I blame Rivera--who is still coaching in this league after abusing Cam--maybe that is the only way you can use a player like Newton, but he gave us 8 years of high-quality play and there were times, in my opinion, Rivera could have put on the breaks with him--RR is nothing without Newton and Newton knows it, which is why Rivera's team (Howell) is a bit odd.

I agree that Rivera didn't maximize Cam's ability but it wasn't just running him into the ground it was not having the coaching staff to develop him into a complete player with great fundamentals and consistency. By the time that Turner came in the die had been cast.  Ron treated Cam like a friend not a player he needed to challenge.  He wasn't tough enough to get the best out of Cam and transition him from a running quarterback to a passing one. We all knew that the only chance for a long career for Cam was to win with his arm and not his legs. Cam liked to run and was great at it. It was natural and didn't have to be learned. Both Chud and Shula changed the offense to mimic what Cam could do well in the run game looking for immediate results rather than his long term development. Cam had a high floor and could have had a huge ceiling but never got there. Now he is considered an aging running qb with questionable passing ability for various reasons. But like most number 1 picks he went to a team that had lots of deficits on the field and on the sidelines.

Yeah this has desperation written all over it.

 

Why give a list of QB's... Just say im willing to be a backup in the NFL.

That would be the wise way to handle it, then just privately select the option you want when and if it becomes available.

When no nfl team wants you but you have a list of teams you'll play for......

Fowler hits the nail on the head with this tweet.  If Cam finds himself on an NFL roster again it will be in spite of his media blitz, not because of it.

Bottom line:  Cam has become his own worst enemy

I guess you missed him playing in Norv's offense where he looked much better as a passer even though his arm clearly was on the decline after the initial shoulder injury.

he did... but that lasted like 3 games
