Final play is the exact reason you don't trade Cam Newton

Cam Newton at the 3 yard line: are you confident he scores a touchdown? There's not one time where I didn't have faith in Cam to bring us back at the end of a game. You can't trade the man if he is healthy, there's not one thing that you could tell me where I don't think he scores.

Kyle Allen is a fantastic backup quarterback, but that's all he is. Supporting him for the rest of the year, but Cam Newton is still the only way this team wins a super bowl.

I agree 100% these are the games your quarterback has to find a way to win. Any version of Cam that's not on one leg wins that game and no one can tell me differently. They will say heyhes young kyle is 24 and he played his ass off. This was a loss that should have been a win.

This is ridiculous...……...yeah Allen fell short a couple times because he could not run where Cam used to be able to do...………..but would have Cam played such a controlled heads up pocket passing game to even get them in position for Cam to be Cam?

I say old Cam in this game would have lost too...…….but probably sooner than the last play.

That stated I'm not sticking up for Allen either but he didn't look too bad out there today.

You mean the 2015 Cam! We haven’t had the 2015 Cam since...well...2015.  The new Cam has like 2 yards rushing in 11 attempts.  Kyle Allen has more rushing yards in today’s game then Cam has had in 2 years!!!  Let that sink in

We had 2015 Cam last year before injury. Honestly better than 2015.

Cam and that last play is why you trade everything for Joe Burrow

    • Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist
    • Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.
    • Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
