Cam Newton Released

[Nexx]

Newton can't throw the ball downfield anymore. He never had great throwing mechanics (too much upper body movement prior to throwing the ball), and his shoulder injury only made things worse. Is he better than Cooper Rush? Yes. Is that a good measuring stick? Not at all.

watching his preseason highlights he looks like he has more zip on his passes than Dak does

 

[Hawkeye0202]

Worked for Andy!

Exactly.........

 

[TwoCentPlain]

Because he's not good and hasn't been for many years now.

Well, good is a relative term. Compared to what is out there?

 

[kskboys]

I watched two of his games this preseason. He can throw the ball twice a well with twice the velocity of Cooper Rush. However, way too much drama. Hard to believe a rookie is going to start for NE.

Now, if he could only determine WHERE to throw it!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BB is ruthless.

Cam’s contract was fully guaranteed at signing. It seems much more likely Cam requested it

He's one of the worst. W/o his running ability, he's Ryan Leaf.

Yeah Cam doesn’t want to be a backup. He’s always said there isn’t 32 better QBs than him.

I could see him retiring.

you are right but is he better than our back up is the question and is it worth affecting locker room chemistry. I don't want him here but i wouldn't get too upset if he were brought in as i know that's an upgrade on our current back ups

Why??????? Pretty sure Belichick is telling this he'll care of the defense. He just needs him to manage a low risk offense.

 

[FVSTONE]

Happy tails to you, until we meet again........................ That's a no go on CN, don't need a FORMER whiner yelling on the sidelines, "PUT ME IN COACH"!

 

[aikemirv]

Now this is a lesson on completely contradictory thoughts in just 2 sentences!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Well that's just how bad Cooper Rush is!

 

[Bizwah]

This would be a good addition. I don't see it happening. I think Cam will go to one of the teams that has a muddier QB situation.

My fear is he goes to Washington. That makes too much sense.

I'm guessing he's humbled a bit by this ..........IF he chose to sign as a backup, I don't think he'll be a problem at all. Cam's not stupid, a backup job can be an opportunity if you play your cards right.

They have Fitz and Heineke. They are pretty high on Heineke

IF Riveria wanted Cam, he would have signed him before bring him Fitz

 

[BigBlacKahuna]

He’s better than our backups. I’d give him a call.

For a 3rd stringer, what do you want?

 

[MyFairLady]

Dude is flat out terrible now. Even if he came with a time machine I think I would still pass.

 

[Stash]

Wow.


He’s definitely better than any backups we have.

 

[Typhus]

Sign him ASAP, fire up the Jet Jerry
