This sounds like one of the worst possible things to do to a rookie #1 overall pick.

Agreed. I love Cam. But a lot of us love Cam. Having Cam Newton looking over the shoulder of our #1 overall pick rookie QB in the town where Cam was an NFL MVP is just not a good idea. Let the rookie get off to a bumpy start and you guarantee you'll be hearing "We want Cam!" chants in BOA.

I may have to give it a watch then. Ive quit on Cam cause when he goes cringe, its a OD....

It's a good watch up until he starts giving the names of QB's he will back up. He did everything right up until then.

 

Now he eliminated his other suitors by not mentioning them. You don't even need an agent to realize how dumb that was.

He may legitimately have zero interest in playing for the other teams he didn't mention. I mean, Cam should be more than comfortably set for life financially. He clearly wants to keep playing football but there may be some situations he just wants no part of even if that means that he is effectively retiring himself.

Looks to me like he's naming teams with coaches he's familiar with and/or young talented QBs he may legitimately want to mentor.

Why didnt RR sign him?? Seemed too perfect to me and they needed a QB since cams been a FA.....telling on both of them.

Ron knows his shoulder is shot. With Cam openly talking about being willing to accept a backup role it could change.

Could also be if they had any success it would invalidate Ron as a coach even further. 
 

Ron is just a less talented rah rah version of John Fox that learned how to go for it on 4th down.

You never know about that, though.

A lot of guys we think should be set for life wind up broke.

It's the optics of it. Beggars can't be choosers and he's doing both. If Cam wants back in the league his focus needs to be proving he's got anything left, whoever gives him the chance to. How are you calling the shots when no one's calling you? No one wants a backup who comes with all that.

    • The other draft picks have turned out pretty well. Brooks will too.
    • I'm still not touching Hunter He again said the other day that he plans on playing both sides of the ball in the NFL.  If he is allowed to do that, he won't be as good on either side as his potential and he's going to have serious injury issues and have a short career.  If he's not allowed to do it, I think he's going to become a problem when the team isn't winning as he's going to feel him not being used on both sides of the ball is why. He's being coddled in that environment with Deion and I think it's doing a disservice to him to prepare him for life in the NFL where your coach isn't a 2nd father to you, to where you can just walk into his locker room and steal his shoes like Hunter does to Deion.
    • He’s a tad behind them. Around 15ish of 32 starters in the league. He’s well ahead of a lot of guys. Tua, Bryce, Cousins (present), Rodgers (current), Devito/Jones, Minshew, Russ (current), Watson, Smith, Carr, T Laws deep ball is weak as poo IMO, there’s plenty. And it’s not like everyone is ripping 60+ers. The key component is if you can rip and maintain velocity of the 30-40 yarders which he does super well. Legit every report out there from Brugler to PFF to PFN document him as good/above average arm strength.  Eye test tells me it’s pretty much that as well, slightly above average.
