Wasting Cam Newton?

Have we wasted Cam Newton's prime years? Sure, we have made the playoffs 4/7 years, but he's 29 next year.  Will he still be able to run and pass into his 30s?  This is a question for the new owner.  How do we fix the offense to maximize Cam's value and success?

Thoughts?

Gee you think?

Short answer, yes. IMO when you have a franchise QB you pay a bit more focus on the offense, with the mind set it can offset a defensive let down here or there. Having to play perfect defense, and offense is not sustainable, but fueling a high caliber offense is given the game is catered to offense these days. 

Ron and the staff have an 80's mentality to football.

We need some fuging tackles before we worry about WR. Cam can work with scrub WRs, he can't survive with a scrub LT.

If you have to ask then the answer is instantly yes.

If you actually are paying attention then the answer is NO poo.

Pretty much this. Major changes need to be made for this team to win consistently and to win the Super Bowl.

My thinking is his career will follow a RB trajectory more so than a QB trajectory. It means he has 1-3 good to great seasons left.

bad oc , no line , no running game and no receivers . cam has hall of fame talent picture him on a team that can run the ball and has deep threats , were the worst offense without cam

Been preaching this for years.

The game has changed since the 1970's-1980's because the NFL has changed the damn rules.  They wanted more scoring to make the games more "exciting" to increase the ratings to increase advertising revenue, so they changed the rules to encourage pass-friendly offenses.  To SCORE faster and more often.

And our dinosaur head coach prefers time of possession to points.  And continually pounds his multi-talented QB between the tackles.

Its infuriating.

Of course we have wasted his talent, look at the o-line and receivers he has had to deal with. If you talked to any of the other 31 teams their FO would tell you the Panthers have done a terrible job of supporting Cam.

I don’t know about wasting, but here he def looks wasted...

[micnificent28]

I would say we have... No question.

Yet there’s still a ton of people posting about how we need to address multiple positions before WR...
