Matt Rhule interview

There was talk of the Panthers parting ways with Newton looooooooong before Covid-19 came into play.

That's true...a lot of talk from the media about it. Last year of his deal, injuries, and a new coach. Under those circumstances rumors would have of course been started.  I just dont think they would have told Cam that he would have been back ( according to Cam they did) and I dont think Matt Rhule would have said what he said in his combine interview if it was completely true though.

I’m not too in love with the fluff he’s adding on players we moved on from, sounds counter productive. 

well him and tepper had better produce a winner in the next 3 seasons or fans are going to be pissed, not that they aren’t already.
 

Tepper doesnt care

It wasn't just the media.

From what I've read and heard from people with inside access, I've come to believe that Tepper was never really "all in" on Cam Newton. He said the right things (sort of) but there was always an "out" in his statements.

Take for example his saying that when healthy, Newton was "an elite player' rather than "our starter", or his constant kicking the can down the road saying they'd evaluate him once he was healthy, only to cut him one day after he passed a physical. Throw in also the report from Jourdan Rodrigue that both Rivera and Hurney wanted to extend Newton, but Tepper nixed it.

These things and more are why I'm of the opinion that parting ways with Newton was always an option for Tepper. If it wasn't this season, it would have been next year after his contract expired. Newton's injuries just facilitated it happening sooner rather than later.

To be perfectly honest, I think it's possible Newton's path to the exit started the day Jerry Richardson sold the team.

I'm still firmly of the opinion that this is either going to be a long-term raving success or an absolutely abysmal failure. Either way, I predict a painful couple of seasons before we know which way it'll ultimately go.

I really hope we moved on from Cam due to injury concerns and we're just doing the right thing by Cam and not disclosing that and posing it as a football decision. Honestly, that would be commendable. But, if we really did choose Teddy over Cam as a pure football decision... oh wee mayne.

We did. I can't wrap my brain around it but we did. We chose Teddy Bridgewater over Cam freaking Newton.

This team sometimes. Man, I love them, but like you said, oh wee mayne.

    • I like that a lot; Ware from Troy and also Khalil Mack who played at University of Buffalo
    • I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛
    • bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
