The rumor flying is his anti-vax stance got him cut.

And of course everyone will point to the lack of maturity, even now toward the end of his career. There was a lot of potential there that was never realized.

I'll agree that he never realized his full potential, but he's had a pretty remarkable career. Most notably, he's probably the most prolific running QB of all time. I believe he's second all-time in rushing yards for QBs behind only Vick. What sets him apart from most other running QBs is his TD totals, though. If he retires today, he's got 70. That's insane. He's got 10 more rushing TDs than Julio Jones has receiving TDs in his career, only 13 fewer than Calvin Johnson and 9 fewer than Antonio Brown. He's got more rushing TDs than Jamaal Charles or Leveon Bell have career TDs. More than Travis Kelce and Tyreek Hill as well.

He passed for over 4,000 yards in his rookie season. His first two career starts he eclipsed 400 passing yards. He's got the MVP season and Super Bowl appearance. Hell, he averaged 26 TDs per season and he basically missed all of 2019 to injury.

Pretty damn close to fact.

That and he sucks and Mac has been running the offense like Brady in the 2000s

Cam dresses like huggy bear he be styling.

I honestly and truthfully believe Cam has CTE. Something ain't right upstairs with him anymore.

His shoulder is shot and has been for awhile.

You know a guy is washed up when a dead singer is better than he is. Cam has always been about Cam and BB doesn't play that game.

I've mentioned it before but his shoulder must be ****ed. His throwing motion just looks so laborious lately.

Also, on a smaller note, when he breaks huddle and rises up from his knee, he's looked very sluggish for the last few seasons. Maybe that's nothing but me reading into something that's not there, but for a high-energy guy like Cam, I noticed it.

Go watch him throw his MVP year then watch him now. His motion, the velocity on the ball it's all different.

Cam looks awful (still).

Jones looked good - saw all the processing strengths we saw at Alabama and his passes had a little more zip than I expected.

I don't think he's a superstar in the making, but he's a quality quarterback. On the low end I think he ends up Kurt Cousins, high end maybe something like Matt Ryan (normal Matt Ryan, not the MVP version).

He's exactly the kind of guy BB is going to prefer because he'll run the offense as designed and do a solid job of it. Plays won't fail because of Jones like they would because of Newton.

Dude where have you been?

Bump 08-31-2021 02:52 PM

Cam Newton is done, after his MVP season he just went to shit.

Demonpenz 08-31-2021 03:08 PM

He proposed to his girlfriend during a film session with his shirt off.

MGRS13 08-31-2021 03:31 PM

He was fun to watch for a while. Is his own person and doesn’t give a **** what people think, I can respect that. But, he’s not a leader. You find out who can lead when you lose, when the going gets tough. He’s doesn’t take responsibility when things go wrong, won’t answer the questions when things are tough. Plus, as others have stated, can’t throw the ball for whatever reason. That’s the sunset cam, ride off.

Wow, yeah. He's always had a weird throwing motion. It almost looks like he's shotputting.

He clearly had more juice in that arm back during that MVP season.

He really did just fall off immediately after that Super Bowl. I wonder what path his career would have taken had he 1) dove on that fumble in the big game and 2) the refs didn't allow those cheating Broncos to knock him around so much in the week 1 game the following season. They put the hurting on that dude and the refs didn't give two shit.

Deberg_1990 08-31-2021 03:48 PM

It’s too bad. one of the most physically gifted QBs ever when he was younger.

Can't pimp like Fly Guy until he's got the platform shoes with goldfish in the soles.

Eureka 08-31-2021 04:31 PM

So where does he sign next? Miami?

All it takes is for a starter to go down and that team might take a peak at Cam.

Indy.

I think Philly would look at him for a backup to Hurts.

Philly just traded for Minshew, so I am not sure they need him.

Lprechaun 08-31-2021 05:03 PM

Not to turn this into a covid discussion, I do think it has the makings of an issue for the league, the union and players such as Newton and Beasley and any others if this doesnt go forward 100% perfectly.
I only bring this up in here as all the pundits seem to say the reason he was released was his status of vaccination.
Its understandable with the league rules, he just may not be worth the headache. The league put in rules that are different for vaccinated and unvaccinated players and Newton may not be worth to the Pats as say Beasley is to the Bills.
It seems like a Kaepernick situation brewing in a way.
Now if you say he just wasnt good enough to keep than Id probably write it off as he is older and ready to be sent off and wouldnt give it another thought.

TribalElder 08-31-2021 05:50 PM

wow, patriots cut hoyer too leaving them with only the rookie

are they gonna trade for Desean watson ?

Missed that. Thanks.

Probably scratch Philly off.

Demonpenz 08-31-2021 07:39 PM

It's not going to cause problems with the league unless his head injuries clouded his view on vax

Deberg_1990 09-01-2021 07:10 AM

Yep. Today show this am already starting the narrative that he was let go because of his anti-vax status.

Zero mention of how bad his play was.

Williskey 09-01-2021 07:29 AM

wow was expecting a huge season from him. haha

Flying High D 09-01-2021 07:43 AM

Bring him in for a look? Get the tires

He would be ok as a backup and working for Reid.

But probably wouldn’t be better than Henne at this point.

SuperBowl4 09-01-2021 07:58 AM

Last season Cam looked like he had one foot in the grave. Body language said all you need to know. I was surprised the Patriots resigned Cam after his worse than poor performance last season. The guy is toast. Very similar to Le’veon Bell

Eh, all you've had to see was his play last year to know he was only a stopgap. I'm sure ESPTMZ would love to make this about the vaccination but I think it's mostly about the fact that he's washed.

I saw similar reporting about the Jags having taken vax status into account when making decisions. But then a couple hours later the backpedaling started and they claim no player was release because of their vax status.

This shit is getting out of hand.

And how ridiculous is the NFL policy?

Strict protocols for unvaccinated players, but if you're vaccinated and you happen to be exposed to someone with covid, you don't need to quarantine.

Even tho we know the vaccinated can still spread the vid.

My read is that Cam isn't even relevant to the decision to start Mac, but he may have been relevant to getting cut.

Belichick, it seems, saw things he liked in Mac to be aggressive in the draft. And then he set metrics he wanted to and did see in TC. At that point Cam would had to have just blown everyone's door's off to overcome that coaching dynamic. BB was ready to rock and roll with his handpicked field general, and nothing was gonna deter that outside injury or either a blockbuster performance from Cam or disastrous performance from Mac.

Now, once that news was broken to Cam, who knows if BB told Cam outright he was getting cut, or if Cam said he didn't want to be a backup, or what specifically.

Cowherd has been saying the same thing. He claims inside sources that told him when you add it all up his vax position was the final straw.

Clickbait lazy reporting. "Like, oh mah gawd, Becky, did you know Cam Newton got fired because (insert bullshit clickbait nonsense)".

Sure, it generates attention (clicks), but it is infuriatingly shallow and stupid. Cam Newton ultimately got canned because he is a prima donna with limited talent and no upside. On top of that he is a distraction. No one needs that crap. Transcendent talent allows one to overlook his nonsense... he doesn't have transcendent talent anymore (if he ever had it to begin with).
