Cam Newton's Career as a Starting Quarterback is Over

Listen to Jason Smith explain why he not only thinks Cam Newton’s career as a starting quarterback is over, but why he thinks Newton could retire from the league as soon as this upcoming offseason if Newton doesn’t like the available options in a free agency period that was already bleak last year.

Newton finished 2020 with the 30th ranked QBR, dead last in passing yards per game, and an unsightly 8/10 touchdown-to-interception ratio, which included 3 TD's in his Week 17 victory over the Jets. In 9 of Newton’s 15 starts he failed to even throw one touchdown.
