If Derek Anderson is done, then at least he could hold his head high that he was the best QB the Browns has had this millenium. Take that as you will.

Move on? He’s got 3 years left, let’s not get crazy yet. Amazing deal for 3 more years. Glad he’s got some endorsements as well to cushion the difference with other QBs.

It takes 3 years to groom most young QBs to start.

 

Smart people make contingency plans and not let emotions dictate their actions. No one wants Cam to leave in three years, but it could happen. We need a contingency.

Yep, and if Cam re-signs, we have a huge trade chip.

Our new owner doesn't strike me as the type to have the words "record contract" or "highest paid at his position" associated with his team.

Lol where are you even getting this from? How many current starting QBs sat their first 3 years? Or even their first full season? Like....4? 5?

Pretty much. If you need 3 years to groom a qb to start, he's probably of very good

According to ESPN Jets reporter Rich Cimini, Teddy Bridgewater's trade value is "trending upward."

Cimini said the former Viking was "one of the bright spots" at last week's OTAs. The Jets originally signed Bridgewater with the intent of trading him for a draft pick, but Cimini cautions that coach Todd Bowles will start the best quarterback and that could very well be Bridgewater. Even in the unlikely event that he does win the starting job this summer, Bridgewater would just be keeping the seat warm for first-round rookie Sam Darnold.

I’d trade a sixth for Dobbs.

I totally support this! As a Tennessee fan, I think I’m pretty realistic about Vols in the league. You might remember I was not happy about Gaulden in the third!

Dobbs made big plays with NO coaching! Butch Jones was a train wreck of a gameday coach. He’ll never be a pro bowler, but he absolutely could be a stellar backup option for an offense like ours.

I don't wish Mr. Anderson ill at all.

But he's DONE.

So, with regard to the NFL and the Panthers specifically, I don't care.

But I still wish him a long and productive life, post-NFL.

It's got to be tough for some of these guys to hang up their cleats.  Maybe DA is one of those who can stay in football through coaching.  Anyway, he was a good Panther and I'm glad he was part of the team.

Most all of them that were not high draft picks.  And even most of those who were high picks would have greatly benefited by sitting for a while.  

Every QB that comes into the league needs work.  But those that are picked later have obvious flaws that compound the need to sit, listen, watch, and learn.  So, unless you advocate taking a QB high, it would be advantageous to take a mid-round guy and groom for a couple of years before Cam's contract is up.  And if Cam re-signs, then we have a huge draft trade chip that we can use to get a much better pick than we gave up for him.  

By the way, if we do pick a QB, it would only be about two years to sit before Cam's contract is up.
