Cam Newton says being "erased" by panthers has hurt his feelings..

Heck, if the Panthers were smart….they would just steal Cam essentially and morph him into their social media/marketing.    Cam actually had a good idea.  What Panther fan wouldn’t like the Luke and Cam pod episode.  Or Gregg. Current players.   Some silly stuff too.

I mean, now that you mention it….it is sort of is weird you invite Luke, TD, 89, Stew, etc to Germany…..and not Cam.   

and Cam probably would have been the biggest salesman of the bunch 

Smitty doesn't like Cam. Smitty is probably the closest former Panthers player to Tepper. 

 

It's not hard to figure out why he wasn't invited.

Let me ask, because I haven't taken the time to learn everything about this:

Aren't these ex players in question involved with the team this season? TD is on Panthers Huddle, Jake does the broadcasts, etc etc.

I don't know who does what but it mostly looks like is the legend types that are visible at team functions, on the payroll, and so on.

Cam is trying to fry bigger fish and for whatever reason isn't involved. Without getting into the 'whys' of the Cam/Panthers discord, this doesn't look like some sort of pointed exclusion.

Molehill or mountain? Leaning molehill.

It’s going to be bananas at the stadium, in the city, in the Carolina’s when Cams number is retired, and he comes back to bang that drum. Can you imagine his energy. 
 

Tepper still has that in his back pocket I hope. I, personally, can’t wait until he comes back. The Cam era was the best era in our short history. He’s the best QB to ever Don a Panthers jersey. He is the most famous Panther as well

It's important to remember that these stories have two sides, and Cam is now a member of the media. I recall when he complained about not being invited to CMC's wedding, and later CMC mentioned that they hadn't spoken in years.

This board takes every negative story and points to it as if it's the issue with the Panthers.

Yea the one thing I noticed is he mentioned they said he needed to mend relationships he didn't know were broke, so I think there is a little more to it.  Hopefully they get it figured out.

I didn't read all 5 pages of responses but what I read is that Cam is still a free agent because he didn't sign his retirement papers. So taking him to Germany would be tampering. Retire and then see what happens. You can't go into the panther hall of fame if you are still eligible to play.

    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly. 
    • Its a good article about how pathetically bad our past drafts ('23 and '24) have been. Building the team in '23 since we weren't ready yet and taking your qb in '24 made so much more sense in hindsight. Ladd McConkey over XL is pretty much a given but not sure it does as much to change Bryce's trajectory as the author suggests.  As bad as '23 and '24 drafts were, the '25 and '26 really give me hope.
