Before I switch over to airplane mode, I thought I'd mention this little nugget. Did anybody hear Clinton Portis on WFNZ Primetime yesterday? He is a great listen and is a weekly guest with Moose on Kroeger's show. He seems to think Cam will test the free agent market because of the state of our franchise. Mentioned St Louis/L.A. Rams as a great fit. Discuss.

I have been wondering the same thing lately. You put Cam on most teams and you instantly have an upgrade and much better team. That includes every team in our conference. He is surrounded by junk. We have about five quality players on offense with him . Although our running backs are quality they require lineman to open holes for them. We don't have that.

Gettleman has this offseason to surround Cam with some more talent or I think Cam would be silly not to test free agency.

On the bright side if most of the offseason talent involves a revamped offensive line my whining like a little b$&ch is all for naught.

He is retarded.

You don't think Cam notices the talent that Dalton, Capernick and Luck has surrounding them on the offensive side of the ball?

We are not being honest with ourselves if we do not look at things from an outsiders point of view.

In the end I think he stays, but this offseason will require some touh decisions and retooling of talent.

The state of our franchise is first place in the NFC South coming off a divisional championship.

If Portis looked around he'd see that franchise qb's rarely leave the team that drafts them. On the rare occasion both parties split it's typically because of chronic injuries.

Yeah, St. Louis. Because if there's any model for how to build around a quarterback and win championships in the last decade, it's St. Louis.

Why is everyone in a rush to watch Cam leave?  Cam is going to get PAID here.  The business side of things is that we have to get the cap squared away.  In the next two years (Which Cam is UNDER CONTRACT FOR!!!), we're going to free up a bunch of cash for him, Luke and whoever else.

 

We're having a bad year.  This is the NFL, it happens for most teams.  How often to Franchise QBs leave teams?  What are the circumstances?  Do those circumstances match?  Also, why would the Panthers let Cam walk?  That's why there is a franchise tag, which he would be stuck with regardless.

 

Cam will be a Panther, unless he completely implodes.  I don't see that happening, even with the weak supporting cast this year.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.

      Report: Panthers great Luke Kuechly being eyed for big TV job

      I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
