Is this about us? I’m worried

We've been over this.  He asked for a trade.  That is not the same as, I want to play the last year of my contract. 

Mods?

A Cam with his back against the wall? That’s going to be scary. 

Everyone who thinks the dumb decision to get rid of Cam was the “right” move is going to be very wrong I’m thinking

Cam has moved on. I seriously doubt he thinks much about the panthers anymore.

Cam was looking for a new long term contract from the Panthers.  His ability to play an entire season w/his nagging shoulder injury was a legitimate concern for management. 

We had some great years with Cam, but it was time to move on.

He did not. How does this myth persist

Our decision was not to renew.

You conveniently left out his passing stats. There is no way to win in the NFL today by using your QB as a power running back.

Just ask us. We tried.

That's precisely my point.

After more than three months on the open market as a free agent in 2020, Cam agreed to an incentive laden contract in NE.  It wasn't close to the long term "Franchise QB" level contract many fans had anticipated from Carolina earlier that same year. 

In Cam's own words, he wasn't the same player in 2020 that Panthers fans knew from years gone by:

Quote

 

Via his Instagram account on Saturday, Newton said the quarterback the Patriots are paying for is not the same one who spent nine seasons with Carolina.

“What makes this (expletive) different is they ain’t never seen this Cam,” Newton said. “They ain’t never seen him. (Expletive) because you want to know how I know? Because I ain’t never seen him. The forgotten Cam. The (expletive)-on Cam. The tired-of-being-sick-and-tired Cam. Felt like I was just left to die. ‘It’s over with for him. He ain’t the same player.’ I love it. I adore it. I admire it. I want to taste it. Everything about it. You know what I’m saying? Because I ain’t never seen that me.”

Unfortunately, 2020 didn't help Newton's long term prospects. 

However, if Cam's shoulder has fully recovered, 2021 may finally be his comeback year.  

Time will tell. 

Regardless of outcome, this is no longer about Carolina.

Let's once again count how long ago 2015 was please.

this guys is a troll, watch him disappear

Yeab BB doesn’t think he’s abysmal enough for 5 mil while drafting a qb in the first, which I believe is the only time BB has ever done that in his career.

back to cam’s comments about ‘commitment’ and being traded…means what? some sort of cam fanboy code?

acting like this was least year, we’ve seen the results already…yea we know about the excuses, they’ve been on repeat for a decade…but the results. They weren’t good. It was a good move.

I'm sorry,  laughing at a poster for typing this out "Everybody seems to be betting against Cam .. that doesn't seem like a smart thing to do " is not hating on cam. 

Cam is entering Uncle Rico territory at this point.  He was a great great QB but that was an eternity ago in the NFL

If the possibility of seeing people make positive comments regarding our former QB is so triggering for you, you could always just not click on the thread but invariably there you are in every thread about Cam like a moth to a flame.

Sometimes determination and Twitter cannot overcome a bad shoulder and Father Time

Hope he does well, but with each passing years, the doubts grow.
