Uh, any analytics of Chudzinski as a head coach would factor in his time in Cleveland.

Either way, there are no analytics available that are going to put Rob Chudzinski ahead of Josh McDaniels or Greg Roman.

Chud got shafted. Was it like only 1yr?!? How can you base any long term statistic on that. Before that he had Cam Newton performing at HOF levels now he has head coaching experience. Yes.

Yes all day.

The analytics say he's the best coach for Cam especially or perhaps another young QB.

what analytics say that?

I wasn't sad, after his 2nd season here, to see Chud leave but agree he did get the shaft in Cleveland.

 

He is probably unemployed because he is or was collecting millions from his contract and waiting on the right situation.

None that were put together by professional NFL analysts.

Rob Chudzinski right now is not on anybody's head coaching list. Hell, nobody's even called him about an assistant job in the last two years.

i think it more had to do with the fact his offenses in Indy were pretty bad.

All it takes is for one other team to be willing to offer him more than what we're paying him or more than one year.

Keeping in mind we had a report that at least 10 teams were willing to trade for him despite his injury status earlier this year, are you absolutely positive there's not a single one out of 31 other teams that would be willing to do that?

Yeah but if they’re talking to him Before his contract is up its tampering.

and that also adds to my point that if you have teams lining up like that to sign him, that’s more evidence to my point. You don’t let franchise QB’s go unless there is nothing left.

Or you think the other teams are wrong. and it's worth noting that we're in a position to know more than any of them.

Bottom line here though is that it doesn't  ultimately matter whether other teams are willing to make an offer or not. If Newton says "I won't play without an extension" and the Panthers say "we're not giving you an extension", then I seriously doubt the Panthers are going to force him to hold out or anything of that sort. They're going to trade him or let him go.

You can debate the wisdom of the move if you want, but at least for now, this is speculated to be the most likely outcome unless things change.

Newton has no leverage.  When Tepper announced that the team was in for a rebuild it took any leverage Cam had.  If Cam sits out, there will be no pressure to get him on the field.  Cam can't just sit out and become a free agent next year, that's not how NFL contracts work.  The Panthers have all the leverage.  Whether he is a Panther or not next year is up to the Panthers not Newton

What good would you actually expect to come of forcing a player who doesn't want to play onto the field? (especially if you're looking at a rebuild)

Throw in that next year's head coach is going to be somebody who doesn't have any ties to Newton. Why would he want that kind of distraction?

I get that guys are trying to come up with any kind of scenario that keeps Newton here, but you're not keeping it realistic at this point.

So Cam doesn't want to play and is a distraction? I don't understand how you came to that conclusion

I was addressing the hypothetical situation you put out there.

My own thoughts are basically what I've been told by people with inside knowledge. Newton wants an extension and the Panthers won't give him one.

Unless one side of the other gives in, they're headed for a divorce.

Cam won't have a choice but to play, and the team has to see what they have in Cam before they extend him.  I don't see it as a distraction and Cam will play to the best of his ability always.

Cam needs to drop the vegan poo. You get stronger and faster is the goal.
