I wish him nothing but the best. Glad we don't play them next year. It'd be "blood and guts" all over again.

Super bowl LV baby!

well this thread is like the end-all-be-all for posters showing their ass

Just like college players on teams I like that get drafted by ATL, NO, Dallas, etc. Once they go to the enemy,  they are dead to me. Of all the places he could go, this is one of the worst. Can't say I will root for Cam because I dislike NE and belicheat a lot. If he had gone elsewhere it might have been different.

There hasn’t been a physical.

 

There was a physical I believe with Panthers personnel back in March, but yeah the Pats haven't been able to get their own hands on him and that has indeed contributed greatly to the delay in Cam getting signed.

Nobody here hates Cam. 

I think you struggle with reading comprehension.

I will always wish Cam well

Always 

He did a great deal for the city, for kids, for a team that has been largely forgettable  and on Sundays willed  mostly poor offensive teams with equally forgettable offensive staffs to wins until  his body could not do it  anymore 

I hope he gets another chance at a Super Bowl 

As for the Panthers, I pay for season tickets, have followed them for years but Tepper concerns me.  He is rich. His team he can do what he wants with his team 

However, in my opinion , Tepper’s mistreatment of Newton should give everyone pause   It has me. Newton is very prideful. I cannot imagine him making the rounds at the Super Bowl without cause   My opinion would be quite different if Tepper had said to Newton, personally, Immediately on signing Rhule, we are going a different way and are releasing you’

I willl be curious to see how many of the Cam Nut Huggers come here and make excuses if he bombs out in N.E. or plays like crap.

It will be someone else's fault...  Coaching or receivers....

Thank god now half this board of nut huggers can flood the Pats board.

Contrary to popular (and thinly-veiled discriminatory) belief, Newton possesses elite pocket presence as well as one of the most natural and cerebral feels for the game at the position. That should mesh pretty damn well with the braintrust in New England, even without a star-studded supporting cast.

But what if it doesn’t? What if Newton really is washed? What if he’s unable to return to form?

Belichick and the Patriots are going to come out alright anyway, because they’re playing four-dimensional chess while the competition is still playing checkers.

Say Newton can’t overcome his injury history. Say he greatly underperforms or goes down again with Jarrett Stidham or Brian Hoyer having to take over.

If the Patriots flop in 2020, it will put them in range to draft a new franchise QB like Trevor Lawrence, Justin Fields or even Trey Lance. No matter what happens, it’s a win-win situation for Belichick.

If Newton’s career cannot be resurrected, the Patriots could very well end up with one of those aforementioned potential stars of the future. If Cam is Cam again, then you’re looking at a Super Bowl contender for 2020 and possibly beyond depending on the salary cap situation.

Even if they couldn’t afford Newton on a longer deal past the upcoming season, he could play well enough to leave New England and net them a third-round compensatory pick for 2021, potentially recouping the lost third-rounder from their punishment handed down on Sunday. 4-D chess.

It’s a full-proof plan by New England. So, why couldn’t the Panthers do it?

Why couldn’t Carolina have just held on to Newton for 2020? Why not give him the opportunity he has earned many times over and let him prove himself on a one-year deal?

Well, because they’re the Panthers. That’s why.

Again, this move illustrates the very huge gulf between franchises like New England and Carolina.

The Panthers already had Newton under contract on a relatively cheap, one-year prove-it deal. Before he was unceremoniously released, Cam was slated to make $19.5 million in base salary and cost only $21.2 million against the cap, which would have been the 14th-highest hit amongst quarterbacks in the league.

Instead, the Panthers will pay a notably less talented Teddy Bridgewater an average of $21 million per year if he plays out the length of his contract.

Although Teddy is a solid player and great guy by all accounts, he keeps the middling Panthers in the middle. He’ll be good enough to keep their offense competent, but not good enough to carry them and their extremely inexperienced defense as a serious threat into the playoffs.

Because the Panthers moved on from Newton seemingly for the sake of moving on, they now have to watch him land in New England’s lap for a well-calculated, low-risk, high-reward move on a contract even cheaper than the pathetic sendoff of a one-minute video tribute on Twitter they gave the most impactful player to ever wear their uniform.

The more things change, the more they stay the same. The mediocre franchise in Carolina keeps straddling the fence, while the smart franchise in New England stays smart and continues dominating.

If Cam passed his physical with flying colors he would have gotten more than a 1 year vet min. There is likely a good amount of concern over his throwing shoulder. 

A bunch of people don't want to face this fact. Rivera ran Cam into the ground like a bunch of us were saying years ago. No one can take the punishment he did and not pay for it. With a actual Oline around him he would have still been a Panther and a MVP. 

[panthertime]

I'm guessing the Panthers' organization is going to wish they had kept Cam.

I'm expecting a big year. Best Wishes to a player who always gave the Panthers 110% AND was loved by the Carolina fans.

LOL

The sour grapes from the usual suspects around here because NE went from tank to contender in a 24-hour span is absolutely hilarious. This franchise deserves this type of poo, honestly. So quick to be done with a guy you lot never even liked so we can watch Teddy B and Cmac statpad the next 2-years riding 5-11, 6-10 records.

Alright guys time to round up! You’ve all been the  last of cam fanboys stragglers hanging around for some time and it’s been fun but Cam has finally found a new team now. I’ll include a link to the new fan section over at the patriots board where you all can introduce yourselves as die hard Pats fans now.

So get in your last friendly jabs, you know, the ‘Panthers are a poo organization, fug Bridgewater and his supporting racists, and you hope they all lose and the Pats win it all with Cam to show all the haters wrong’, yada yada yada. 

Oh and don’t try the whole but I’m a Panther fan lol. I think this whole forum can tell pretty easily that isn’t true. Haha. It’s been fun.
