It’s even worse that they waited until they wouldn’t have to pay an injury settlement. Tepper, you are a engorged rectum. 

Kinda like waiting until the day the invoices were mailed to tell PSL owners they didn’t have seats anymore 

what a guy

The day before? I got mine like 40 days later. 

Those psls aren't worth 3k bro, those who took the money made bank. Go on pslexchange and see how much lower deck seats cost.

It's not as if Panthers PSLs are a scarce good.

can he stay healthy and no ones truly knows the answer to that right know (sic)

This can be said about 100% of players in the NFL. Every damn player is one play away from a potential career ender.

Or maybe you are privy to secret information about indestructible players we don’t know about?

Hold on, guys! There is some subjectivity regarding passing physicals in the NFL according to Dr. David Chao! I've heard similar from analysts.

 

"All NFL transactions are not complete until the team physical. This is true for trades, free agent signings and even for claiming a player off another team’s practice squad. The process is analogous to buying a house. After a sale price and terms are agreed upon, escrow doesn’t close until the home inspection is passed.

"Last season, Oakland agreed to a five-year, $42.5 million contract for offensive lineman Rodger Saffold but the Raiders failed him on the subsequent physical due to a shoulder injury. He ultimately returned to his original team, the Rams, for considerably less money.

"This case also points out that passing a physical is not black and white, thus failing doesn’t mean one can’t play football. Most NFL players have injury history. It is a matter of what a club will tolerate that determines whether a physical is passed. St Louis was willing to re-sign Saffold, but Oakland was not willing to take the chance with a lucrative deal. He played last season but has now had shoulder surgery."

So does this mean the team can release him without an injury settlement?

It was purly done for that reason.

When coronavirus us over, you guys need to see a shrink.

Its football, its a business, guys get hurt and are no longer worth the millions, it happens....every single year.

You can buy another jersey, and it is about his shoulder, not his outfit for those that don't remember seeing Namath.

They don't but if you come to the podium dressed like that and aren't portraying a Clinton Portis character, then no one is going to take you seriously anymore.

Dude looked like Katherine Hepburn at the beach.

lol you expect people to just gloss over this in 1 day?

This man is the first MVP in franchise history. He's a big deal whether you like him or not. Turn on ESPN he's the topic of discussion right now. Just because you didn't care for him doesn't mean others don't.

Better yet if you don't care why post in this thread? You sound angry bro, just admit it.

No anger here just tired of the 50 threads about one player. I don't care who it was nobody did it for Olsen, TD or other players. It's a damn team game, not one player.

With all of the bad olines, garbage WRs, old injury prone RBs Cam has been forced to play with during his career here it really is amazing he put up the type of numbers he did while he was here.

Carolina did a piss poor job surrounding Cam with talent during his tenure here. We were always DEFENSE FIRST and force Cam to carry the offense with guys like Mike Shula calling plays with some truly atrocious OTs blocking in front of him. No Quarterback survives 9 seasons with the offensive rosters we put together for Cam. 

It truly is a TRAVESTY that the time Carolina FINALLY invests in its offense they ditch Cam for an overglorified game manager in Teddy Bridgewater. What a damn shame.

THIS is my biggest issue - add in an actual innovative offensive coaching staff and playcaller. 

I don't think it was ever about Cam's health. I think they just wanted to move on. They wanted to change the culture in the locker room and perhaps thought Cam would be a detriment to that change - he doesn't fit their mold. Nothing else makes sense. It just doesn't. 

And they know if Teddy falls on his face, they will look like fools. That's why they're beefing up an offense when the defense is completely lacking of talent. If Teddy fails, they look like idiots. They CAN NOT let that happen. I'm perfectly fine with giving Teddy every chance to succeed, but would rather have allowed Cam that opportunity and then traded him after a season (or at least a couple of games) in this offense. He would have garnered a 1st or 2nd rounder once teams realized they made bade decisions at the QB position in the offseason .

Look, let me offer another side of this.

It was never about Cam, or it was about making Carolina something other than Camolina. 

Cam, for all of his great abilities and God-given talents, said from the beginning he was setting out to be an Icon (let's not worry about that entertainer part). And what did he do? He became one. Amazing play, massive charisma and a fearless approach to the game took him to league MVP, the Superb Owl, massive endorsement deals, countless highlight reels, a set of his cleats in the Hall of Fame and an adoring public. He was the undoubted leader of the team and the face of the franchise.

And then something bad happened. We started losing games, Cam was injured, we saw that we had a team that could not compete without him. Let me repeat this, because it is true whether you are a Cam fan or not... we could not compete without him. Specifically, we could not compete without Super Cam. After that shoulder injury (and probable concussions in the Superb Owl and the rematch at the beginning of 2016), Cam was knocked down and out, made human. 

Let's fast forward to the end of last season, after two and a half seasons of Cam being unable to be Cam and make the difference in those games. He wasn't the same guy on the field, he couldn't physically win the games, his back wasn't strong enough to carry the team. And like it or not, the team was built (not just on paper, but in the locker room) to win with and by Cam. And that's not something you can change over night. The only person on the entire team to step up and really try to take over that Prime Mover spot was CMC and even his Herculean, record setting effort, could not do it.  Without Cam's leadership and charisma on the field, we saw great veteran players just start going through the motions. They basically crumbled and humbled without Cam to help shoulder the load. The shining light had gone out and so many players just sat down in the dark and waited for the end of week 17.

That's a coaching failure, that's a pro player failure, it's even one of the fanbase. Cam, the Icon, had literally been the be all and end all of the team. We didn't have a team persona, we had a Cam and his boys persona. And over two and a half years, it showed what happens when you put all of your eggs in one basket. 

And that's where we found ourselves going into this season: a wounded Icon that wasn't ever going to be able to be the guy from 2015 again. Even if he could just function as a really good starting QB, you couldn't rally the team around him without that magic any more and expect good results. The team had to get rid of Cam and those who deflated without Cam here to have any real chance at rebuilding a team again. Rebuild a TEAM, not an Icon and his followers. The house had to be torn down and rebuilt on many foundations rather than on one singular, albeit magnificent, rock.

It's not Cam's fault, he was who he was and man, it was fantastic, wasn't it? He did carry and entire team on his back time and time again. He made the entire league's jaws drop play after play. He did things that were just amazing. And we rightfully cheered him on. And we let everything else slip that happened to fall in the long shadow he cast. 

So farewell Cam and good luck to you. It was fun to have caught lightning in a jar for a little while there, but it took both of our hands and all of our attention to hold onto it. We let the rest slip away while you had our attention. We did. We can't do it again.

Career record 68-55.  No back to back winning seasons.  double digit wins 3 times.   I think the panthers can recover from releasing him.
