How many Super Bowls do YOU think Cam will win?

Recommended Posts

I've wanted to start this topic for some time, but after reading the NFL.com article which believes we're "next up" of the 14 franchises to win their first Super Bowl, the Cbssports article that mentions the words "dynasty" and "football god" when describing our team and quarterback, and considering we're at the height of the summer doldrums, I figured there was no better time than now.

Honestly? I say five. Cameron Jerrell Newton was born on May 11, 1989, and I don't believe it's any stretch to say he'll play 15 more years, with the outside chance he plays at age 38, 39, or 40+ to give him an additional year or more (years I'm not even including). Even if he only plays 15 years, I believe it is extremely probable to think he'll average one Super Bowl title every three years. I believe everyone can see he has the potential to be the greatest of all time (with all due respect to the greatest of all time), and therefore I do believe he will have more than Joe Montana. I have him one short of the six that Michael Jordan has in basketball, due to the obvious differences in football and basketball. Although, Jordan himself could have had an additional title or two had he not taken his baseball hiatus.

Clearly, we are GOING to be in the mix over the next 15 years, and I want to win every year, but due to injuries, personnel, breaks, etc., I believe it breaks down as follows-(we win one in the next four years (with Smitty!) when Cam is 23-26,, we win three in the six year span when Cam is 27-32, and we win one more in the five year span when Cam is 33-37. JMO.

Fun to think about if nothing else. Honest thoughts?

15 years for a QB that puts himself in danger almost every game???  No way, man. He will bring the ring to CLT, but how many times depends upon his ability to pass and slide.

How many hard hits did Cam take the entire season? I can count maybe six off the top of my head. The kid has sliding down to an art.

The panthers? or just cam? Hell peyton only got 1 and he is considered by most to be top 5 of all time...

Love Peyton, and that's a fact, but Tennessee won the national title the year after he left. Auburn lost five the year before and the year after Cam, after not winning a national title since 1957. Cam can also do things on a football field no Manning could do in their dreams. Peyton could have/would have/should have won more than one as well. Those that say Cam will only win one sound sillier than those that say five. Our man is going to transcend football folks.

    • Sure, there's definitely a chance that a fire sale in 2022 could've paid off but I don't think that's a certainty. It's not just about stockpiling the picks and bettering odds; it's about hitting on those picks, having a stable coaching staff to develop them, and keeping the locker room engaged. We didn't exactly have a model front office nor stable coaching staff in 2022. It's worth noting that part of the reason that DJ had to be included in the trade up for #1 was because the Bears needed an immediate, proven WR1 to help Fields. It was him or another immediate first-round pick, not a future one like what was being offered for Burns (whom teams knew that things were shaky with and that they could afford to wait). As for the Eagles, they recovered because the foundation was already in place. Pederson got flak and was ultimately fired (and was just fired again this offseason from the Jags). Their recovery was quick because the foundation was already in place: Howie Roseman and a solid roster (that included a stacked OL, a second year QB, and a veteran defense). Philly had a margin of error that just wasn't available to Carolina. I'm not against using the draft to rebuild, but a full-on teardown comes with real consequences: fan disengagement, a fractured locker room, poor development, a losing environment... and I don't believe that we had the necessary leadership at the time to cleanly navigate it. That's a gamble that I want no part of.  Now that we do have a staff that seems to be in complete alignment and building for the future rather than fighting for their jobs, I'm more inclined to observe their process and see where it leads rather than backseat driving with "perfect" hindsight. 
    • I see it a bit differently considering there is only 20M in cap space. Given how many of the premium positions are on rookie contracts their cap should not be nearly maxed out. Tillis still has a lot of work to do before these rookies will need a second contract.
