Saw what Newton was made of today


Recommended Posts

With it all on the line, all the pressure in the world he pushed his chips to the middle. Dude showed up. A lot of people should eat a poo sandwich talking about our QB like that.

That's what made me sick about today. Cam had them. Had them beat. But a QB in this league cannot become a great with a sad sack coaching staff and makeshift D. It takes a lot for the stars to align.

The kid played unreal. Just a shame. This was Cleveland Browns style of loser

People are quick to forget that he fumbled when he had the 1st down to seal the game against the back of his own player.

The panthers still got the ball back, there are no guarantees that another quarterback would have gotten the first down. Rivera should of went for the first down plain and simple.

It's absolutely mind boggling to me that we did not go for it on 4th with some combo of Cam, Stew, and/or Tolbert.

Just mind blowing.

Cam can get a yard by bending over to tie his shoe. He did all he could today, but again, our coaching staff shined through with their genius and wasted it.

    • TBH, these are the kind of players that get weeded out of professional sports pretty quickly. Also, CMC is not that guy. There is zero indication that he isn't competitive. 
    • I like the free agency. It actually helps basically all schools across the board. Pretty much only ancient HC's and/or HC's that haven't been able to adjust have been complaining about the free agency. Your fortunes can be made or broken every offseason. It's not like before where a bad recruiting class or two meant multiyear purgatory.  I will never understand all the bellyaching about the NIL. If you want to talk about what ruined college athletics, it has been naked greed. Conference expansions for TV revenue, ever skyrocketing AD and facilities costs and now the attempts to permanently ruin the postseasons(football and basketball).  All the kids did was get a very well deserved piece of a very, very, VERY broken pie.
    • Nobody is saying they don't count against the cap, because yes, they technically do count against the cap as it's money the team is paying and it needs to be accounted for. But what you're not grasping it seems is that if a player gets $10 million guaranteed in their contract, whether they get literally $0 as a signing bonus or $8 million as a signing bonus, it doesn't change the overall cap hit of the contract, because cap hits are about the guaranteed money, not how much is paid up front. The only thing that how much is paid up front changes, is how the cap hit can be spread out amongst the years. So yes, technically there could end up being a slightly bigger cap hit in year 3 and 4 due to a bigger signing bonus, but if that is the case, it also means there will be a lesser cap hit in years 1 and 2 than there would have been with a smaller bonus.  But over the length of the contract, the size of the signing bonus has literally zero affect on the overall cap hit of the contract, because THAT part of it is 100% about the guaranteed money and nothing else.
