Serious question: what would it take for you to want to get rid of Cam?

Whether by trade, release, not extending his contract, etc, what would make you decide that it's time to move on from Cam? Finishing the season the way he's playing now? Next year being the same as this?

Me? It would take a team giving up a massive haul in a trade, almost RG3-trade like.

If a Godfather trade offer came through, you obviously listen. But it would still be hard to get rid of him, unless he never recovers from the shellacking he's taken this year.

I would still be hesitant to trade him even if a massive trade offer came in. There would have to be another viable option available, whether in the draft or the trade, before I'd do it.

Oh no doubt. The only way I'd even consider trading him is if the offer was some miraculous thing, and we had a nice backup plan.

 

And even then, I honestly still may not do it.

He has already proven he can be a productive QB in NFL.

For me, I would have to be convinced there is a better option. Either a proven veteran Pro Bowler comes here or a legit blue chip draft choice.

Outside of that, which isn't likely, not a whole lot short of a complete implosion after the FO has put better pieces around him

equip cam with a good offensive line. Wide receivers that can create separation, out run linebackers...when the opposing defense successfully covers your receivers with linebackers, you have a problem. Give cam the proper coaching that he obviously needs, that coach must also serve as a mentor, praising cam when he deserves praise and getting in his grill when he gets off track...it's called tough love ( hue jackson would have been perfect). An OC that knows what the fug he's doing, has the ability to call plays that actually bring out the best of our players strength., has the mental aptitude to formulate game plans as well as in-game adjustments. until the panthers equip cam with these necessities it's impossible to properly evaluate him to determine if he is the QB for us. Until then, you don't trade him.

    • Me and you clearly have different definitions of production. If you remove the 2023 season where Thielen had just over 1k yards he is 43rd on our all time receivers list just ahead of Jonathan Mingo. And before you ask why would we remove that season? Well a couple reasons. For one thing we won a whopping 2 games. And for the biggest. Thielen was 14th in targets in 2023. We absolutely force fed him the ball all season and finished with the 32nd passing offense. For comparison sake 33 year old Jerricho Cotchery eclipsed over 1k total yards in just 2 more games and with 67 less targets than Thielen did in that 2023 season. He has above average hands. That's it. We overpaid him because we were desperate and overvalued him. That's the reality no matter how many times you or anyone else wants to quote me and get defensive about it.
    • He's played great and it was a win-win (rare free agent) for both parties.  One of the points is he hasn't made enough difference to "waste" 35 million on. Another point is by the time Panthers are hitting their prime, he would have taken snaps away from young WRs/TEs/RBs. "Thus" in the long term, hurting the teams new future "window."  But I dare think of the monkey poo of a offense the Panthers had without him the past 2 years. Lack of talent leads to many problems, including paying a 35 year old to be somewhat respectable. Hes one of few that cared enough and made a effort. Plus you know he's done great stuff in many other ways for the team, community juggernaut, leadership, etc.  Judgement is for AT and his 3 year panther career!!
    • But it has gotten a little wacky. RBs-https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/contracts/_/position/rb     A couple months ago iggles made Bark the highest guaranteed RB, jeanty was until then. That's what matters the guarantee. A rookie never played a down was the leader, until iggles howie made things right.  If a safety gets drafted in the top 8 or so, he would have the highest money too or very close to it.    Add in TEs and C too.    Even with the fixed %, the numbers are getting too much for a player that's not proven themselves.     Plus anytime a QB is drafted it screws up the contracts for players around and if next year a punter gets drafted at the same 90th spot, they want the same contract with the 5.7% increase. Teams would be laughing.    Its just reached this point. Another 10 years and I bet the vets will be crying.
