As camps begin to open, only the Panthers are reportedly willing to consider his services di lui &#8211; as a backup to Sam Darnold.<\/p>\n<p>When Darnold went down with a shoulder injury last season, the team signed Newton &#8211; who had been cut by the Patriots during 2021 training camp but was the centerpiece of the Panthers&#8217; offense from 2011-18.  He scored on his first two touches, but struggled thereafter, going 0-5 with four touchdowns and five interceptions.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I signed on Thursday.  I played on Sunday, \u2033 Newton said.  \u201cAt what point did you think you was going to be successful?  The next week, I started.  That&#8217;s still under 10 days of you being on the team.  And you&#8217;re still trying to learn the offense.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;So before I sit up here and allow the narrative to be made that Cam ain&#8217;t got it no more, Cam is taking full responsibility and saying Cam put himself in af \u2013 ked up situation.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><figcaption>Cam Newton asserted he&#8217;s still an NFL starter on &#8220;The Pivot.&#8221;<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">The Pivot<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>He echoed the sentiment when talking about his time in New England, saying he didn&#8217;t get much of a chance to learn the offense after joining the team in June 2020. In 15 games as a starter &#8211; taking over for Tom Brady &#8211; Newton guided the Patriots to a 7-8 record, throwing for eight touchdowns and running for 12 more with 10 interceptions.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe New England experience was af \u2013 ked up situation,\u201d Newton said.  &#8220;I was still learning the offense seven to eight weeks into the season.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Newton&#8217;s claims received plenty of pushback from Channing Crowder, one of the three ex-NFLers who host &#8220;The Pivot Podcast.&#8221;<\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" width=\"1024\" height=\"682\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/cam-newton-panthers-patriots-eff-up.jpg?resize=1024%2C682&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Quarterback Cam Newton # 1 of the Carolina Panthers scores on a 2-yard rushing touchdown \" class=\"wp-image-22571297\" srcset=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/cam-newton-panthers-patriots-eff-up.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=1535 1536w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/cam-newton-panthers-patriots-eff-up.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all 1024w, https:\/\/nypost.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2022\/06\/cam-newton-panthers-patriots-eff-up.jpg?quality=75&amp;strip=all&amp;w=512 512w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\"\/><figcaption>Newton called his most recent time with the Panthers and Patriots &#8216;f \u2013 ked up&#8217; situations.<\/figcaption><figcaption><span class=\"credit\">Getty Images<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>\u201cYou are 33 years old,\u201d Crowder said.  &#8220;You done got old.
