Panthers’ Gettleman publicly reiterates support for Newton

[jtnc]

From the Senior Bowl

The third-year GM won’t get into contract specifics, but Wednesday he told the Observer he believes Newton’s long-term future will be in Charlotte.

“We want him here. I want him here,” Gettleman said from a hotel lobby during the week of the Senior Bowl. “The contract, in its time, will take place. I’m not going to get into the when, where, why and how of the contract. But we believe in Cam. He’s our franchise quarterback.

“What I feel confident of is, in time, something will happen. He’s our franchise quarterback. I want him here.”

OMG WTF IS THAT

This is actually a good thing for the panthers. Some people won't be able to see that.

I think Cam is going to grow A LOT as a QB the next two seasons. His first offseason the was a lockout and he literally only had a play book to study, the second he went back to school, and the third he was off the field with his ankle. this offseason and next he will be progressing.

They had negotiations last offseason.  They took a break in November so Cam could concentrate on football.  Sounds like they are close just a matter of couple of issues.

And still only had one year of big time college football, in a spread system at that. So, so scary for the other 31.

But does Cam publically reiterate support for Gettleman? I would think Cam's best option would be to play for Chip Kelly, no? Cards too if they are for real. People say Rams would be killer with a QB. Heck, some people here even say Cam would be better with the Titans.

Not surprised. Good.

Cam has given indications many times that he wants to stay with the Panthers. I don't know of a QB who has forced his way out even after his GM said he wanted him to stay. Cam like rivera, likes his teammates and as long as this team continues to get better I don't see why he would leave.

Why wouldn't Cam want to play for Chip Kelly?

Why not give it a rest.
