Cam Newton Shows You Can Go Home Again

NFL Week 11 -

Andrew: Hello and welcome back to Scramble for the Ball, where this week finds your humble Scrambleteers gazing wistfully at a two-touchdown "second debut" from a certain colorfully-bedecked character, and wondering "what if?"

Bryan: Who said you can't go home again? There's just something right about seeing Cam Newton in Carolina blue once more, and he looked just like the Cam of old in his limited goal-line work. Considering the Panthers still have $17 million in dead cap from Newton's replacement, Teddy Bridgewater, and are on the hook next season for $19 million for Newton's replacement's replacement, Sam Darnold, it is low-key hilarious that the answer to Matt Rhule's ongoing quarterback search might well be the guy he didn't want to begin with.
