Even if he sucks, it's gonna be hard not to like him

Newton’s focus right now is not on money, but rather proving to his teammates he's the right guy to lead this team.

He already has veteran wide receiver Steve Smith convinced he has the skills to play.

When asked what he thinks of the 6-foot-5, 248-pound kid quarterback, Smith simply replied, “Rave reviews.”

The two worked out several times before the start of training camp and got to know each other on a personal basis. They often exchange text messages. And while Smith ultimately said he chose to stay because that’s what his family wanted, some close to him say Newton’s presence ultimately convinced him to stay in Carolina.

“Man, I don’t know what I did, but it worked,” Newton said, flashing that million-dollar smile. “I was going to have to call all of the fire marshals in the state of North Carolina before he was going to get out of here.”

      I honestly don’t think he ever will change.  He couldn’t punch his way out of this wet paper bag he created with scissors in his hands.  I think back to the early takes on Jimmy Haslem, the Browns owner.  For that first few years, he couldn’t get out of his own way.  Same poo.  The fans were miserable and were worried he was exactly who David Tepper is now…  and then Haslem took a step back.  He hired football guys and let them make the decisions.  And something clicked…  now, they’ve done some really dumbass stuff since, but they started drafting some gems, developing them, and even went to the playoffs a few years.  Led by Baker, they came damn close for beating the Chiefs in the playoffs.  But I could never see Tepper doing any of that.  He is so damn egotistical and stubborn.  Haslem wasn’t pulling up to restaurants and demanding people change critical signs of him.  Haslem wasn’t throwing drinks on the poors heckling him.  Haslem wasn’t getting in broadcasts with his poo eating grin and calling fans basement dwellers.  He was willing to take a step back and learn.  At minimum, Tepper should’ve been at that stage two or three years in.  And then he forces the Bryce pick.  And then he makes us see it through for a minimum of three years.  It’s clear he still thinks he knows more than anyone else…  and for that reason, this will not turn around under Tepper.  Our only hope is he sells, and he won’t.  He would move the team before he had to sell it just to stick it to this fanbase for telling him about himself.  He’s a fuging douche.  And sadly, because all of the decisions have been and will be so bad from too top to bottom, we won’t ever even accidentally back into the playoffs because we will never have the talent or coaching.  It is fuging groundhogs day for misery as a Panthers fan.

      We’ve been having a bad day since 2018.  It’s time to bring the paper bags out.
