One Final vent session….

[Your GFs favorite huddler]

Compadres! Gather round! 
It’s the dog days of summer and with not too much going on in the news cycle the 704cast crew decided it was time to have our final Vent session on the Cam Newton era. Join us and listen in on our 2 hour round table discussion on the Cam Era. We talk about everything from the college days, the organization, the media and the fans. Just a disclaimer the language can be rough at times so be aware if you are listening around little ones or at work. As always like/rate/subscribe. 
 

maybe this will help you with some closure as it did for us! And if you want to bash us bash away
 

as always we appreciate all Panthers fans and love this forum and appreciate the mods for allowing us to post!

My brain has moved on since that's the business side of this game, but damn there's a special place in my heart for Cam (Steve Smith too) and what he did for this community and organizing and I'm really miss him.

Always man! It’s something we just couldn’t skip over, we didn’t want to move on without putting this content out!

The microaggressions he was subjected to were exhausting. He made games fun to watch and that translated to his teammates despite some observers wanting as often as possible to detach him from that natural joy that he played with. He detested losing so much so that it sometimes got the best of him but it cannot be disputed that he changed the culture for the better. He carried that mentality with him in the years that followed even as some fans and the local media were practically kicking and screaming about changed norms along the way. If Carolina can recapture anything like that again soon we will be very lucky.

A Carolina Panther was the Most Valuable Player in the National Football League.

A lot of folks won’t understand why this statement is so incredible.

He's not done

Cam injuring his shoulder and depriving football fans of what could have been will go down as one of the biggest travesties this city has ever experienced sports-wise.  He was on a legit Hall of Fame trajectory, and all that came crashing down because he was forced to sprint the entire length of the field to make a tackle on a turnover.

He may not be done but his time as an elite QB in the league likely is. 

It's a very sad thing to see because the Carolina Panthers were in part responsible.

He looked like the same old Cam last season as a runner. Had not one TE to throw to, why BB doled out the $ for two good TE's and two WR's - '21 NE will easily be best supporting cast on offense Cam's ever had, he's going to be elite

He'll be our QB again in his age 36 season

Other than the MVP year, not sure Cam was very elite.  He had good years and mediocre years.  Rarely "elite" when compared to the best the NFL has to offer.

Cam was the teams leading rusher every year until CMC's second season ..

The receivers drafted for Cam couldn't have been worse .. Benjamin and Funchess .. the entire offense was Cam.

Cam would have been a better WR than any WR outside Smith, that he's played with, and even then, Smith was 32 at the youngest

Cam singlehandedly carried an NFL offense for years, that's elite.

Mahomes has Andy Reid, weapons galore, and great LT + line to this point, easy to put up huge #'s in that situation, a situation Cam's never found himself in until 2021 .. MVP #2 coming for Cam

No he wasn't. Cam was the leading rusher in 2012 and 2017. Not every year.

I meant to say he never had an 1,000 yard rusher until CMC's second season
