“I will never again draft another Quarterback in my lifetime.” –Jerry Richardson, February 2012. Google it.

I think Richardson, finally, made the right decision in hiring a consultant to find the next GM for this team. Hopefully, he listens to whatever Accorsi tells him. As far as getting rid of Cam, I’m not sold on that just yet. Does he need to grow up? Most definitely. However, the sky’s the limit with this guy at QB. Just need to find the no-BS GM who will bring in the right guys to get this out of him.

Last season he was the universally acclaimed as the best rookie QB ever. Now a coach might want to get rid of him?

Sure.

Cam will be fine. Give him time to develop and put a decent offensive line in front of him and everybody will shut their pie hole. The offensive line is a bi-product of Marty Hurney’s team building for dummies book.

Maybe I can be the next GM for the Panthers since I work on computers. That logic worked for Marty.

Can reminds me of a good friend I had growing up. Kid had all world talent, great arm, big strong, and could hit all the spots (much better than the rest of the kids in our class). Kids only problem was he couldn’t accept shortcomings from himself. He’d miss his spot on a throw, the. He’d try too hard from then-on the rest of the game. He destroyed about 10 game gears because of this frustration trait. His Jr. year, coach made the change and put him at tight end. The guy that took over qb duties wasn’t nearly as talented…. But he led our team to our first state championship that year.

I know I’m getting long in the tooth… But for Cam to succeed in the NFL, he’s gotta move on from his mistakes and learn from them.

Richardson had to be talked in to taking a chance on Newton in 2011, though. Maybe that is why Hurley is gone.

How about we give Cam a little time to develop as an NFL quarterback. You know Eli Manning had a pretty rough start to his career and so have lots of quarterbacks only to go on to have lots of success.

Giving up on supremely talented players isn’t really a good idea.

I’m sure the Cardinals can use Cam.

Cam is better than any QB prospect. FA QB options? probably Sanchez after hes cut. Colt, maybe Matt Flynn? nothing exciting.

While everyone is speculating on Andy Reid going to the Chargers with the declining Phillip Rivers and their horrible ownership group (not going to happen) or joining Banner in Cleveland with their horrible roster (not going to happen), this one actually makes the most sense.

Newton is in the mold of McNabb with a much higher ceiling with the only question being if he can finally find another defensive coordinator to complement him, which he’s obviously failed at miserably since Jim Johnson’s death. They’ve already got the not running the ball thing down pat, so he won’t even have to tweak it that hard.

For some reason, I don’t think McDermott would be up to stick around in the new regime though.

it’s not just fans, how many broncos last week did the superman celebration. everybody hates this guy. i’ve never seen so much crow being eaten by the whole panther team than last week. carolina won six last games last year. they suck. they sucked last year and they suck this year. of course the next guy is going to clean house – why would you keep something that doesn’t work. look at how it’s working for the colts – 1 win last year. clean house, this year a playoff team. Cam brought this on himself and panther fans need to quit apologizing for this guy and get realistic.

Didn’t the Browns make an enquiry about Bradford before the draft?

People find ways to hate Cam Newton for something he didn’t do. Talent will prevail in Carolina and Cam will stay.

I Think the new GM and/or coach would be a fool(s) to let newton go 1-he generates too much revenue in carolina 2- he has waaay too much upside!!

I used to be Newtons biggest supporter. Now I can’t. He’s just bad. He sits in the pocket and pats the ball, he doesn’t sense pressure and step up, left, right, at all any direction. And on top of that he doesn’t know where to go with the ball, backyard football only works for big Ben, no one else. He can’t hit anyone deep, hes over throwing by 15 yards it’s not even close. Then after he does terrible he goes and sits by himself with a towel over his head. You never see great qbs doing that. It’s so frustrating.

This isn’t madden. Get your head in the game.

Putting a new brain in Newton’s head is the only way ti impact this team.

Someone needs to sit him down and say enough. Quit your moping when you lose and quit your stupid Superman garbage when you win.

Be a pro on and off the field. Try looking at the real successful QB’s. Maybe he will learn something!!!!
