Totally agree on the skill sets and its not his talent that holds Cam back. Cam is a slave to his emotions and while there are times that being that works to his advantage Sean Payton is a lot like Yoda and isnt willing to work with just anyone.

Sean has a type and its not Cam Newton.. None of these guys are self serving show boats that want spotlight.
Drew Brees
Teddy Bridgewater
Taysom Hill
Luke McCown
Marc Brunell

Sean is the same way with receivers.. Jimmy was a spectacle after a TD with the dunk but put a mic in front of him and he is subdued and articulate. Colston, Thomas, Kamara, Ingram... none are flamboyant publicly.

Here is one I heard come out of Cam's mouth: "You look good, you play good; you play good, they pay good" I've so much to say about that statement lol

You may not realize it but Cam is often injured... Since 2016 he has only had one 16 game season. I will give him this though, when he is healthy the Panthers record is a whole lot better than if he doesn't start 16...
