cam is 35. If he never hurts that shoulder he is probably still our QB. 

Ah who am I kidding Rhule would have cut him because he was a sniveling coward and scared Cam would be a bigger presence in the locker room

Probably not wrong. Rhule wanted his college posse and nothing but a bunch of his type of spineless tools who would revere him like ted lasso.

It's very easy to point the finger elsewhere, but the Panthers bear a LOT of the blame for Cam's abbreviated career. We never adequately attempted (or attempted at all, really) to build an offensive line around Cam. We're still dealing with the aftershocks of that decisions now, because our line has been a liability for going on a decade now.

He's entertaining. Him and Shannon can be pretty hilarious when they start cutting up.

What's nice is they all seem to be having more fun now without Skip making things awkward with his racist dogwhistling. It's more like the NBA on TNT crew now which fits First Take better than treating it like serious analysis.

Skip killed his own career sadly. Dude would come to work spiked off the diet Mtn Dew causing hell in the workplace. People forget he ran off 2 women before the Shannon stuff. He was always making things awkward with his coworkers.

Watching Shannon get under Skips skin was one of the most entertaining things ever to me.  I understand why Shannon left, but it was a sad day for me.

Skip Bayless lol. He is smarm in a sports coat. Just can't take him. The adversarial concept of 'you argue this and I'll argue against you and we'll say outrageous poo to get attention', I cannot be complimentary to that toxic poo - I better not start. Oops.

Skip was okay was writing for the Dallas paper, and I only say that because I never used to read the Dallas papers.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
