Bieniemy interview went well "likes Cam and wants to work with him"

[(ATL'ien)CamNewton]

Cam not being a career Panther is only a "pipe dream" - there was never a chance Cam wouldn't be a Panther for life

[Anybodyhome]

So, what happens if Cam isn't healthy come draft day?

[Mr. Scot]

Does that actually differentiate him from any other candidate, though?

To put it another way, is any candidate going to come in and say "No, I don't want to work with Cam Newton"?

Damn I really hope they don't like Rhule. I seen enough of him in the game the other night to make me sick and not want him.

The biggest advantage to getting Rhule would be that you know for a damn fact he's not going to put up with an underperforming OL.

He's either gonna coach up what he's got there or get new ones that he can coach up.

Why are people harping on if Cam will be healthy .. why would his foot not heal?

Would love to be a fly on the wall, wonder if this is a hint on the organizations plan with Cam.  

Would the Panthers say it went bad?

Would any potential coach say he wouldn't want to work with Cam even if he really didn't?

You can't believe everything players, organizations and coaches say.

This is the only candidate I would be happy with, so I’m sure it won’t be the hire.

I would assume it's the first thing any of these offensive minded coaches want to talk about - will Cam be a Panther or not.

I have to believe that any coach in their first year would prefer to have (IF HEALTHY) a guy who is an established QB in the league and former MVP (in addition to a salary bargain) rather than rolling with a back-up QB or rookie, right?

Right?

That injury has ended many careers.

While at the same time it hasn't.

See: Ryan Kalil (and he had a lot more pressure on his feet than Cam did/does).

Why WOULDN'T a coach want to work with a healthy Cam Newton?  We haven't gotten a single indication the team is going to randomly jettison him for no compensation, so leaking that the coach prospects aren't expected to / don't want to work with Newton would be totally idiotic.  We've heard if he is healthy, Tepper finds him very valuable to the team, so...

I hope Cam is a Panther next year, but this isn't much of an indication either way, nor is it an indication on the coaching candidates.

Cam hasn't been healthy in many seasons.  Foot, shoulder, sure, different injuries, but how well he will heal overall, is an open question.  Shoulder was a problem the last time we saw him play for an extended period. He was atrocious throwing the ball this year, albeit injured.  Lingering injury concerns are not unrealistic given the shoulder itself has been a repeat offender.  We know the shoulder was starting to bother Cam even quite early in 2018, so there is plenty of reason to be concerned.

Oh, I know. I was just saying that as it could happen, but it could as easily be fine.
