 If you find yourself in the same situation, then maybe it's time to change your mindset and how you look at stuff and how you go about stuff. Cam Newton, a situation that he finds himself in, he's a free agent. The situation that he wants to find himself in is being a starter. Now, there are not really any jobs available, none that I can think of. The only one maybe would be for the Dolphins, but I think they'll run with Fitzpatrick until Tua is ready to go. I don't think they're going to rush him, but hey, we'll see. And I can't even call it a rush necessarily just because he's a rookie, but just because of everything going on right now. So obviously things are a bit different, but we'll see what happens with that. But as far as Cam Newton, him being a starter somewhere, it's not many places I can really think of off the top of my head. I mean, you could say the Jaguars possibly, if he could land in Chicago, he could compete with Foles and Trebisky, but I don't see them carrying three quarterbacks of that caliber. But regardless, Cam is still looking for employment. Now today, Ian Rappaport, he said that Cam Newton is not opposed. He is not against it and he would not mind taking a backup role. And obviously his preference would be to be a starter. I mean, as anybody in the NFL, I don't think any player in the NFL, especially if you have experience being a starter, but I don't think anybody in the NFL goes into the league thinking, oh man, I want to be a backup so bad, I can't wait to be a backup. This is great. I don't think anybody goes in with a mindset like that. If they do, I mean, I wouldn't hold it against them, but as a quarterback who's been here, done this, and played in every single type of game that there is to play in, I don't think at this point in his career he would want to be a backup. But you got to adapt, man. You got to adapt. And I wouldn't be mad at him if he continued to just wait for an opportunity to be a starter. Unfortunately, like I always say, the worst part about football is injuries. So if he was to wait until somebody got hurt and then a position came available, he could do that. He could, but he would run the risk of that team potentially having somebody else on their roster who had been through the offseason with them, who had been through training camp and everything, who had been through some games and been through just everything that goes into preparing for a game. So they've been had to play book, they acclimated with the players and whatnot with the coaching with the staff and all that stuff. So they would have a slight advantage over him, but he could do that. But now it's getting to the point where it's like, slim pickings, really no pickings for starting jobs. So you may have to just take what you can get. And I'm not sure if any teams have been in communication with Cam Newton. I'm not sure if any teams have reached out to Cam Newton. I'm not sure of what has happened with Cam Newton whatsoever. But one thing that I think should happen, which I think would be a very good opportunity for Cam Newton, would be if he put on that number one jersey and it was black and gold or black and yellow, whatever the colors are, black and yellow, there we go. I think the best opportunity for Cam Newton would be to go to the Pittsburgh Steelers. And the reason I say that is because they obviously have a really good defense. So their defense is set. So Cam Newton, the defense would take care of them. They would force turnovers. They would hold opponents. They would handle their business. And then Cam, you got guys like Juju. You got James Connor. You have James Washington. So you got your little deep thread and whatnot. And now you have, is it LeVishka, you know? Who did they draft? No, not Chase Claypool. Chase Claypool, that's the one that they drafted, Chase Claypool. But you have some weapons there. Now I know a lot of people may say, wait, big Ben's coming back. And that he is. He spent the majority of last season on Inja Reserve. And that was a tough blow for the Steelers. I think had big Ben played, had he been there, I think Steelers make play-offs for sure because that was literally the only thing holding them back. It was just some bad QB play. They had the defense. They had a decent running game when they did decide to run the ball. They, yeah, they were set. But bad QB play just took them out. You know, me as a Raven fan, I wasn't complaining. But with big Ben, they're a lot better team. But the one thing with big Ben, he gets hurt a lot. And the fact that he gets hurt a lot and has been hurt a lot and is up there in age, because it's like this dude, he could retire any second now. Any second he could retire. And I don't think it'll be, it won't be this year, obviously. But with big Ben, he's up there in age, his body is, ooh, it hasn't been through it. It has been through it. And it's crazy, if you look back at old pictures of big Ben, then you look at him now, it's like, whoa, whoa, you are big Ben. But, and I know the little funny story came out today about his workout regimen, or really lack of workout regimen. But anyway, I think it will be a very good opportunity for Cam Newton to go into a backup role. But I think he will still end up, he could still end up having a possibility of getting a playing time. I don't want to say, oh yeah, big Ben is going to get hurt for sure. No, I'm not saying that. But he has been a lot and it would just, that would be what I would feel would be the smartest situation for Cam Newton. Now, I know they got Hodges, I know they got Mason Rudolph, but yeah. And I think Mason Rudolph would be the one to stay if they were to bring on a Cam Newton. I think whether they wanted to stash Devin Hodges, they put them on Endure Reserve, or whether they wanted to trade him away for a low draft pick or conditional draft pick, then I think Cam Newton could come in there and compete with Mason Rudolph to be the backup quarterback. And I'm, I mean, I'm pretty sure Cam Newton will win that battle. But I just think that that situation almost makes too much sense for him at this point, too much sense. He goes into an organization that's, it's pretty well run. Still, let's take care of business, goes to a team that's, they're ready to compete. He goes, he sits behind Big Ben, signs a one year deal, sign a one year deal. So at the end of this year, you're a free agent. It just, to me, it just makes too much sense. And you would know that again, you have a real shot at playing because of who's in front of you. You got a real shot at playing Andy Dalton with his situation. I know a lot of people that, oh, Andy Dalton's better than Dak Prescott. Everybody's entitled to their own opinion. But with Andy Dalton, if Dak Prescott will win, Dak Prescott comes back. That's his job. Dak Prescott has been very healthy. Um, so he's not injury prone to Andy Dalton's going there like knowing he's a backup. James Winston, that's Drew Brees job. He goes in there knowing that he's a backup. He knows it. Nick Foles, well, he got traded, so it was a little different. But I, but that's Mr. Biskie. So Nick Foles might end up being the starter, but, but anyway, you get my point. These guys have been going into these situations, knowing that they're the backup. Yeah, an opportunity may present itself, but they know that they're the backup. So with Cam Newton, since pickings are less than slim right now for starting positions and even anywhere that he went, he would have to compete for a starting job. Like I said, the biggest chance, I think that he could end up being a starter will be if he went to the Jacksonville Jaguars, but it seems like they got somebody on their mind next year in the draft. Maybe one Trevor Lawrence. Well, we'll see. We'll see. Um, but Cam, uh, this, this report coming out today that he's willing to take on a backup role, no surprise, no surprise, no shocker. And again, it just, it just makes sense. Why not? Why not? Because a backup role would be a much more significant role on the team than he has right now. Cause he doesn't have a team. And again, it does suck how the situation played itself out, um, with the Panthers and they did do him nasty. Uh, they released him at a very bad time. Um, but life isn't fair. Unfortunately, um, things happen to all of us that aren't fair. And you just, you got to deal with it. You got to roll with the punches, man. So we're going to see what happens with killer Cam Newton. And until then, we'll just continue to wait, but team, keep it clean. I appreciate y'all. I love y'all. Happy schedule release day. I will see you all, uh, once some schedule start coming out officially. And then until then I'm out.
