If the Panther's let Cam Newton go

I’d be highly disappointed if we gave in to this weird media crucifixion of Cam.

just do what’s best for the team in the end, we saw this similar narrative with lebron after he got hurt his first time in 14 seasons. 
 

hopefully tepper and gang block out the noise and make rational decisions

No matter what?

I can't speak for Igo, but it'd take way more than parting with a player I like to get me to move on.

The Richardson scandal was way worse than this, but the team handled it the right way. If they hadn't, that was the kind of thing that I could have seen making me ditch my loyalty.

Not this.

This is just football. I've seen it happen numerous times all around the league. Probably won't be the last time it happens with us.

Yes, by all accounts this team is going to suck next year either Kyle Allen or Will Grier will be leading the tank. Unless you think we’re winning anything worth a poo next year. 
 

lol at the rest of your post, I have not posted anything that would suggest I’m particularly bent out of shape because Cam returning this year is unlikely. You getting offended because I mentioned a very real possibility that this team is going full blown rebuild after letting Cam and numerous 1-year rentals go this off-season is your insecurities jumping out. Not mine.

What evidence supports your claim we will be in full blown tank mode next year? 

I see a potential MVP running behind a very promising and young Oline with two playmaker WRs.

And I see a young set of edge rushers leading the NFL in sacks, with a talented LB core led by an all time great and a quickly emerging Shaq with two very good CBs holding down the outside. They are currently 5-1 in their last 6 games.

So maybe you are just projecting your insecurities on to the team. Because right now they have literally been proving you wrong lol

and he is actually healthy and able to play.  I might be done with this team.  And you can check my post history. I am not reactionary or dramatic, and I have been a fan since the days of home games at Clemson. 

This staff ran him into the ground, allowed him to play injured, and threw him under the bus whenever they needed a scape goat.  

I know you are all going to say, "I am a fan of the team, not one player". I get it, I used to say the same thing, but this move (if he gets healthy) would show that we wouldn't stand by our guy, who literarily gave it his all. Every. Single. Game.  Thomas Davis tore his fuging ACL 3 times and we stayed with him.  

We failed him. And then abandon him after two weird injury seasons.  Poo me all you want, but this will have some bad karma, 

I agree for the most part. Cam was ahead of his time here. The FO and fan base took him for granted. I do think Cam does share some criticism and at times has looked complacent in his game but has always been an underrated player and person for us.   Really hope we give him one more shot at full strength.

Sad thing is, if that was to happen a lot of these "fans" would be happy about it.

I'm not gonna feel bad if we win without Cam Newton.

I'm not gonna feel bad if we win without Christian McCaffrey.

I'm not gonna feel bad if we win without Luke Kuechly, Greg Olsen, James Bradberry, Shaq Thompson or pretty much anybody else.

I wish all of those guys the best, but the bottom line is I want to see the Panthers win. Who they do that with isn't really a big priority to me.

    • I love when people go after his YAC ability as if he wasn't 5th in the Big 12 this past season in YAC, because he was. And you can say his style of YAC doesn't mesh with this type of game, but that on its face is just nonsense, because if he's good enough to be 5th in a major conference, it clearly meshes well with his game. The reason you say it doesn't, is because you think all he is good at is making contested catches because of his radius, but because you haven't watched enough of his full tape, you don't realize that he's consistently used in the screen and short slant game to get the ball in his hands because he actually is a solid YAC guy because he's surprisingly agile for a player of his size.   No, he's no Tyreek, but he has more than enough wiggle to his game that you combine it with everything he does at an elite level because of his size, and it makes for a guy who is going to be a consistent 1k yard and 10+ TD player.  He can be the true outside #1 that we need, but he's also versatile enough to be moved into the slot at times to scheme the ball into his hands against smaller nickel corners or slower linebackers. He's a slightly less physical Mike Evans but with more agility, my comp was always AJ Green.  He's going to be an elite #1 WR in this league for the next decade, if he's there and we pass on him to trade down for another WR, we will regret it for a long time.
    • Here is my theory--The Giants are not 100% happy with their pass rush--15 sacks combined between Thib (6) and Burns (9).  In 2026, The Giants will have to make a choice about Thib.  They would then have 2 Edge rushers on second contracts--probably costing around $65m for both.  Many teams want edge players; draft Carter and trade Thib.  Carter's second contract would be due when Burns' contract expires.  In essence, the Giants would have better Edge rushers at a cost of about $40m.  You could probably get a high draft pick for Thib and save $25m. All that to say, "I don't think they are set at edge yet."
    • I think we should, start new for the playoffs if everyone’s game.
