That's all I hear from the Pro Cam supporters who have been quick to enter every thread and bash others who even suggested that Cam wasn't all that.  Please do not cower and hide.  Where are your pitchforks now?  

Reality

That is what is missing from the Huddle.  The ebb and flow of the game is amplified x100 by the comments here.

The facts are that Cam WAS all that.  The other facts are, that injuries, for a multitude of reasons, have now made him a shell of his former self.

How people handle both truths are laughable at best.  Their hopes that he can be Superman again are only eclipsed by their venomous reactions to those who think otherwise.  Some have always been against Cam for a multitude of reasons, again, not based in reality.

Luke is the same.  He is still at a higher level than Cam, mainly because of lesser injuries, but not the same since his concussions.  Coaching has a lot to do with both declines in my opinion.  Your heroes are only gonna play for a few years, and then they have to avoid injury.  These are facts.

 

Now, these are opinions and Igo like to put all kinds of stupid emojis out here for some reason, like it can replace football discussions.  I guess if you want the entire website to be like the TB or the Smack talk, then he is on the right track.  You have to be a reactionary to fit in here.  There are probably a dozen or so people who can be level headed and talk football facts before bringing up some insult or traffic driving gimmick.

Crickets are the least of your worries around here.

I have been a Cam supporter all along, but I can also see where a franchise failed to protect there most prescious asset. His days of doing front flips over defensive tackles are most likely over.

 

You have to give the man credit for what he did with this team up until recently he was the most athletic player to ever play the position.

Unfortunately, there just isn't any real comparison to Cam Newton.  The team couldn't have known how fast his body was going to break down.  Now, they see it and trying to react but it's too little, too late.  At this point, I'd tell Cam to just go be Cam and stop worrying about trying to extend a dying career.

IMO, Luke is as good as ever. He made the changes to his playing style that Dan Morgan simply couldn't or wouldn't do. That doesn't necessarily mean he's going to play another decade, but he's given himself a fighting chance instead of still playing like an absolute wrecking ball out there.

This is a business, and players are paid well, but treated as tools to win games(at least in most cities).

There is a shelf life to most players and coaching, as I mentioned above, has a lot to do with a players shelf life.

CMC is the next guy on the list to soon have his shelf life shortened.  He is exciting and in a bad season, gives fans something to cheer about.

Good teams will think about their next season, others just want to drive fans short term interest.

The Panthers don't often shut down players unless forced to.  Cam should have been shut down several times, but nope, he was the player people paid to see, so they trotted him back out there.  And now....

There will be lots of amateur and professional pieces of poos who will relish in the downfall of a broken Cam Newton as if this is some “HAHA I TOLD YOU SO” moment. They are easy to spot. Best to ignore. You can’t reason with morons.

Cam was the best player on the field last night so if he's done then just pull the shutters for the team

I did get called a racist bigot in another thread because I said Cam didn't have the same level of throwing ability he used to

I had same problem. The ones calling some of us racist just because you talk about a players lack of abilities when playing a game and they need to step it up you will get labeled.  These are the ones that don't have any clue how to think a comment through before posting it and making ignorant irrelevant replies that have nothing to do with the comment made.
