It’s hard to think where the Carolina Panthers franchise would be right now if Cam Newton wasn’t drafted by the team or never existed.
He had more than one season playing at a MVP level, and was at the top of his game a few years back when he led the Panthers to the Super Bowl 50, losing to the Broncos and Peyton Manning.
While Newton has had two very tough seasons due to injury, the team decided to move on, dumping him this offseason in what seems to have become a battle on social media and elsewhere.
The Panthers Wednesday fired another shot, going on Twitter to ask their fans who they think is the “G.O.A.T.” of the franchise.
The choices are: Julius Peppers, Steve Smith and Luke Kuechly.
Absent from the list – and by design – Newton.

While there’s no doubt that Peppers, Smith and Kuechly were great and valuable players for the Panthers franchise, not having Newton on the list is a total joke.
Let’s not forget the way that Newton could take over a game back when he was able to play at a MVP level.
It’s crazy to think that there is that much bad blood between Newton and the team that they wouldn’t include him in this list – but right now that’s where things with the Panthers and the QB stand – right or wrong.
With out cam Newton we not going anywhere
