Cam Newton: Carolina Panthers' season not 'a wash'

Newton rolled out of the gate as a rookie in 2011, playing off of raw instinct to torch opponents and reset expectations for what a first-year quarterback could accomplish. Year two has seen increased indecision in the pocket and a lack of chemistry between Newton and his targets. He's appeared mortal, and so have the Panthers, but Newton hasn't lost hope ahead of Sunday's game against the Dallas Cowboys.

"I think it's a big challenge for everybody to see what we can do because everything is still possible," Newton told The Charlotte Observer. "The season is far (from) a wash. It's time for us to prove it. There's a lot of expectations going into this season. And for us to get the vibe going, and pick up the vibe for this whole season, it's just going to have to start this game."

Lets get it Cam... The time is now, and we have to cease (edit: seize) the moment. I'm looking forward to seeing how we respond to injuries and a lackluster start to the season.

We knew that the first 5 weeks would be crucial when the schedule came out. Now it's time to see if we can bounce back and make history, or continue to falter... At 1 o' clock Sunday afternoon we'll see exactly where we're headed. With no expectations, I think I'm setting myself up to be surprised, one way or another.

I think "cease-ing the moment" is what we have been doing so far this year. What we probably want to do now is "seize the moment".

Sorry, couldn't resist.

Alright alright I messed up.... I used the wrong "cease" it should have been seize...

We have definitely been known to cease up though... Lol

      Bryce’s new look. He looks like a grown up

      By SCO96 · Posted

      I feel the same way. Bryce hasn't proven himself to be so good that he would clearly lap anyone that we'd bring in the compete for the starting job. I think the team is actually afraid to do that. If Bryce goes down does anyone think Kenny Pickett is solid option to replace him?. We can control him for 2026 and 2027. The problem is 2028. Unless he takes a massive leap forward ability wise, I don't see how Carolina can justify paying B.Y. $50 million a year. So far, Bryce has not shown that he can CONSISTENTLY carry a team. He needs to be carried by a strong offensive line, running game, pass catchers and a respectable defense. If he's lacking any of those things I don't think we can make the playoffs in 2026/2027 unless the NFC South is as bad (or worse) than 2025. Unfortunately, athletes and agents have EGOs! When he has a chance for a 2nd contract his management team will probably insist on a "market deal" and feel insulted if they don't get one. That leaves a couple of options if his play hasn't significantly improved. 1) Let him walk and test the market. 2) Franchise him for the 2028 season if you're still not sure about what to do. 3) Extend him to a team friendly deal that pays him below the "current market" which would allow the team to continue to build a solid team to support him. 4) Over pay him and pretty much ruin any chance of becoming a consistent contender. The last option is the LEAST DESIRABLE ONE. The 2026 season is a pivotal season for Bryce and the Carolina Panthers. The success of the next 5-7 years could ultimately be decided on how well plays the next 2 seasons.

      Drake Maye ended up putting almost 300 on them lol. Bryce was stunned from the beginning to end. I know that's an easy comp for the Bryce truthers but no one else put up those puny QB stats against them all season long.
