Put Cam Back On the Cover of NFL: The Magazine!

I've already contacted Kevin LaForce (the VP in charge of the mag) and Roger Goodell through email, and LaForce is supposed to return my phone call later today. Be courteous, but insistent.

The petition doesn't mention Cam because getting rid of The Golden Calf of Bristol will be impetus enough to put Cam back on it, hopefully.

I care about this greatly because I ordered a two-year subscription based on receiving a collectors' edition of the inaugural issue with Cam on the cover, and this bait-and-switch infuriated me.

Please stop.

Look, we have a player who we hope will develop into a franchise star, one of those guys we can always look to other teams and say "Cam Newton was a Panther," much like our own Steve Smith. He's already getting dogged by people wanting to gift Dalton the RoTY, posters up here who would rather have the backup QB from Miami, and a media ready to prop The Golden Calf of Bristol up one day just so they can blow him up the next.

Cam will be in this league years after The Golden Calf of Bristol is off building orphanages in the third world and maybe one day getting laid. The Golden Calf of Bristol's a great person, terrible QB, and this honor was given to Cam before being unceremoniously taken away to someone who isn't even the best player on his own team, or the most responsible for their current win streak.

If they put Von Miller instead of Cam on the cover I would have had far less of a problem, but The Golden Calf of Bristol deserves nothing more than five million reps with a hanging tire and a football.

    • It probably would be. Given that most 6th and 7th rounders aren't NFL game day material except on the Panthers, the pick might improve us slightly with a drafted player, but I'd like to see us actually be able to open up the field. I do think some of our offensive problem stem from defenses aren't afraid of Bryce's arm. They cover a short field and that makes life a lot easier for them.  If it doesn't work though, unless we get rid of the scouting department and whatever drafting algorithm Dave is making us use, it won't really matter anyway. 
    • I think the Baker/Darnold thing has been overblown. QBs that struggle with the team that drafts them and go on to find success elsewhere often do end up going to multiple new teams before they figure it out and/or find the right situation. It just so happened that we traded for both guys in back-to-back years and neither player had quite figured it out yet. Baker, I think, needed more time and a better supporting cast. Darnold, I think, benefitted from a year on the bench in San Francisco a ton. I don't really have any ill will towards either of them. I think they both came here with the best intentions after coming from difficult circumstances; unfortunately the Panthers were - and still are, it seems - also in the process of figuring things out.
    • At this point this is all I want from this team. I'm done hoping for wins. I just want to see a competitive team for 4 quarters. Come out of the gate hard and don't give up no matter the score.
