Going public about being down to mentor or backup is a good move. Listing teams doesn't do him any favors. Now we just know who hasn't called and who Cam won't play backup for.

Acknowledging you're a beggar while still insisting on being a chooser...

I remember there being no bigger cheerleader for the QB on the field than Cam on the sidelines. Teams definitely care about things other than winning. If it were only a football decision then Kap would’ve at least been a backup (even if you think he was bad he would’ve been on a team if it was ONLY about football).

Is Cam a victim of his own creation? Maybe but I remember him cheering loudly and genuinely for whoever the team put on the field.

Hmm, hire a competent sports agent who has a long record of knowing how to effectively/successfully communicate with team decision makers and is capable of showcasing Cam in his best possible light?

The way Cam is currently going about this, he's his own worst enemy.

Reminds me of a FSBO sign in front of a multi-million dollar home that has seen better days.

Last I knew, Newton's Agent was Bus Cook. Not sure whether that's still true.

At least it's not his mom 😕

Seems like he's humbled enough. From "there aren't 32 QB's better than me" to "Here's a list of QB's I would backup".

I still do not see him in that role--maybe he would--but when you say "there are not 32 qbs in the NFL (referring to starters) better than me" and then 2 weeks later, say, "Can I please play behind someone I think that I am better than?" it lacks sincerity--but Cam cannot control the fact that his alpha personality and past will add pressure to the starter--even if he is not intending to do that.  Maybe if he were willing to take on a Taysom Hill role?  I dunno

If Cam is serious about playing football, I'm sure the USFL wouldn't mind having him.  Try to bring ratings for them and compete with the NFL.  Or you could use the USFL as a tryout for NFL teams next year.

I feel like he could probably only throw the ball for 2.5 games before his shoulder gives out again. Sad times. I just hope he saves his money and lives a long happy life.

Shannon Sharpe just destroyed Cam on Nat'l tv.

 

Sad to say he was right. Cam making a list of QB's he's willing to backup makes no sense when you been out of the league for 2 years. Sad how Cam is going out.

Just watched it. Shannon is right. 
 

He should just retire, because it’s over. It was already going to be tough for him to get a job, but with him sabotaging himself, it’s not going to happen.

Teams probably would have approached him about opportunities already if they didn't fear what he'd run to podcasts and blab about. You can be the loud mouth big man on campus when you're actually still the big man on campus. I'm all for being yourself and voicing your thoughts, but the NFL isn't about that unless you're winning games for teams.

This is likely a big deal.

He played in only six games with us the prior year, and looked like he was fading as the games went on. Seeing that, no team is going to be confident that he can last through a full schedule as a starter.

As a backup, the question remains. How many games can you count on him for?

I know some people say "gull offseason conditioning" but the reality is there's wear and tear involved in that too. It doesn't necessarily make as huge difference as people might think.

      Real Mid-Season Development at QB: Bo Nix

      By Icege · Posted

      One has a proven, offensive-minded, Super Bowl winning head coach along with a top 5 OL + defense. He's being protected and getting the ball back not having to chase the other teams. The other had Frank Reich + Thomas Brown their rookie year with a bottom 5 defense as well as a bottom 5 OL that gave up the 2nd most sacks against a rookie QB ever. The sophomore season is being ran with a top 5 OL but also with a rookie HC (that has just one year of OC experience) and a bottom 5 defense still. The Broncos defense has allowed over 20pts just three times this season (26 vs. SEA (L), 23 vs. LAC (L), 41 vs. BAL (L)). Meanwhile, the Panthers have had ONE game where the defense gave up less than 20pts (vs. NYG (W)).   I'm not sure how folks couldn't expect Bo Nix to statistically perform better given their incredibly different situations. With that said, I didn't expect Nix to keep ascending as impressively as he has this season. Hopefully his arc will give other older college QBs a better shot, especially given the recent media blitz against the NFL regarding how development of the QB position in the league seems to be non-existent. Hopefully Bryce continues to improve as well, of course.

      Real Mid-Season Development at QB: Bo Nix

      “You can learn a lot in 10 games,” Nix said. “[I’m] still learning, still growing, but just finding ways to execute the play that’s called, no matter what it is: run play, pass play. It doesn’t matter. Just finding the right way to go with the ball.” To that point, Nix noted how his developing partnership with head coach Sean Payton has helped Denver’s offense get to the next level. “To be honest, I think at the beginning, you kind of make the NFL bigger than what it actually is,” Nix said when asked where he feels he’s made the most strides. “These players are really good, but at the same time, you have really good players on your level. I think simplifying the game, trying to play as fast as possible, and finding a completion, which is what we’ve been able to do here recently. “I think as we’ve gone on, Coach and I have found a good rhythm of what we both like, what we can kind of put out there on the field, and what we can execute. Then the guys have kind of adapted to it, found our roles within the offense, and executed at a high level. It’s just all about slowing the game down and processing things in a manner that you can handle. Just kind of see one or two things, and let those guys take you to where the ball is supposed to be.” -Bo Nix From what I'm gathering regarding Bryce, the Panthers entered this season with a reset mindset. It's Young's rookie year, which explains the benching. Now, we're beginning to see the development of Canales and Young's offense. Slow development but we're winning 😃
