We need to be wise with Cam

Yes. Embrace the suck. Embrace the losing for absolutely no guarantee this franchise will.go to the playoffs at all under coach Rhule. You dont get rid of the best Qb your franchise has ever seen at 31 years old. I'm going to say it again, moves like that are the reason why this team has a bigger chance of becoming the Browns of the NFC rather than a perennial playoff team. 

When was the last time he won a game?

When he was playing at an MVP level before his shoulder got bad again. He wasn’t losing due to skill. A year of recovery and surgery on that shoulder is probably all he needed. 

Two words that stand out in this post.   1.Again (He hurt his shoulder AGAIN)  2.Probably (a year recovery is PROBABLY all he needed)

 

You think Tepper and Rhule are building a franchise based on that knowing Cam is on deck for a new deal?  This isnt hard people.

Cam is coming off 2 big injuries and only has 1 year left on his deal. What can we reasonably expect teams to give up? We would be lucky to get a 2nd or even a 3rd at this point. The other option is to release him, but again what are we going to do with the cap space that creates this year? Who would we sign with that money? 

It just doesn't make sense to part with someone like Cam when you can still rebuild around him. Imagine if we kept Cam and drafted/signed a few players on the oline and the dline? Wed still be able to compete while bringing in young talent to fill out the depth chart. That seems like a better and more securing path to success in the short and long term.

From what I can gather the team has no plans to build around Cam. If they were he would have been extended already.  They haven't and are not.  So that option is off the table.   What is left is keep him until his current contract runs out or trade him.  

There is no long term for Cam in Carolina brother.   Whatever they build will be around someone else.

Keeping Cam shouldn't take away from what this team wants to do in the long run unless its tanking for the #1 pick next year. Which again is one of the dumbest and idiotic things this franchise will have done since its inception. The season hasn't even started you dont go into the season with that type of loser mentality. That is just so bad. That's the only legit reason I can see why Cam would be "in the way" of the future.

Sad to say but I think that's exactly what we're doing.

What happened with Peyton Manning? Didn't the colts release him due to injuries/age and draft luck? I think it will be similar thing with Newton if he doesn't retire.

 

Well the thing is Peyton went on to appear in the Super Bowl twice, winning one, while the colts got invited to the patriots invitational and sent packing, ultimately luck retired, so looks like colts made the bad decision in hindsight.

Again I’m going to need the FO to really sell me on the positive that comes from moving on from cam Newton if it’s determined he’s healthy, all the speculation and ideas posters have proposed are down right asinine, purposely tanking is the stupidest thing we could do for a unknown commodity, a trade up for burrow is about the only idea that I can see working but will be costly, and every other idea is meh and very madden like
