Cam Newton's Legacy with the Panthers

[PantherBoy95]

How will you remember his time here?

For me no time soon will the Panthers see an individual talent like his at the QB position.  People forget how rare a truly elite QB can be, especially with his dual threat ability.  I honestly felt that he had the ability to become the LeBron James of the NFL.  His infectious attitude, marketability and great off the field personality is something that we have never had with the Panthers.  It was great to have a player featured in commercials, having shoe deals, and bringing overall notoriety to the franchise.  Add that in with his ridiculous skillset, we had a lot of potential for immense success.
I hate that injuries and a lack of offensive support ended up being his downfall over time.

I'm thankful to have witnessed his play firsthand, and look forward to seeing what he does next.  I'll still be a fan of his no question.

Cut too short and mismanaged by a franchise full of ineptitude 

[Waldo]

Missed opportunities. By far the best and most exciting QB we have ever had. 

[Navy_football]

Incredible talent, but raw and went to the wrong team. 

 

[PhillyB]

greatest QB we've ever had, maybe most iconic player, moreso than 89.

did more to grow this franchise than anyone in history.

rewrote the record books in a short decade.

criminally unappreciated by scads of people who literally would have chosen kyle allen over him because they prefer a losing lunchpaily white quarterback to a brash, unapologetic black man.

my favorite player in any sport across all time.

[PantherFanInPhilly]

Helluva lot of fun to watch and cheer for. Did a ton for the community and the fanbase. Never had the supporting cast he needed and another great player that injuries cut their career shorter than it should have been. Coulda woulda shoulda. 

[MechaZain]

Cool and exciting talent that forced a good ol boy organization to evolve. 

[Shocker]

 Best player in our history.  Pretty obvious.

he made them so mad they were reduced to calling kyle allen “baby GOAT”

that was the absolute lowest point of sports fandom i have ever seen jfc

[Jmac]

His legacy will be as a generational QB who had the misfortune to play for an inept coaching staff and organization.  Not surrounding him with the talent to succeed year after year and allowing him to get beat to a pulp behind constantly terrible Olines.

Fuggin shame.

 

[Mr. Scot]

Lots and lots of fun to watch.

But yes, also horribly mismanaged by inept coaching.

[LinvilleGorge]

Probably the single most physically talented QB ever. Terribly mismanaged by an inept staff that ultimately led to injury issues and drastically shortened career.

For future reference, having a large athletic QB doesn't mean you can utterly forego building an OL.

[bobowilson]

Didn't fall on a fumble because he was more concerned with his brand, and put more work into his outfits and hats than trying to improve as a pocket passer

Greatest Panther of all time

[Harbingers]

Hold on gotta take a timeout the calls not coming in.

Was incredible you watch while he was in his prime here. I mean he basically wore a flakjacket under his jersey at one point. The past few years have been difficult. It really might be time for a change for him. But wish we had given him one more chance this season.
