It's tempting, but I think he'd disrupt the leadership equation in the locker room and put too much of a temptation to pull Fitz after his first bad game on the coaches. We've got a weird but workable chemistry right now with our QBs and huddles where nobody is second guessing Fitz for the first time in his football career. I think we just need to ride the season out with that, come what may. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What about as a 3rd/4th down wildcat option???? Cam is a stud in those situations. Could you imagine going from Haskins/Alex/Kyle to Fitz/Cam/TH? In all seriousness, I would not sign Cam Newton but there are ways we could use him to make our offense more dynamic....similar to things that NO does with Taysom Hill. Cam is a big dude who isn't afraid of running into piles and would provide the pass element too. Anyone remember Cam saying that he and Scott Turner were working on lots of new stuff before RR got canned in Carolina? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cam was extraordinarily mediocre to me for the past few years. ummmm no.....no chance I would go Kyle Allen over Cam. Cam is a redzone nightmare and offers offensive versatility. I would have prefered Montez over Kyle Allen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate to say it but without the ability to run people over I don't think Cam would help much. Too bad for him. His body took a beating in some good years for Carolina but the human body can only take so much. That's why I favor QBs who mostly play in the pocket. I don't think Josh Allen will play long if he doesn't learn to stay in the pocket more. I'd rather have a Joe Burrow myself. Even though he got hurt his legs aren't what makes him a good QB.

Aside from the three you mentioned, AH was a lock and a virtual request to have from fitz, Cam is the big target the team needs and that’s already 5. Now if they keep Carter I’d question it unless he’s the full time PR. Rarely do highly-touted WR cut after one season remain unsigned. Haskins after 2 seasons was a disaster in every sense and even he got snatched up almost immediately. Terry Samuel Humphries Brown Sims Milne Carter Keep 7 WR's and 3 RB's.....let Curtis handle some RB duties, Carter returns punts and kicks.

CTskin Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 So happy to see barber cut, I was worried that the staff had some incomprehensible love for the guy. Now, what’s the deal with carter? With kickoffs essentially eliminated from the game, there’s no justification I’d buy for keeping him over Milne. I love humphries, the dude is seriously talented, but he’s also guaranteed to miss time with some injury. Milne needs to make the squad to backup the slot. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apke took on the challenge of a new position and was able to change minds about him. He was probably one of the surest cuts of the offseason at one point. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

“Misdirection” Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Some of these decisions make it clear to me that not everyone can be kept on potential alone. Sometimes keeping a guy like Apke, who can play multiple positions (how well.. we’ll see), and is a special teams contributor, is very valuable. If he never becomes a starter, but improves enough to not be a liability and play STs until his speed wanes… that’s a valuable commodity because his price tag will never be up. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ehh, I'd say his value on special teams is why he is on the roster and that shouldn't be down played. I have a strong suspicion that Reyes will be IR'd and stashed day after tomorrow when that is allowed. Makes room to bring someone back or someone new in. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peregrine Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I see Apke already has the "Oh yeah I must be good on special teams?" cover story working well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
