Somehow Cam is still a Top 100 player. Gets ranked 44th in NFL Top 100.

Had an underrated season. NFL Players understand the situation Cam was in with his o-line and wide receivers, and know he's still a threat.

Not surprised of his drop, but understand why he's even still on the list. People are giving him a second chance, because they know that Cam is better than what 2016 suggested.

In all seriousness. Other players see Cam Newton out there sacrificing his body to make plays for the team. Even if you might not like his personality, you have to respect his dedication, and his warrior mentality on the field. This speaks volumes, and is a direct shot across the bow to the dipshit naysayers.

Yeah, great QB, bad year with a lot of injuries and slow ass WRs with the exception of Ted Butterfingers Ginn Jr . Most of the players in the league aren't idiots and know there's various reasons why the team wasn't as successful this season as opposed to 2015. 

This year Cam has the weapons, the speed, and the team has the vets on defense sorely lacking last year. It's going to mostly come down to people staying healthy and whether Kalil and whoever ends up being our starting RT is good or not.

      Would you trade Ickey

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
