Large, mobile quarterbacks do not last in the NFL. Let's just start right there with that little bit of knowledge. Ben Roethlisberger is nearing the end of his career at an early age, and he is probably the best example of big quarterbacks with durability. What does that tell you?

Although Cam Newton is only 27 years old, Jason Smith believes that we are much closer to the end of his career than we are to the start of it. In three years Cam Newton will be done as a quarterback in this league.

While I want to flip and out call this stupid and rant for days there is some truth to this if the team keeps letting Cam get beat to hell pretending to be a battering ram with the entire offense strapped to it's back. A human can only take so much punishment before they breakdown and while Cam is more super than most he is still just a man.

The Panthers have done a terrible job surrounding him with talent and the NFL referees have done a terrible job of protecting him as a QB and the Panthers are complicit in that because they just sit back and accept it as an organization. Could you imagine the hell that a Robert Craft or Jerry Jones would be raising if their star QB's head was treated like a piñata every Sunday with nary a flag in sight?

      Lol. The Texans are literally one of Bryce's six career NFL wins. WTF are you talking about?

      Yeah, I mean it is a statistical fact and also part of literally a player evaluation. Winston has literally lost dozens of games in his NFL career due to crippling TO's. It's just who he is. Look, it's fun when those insane throws work and he is leading you back from some crazy deficit. But those success are rare. It's why his career GWD count is so low. He's fun but he is fundamentally built to lose games.  If you are talking about a backup QB, you are literally already losing in the first place. That's how you see a backup QB and that's overwhelmingly what they tend to do. Rookie QB's almost always benefit from veteran QB's. Same as literally any other position in the NFL. Why do you think that you so often hear that from the playera themselves? As for Bryce NEEDING one, no he sure as poo shouldn't this late in the game. But he also shouldn't have needed this fuging long to get his fuging footwork straightened out either. Yet here we are.

      Comfortability is the primary reason. They don't want to hurt Bryce's confidence. But I say if his confidence is that fragile that healthy competition which makes everyone better is enough for them to keep making Andy Dalton rich then Bryce was never going to be the guy anyway. Give me the QB who sees the competition amongst his peers and uses it to take it to the next level. Instead we get the guy who comes out looking like a deer in the headlights against the Texans after we've done everything possible to appease him. Definition of complacency.
