Cam haters, what could we realistically get in a trade for Cam?

This is a question for the people who have suggested we think about trading him. I would never trade him because he is my favorite player in the NFL and the reason I root for the Panthers. But lets say if we shock the league and put him on the trade block what would he fetch and what teams would be interested?

I could easily see the Giants/Jaguars/Bengals being at the top of this list as those are teams who have a playoff roster and could use a franchise QB like Cam Newton. I think those 3 teams would easily give up 2 1st round picks and possibly more for a 29 year old QB.

 

Cam bashers what you think?

I'm not in favor of trading Newton, but there are two things I think we have to admit.

1) With a new owner, likely a new coach and possibly a new GM next season, his being traded is an actual possibility.

2) Even if he isn't traded next season, Tepper may not be willing to break the bank for his next contract.

There is the real possibility that next season's Panthers will be run by a group of leaders who have no ties to Newton's drafting or his previous career here. The notion that they may want "their own guy" is not out of the question.

Me? I wouldn't trade him. If I did, I'd be looking at something like the Herschel Walker trade as a template.

The more likely scenario for parting ways with Newton though comes when his contract is up. Tepper's Steeler background makes it less likely he'll spend crazy money on any position, quarterback included. if Newton and his agent are looking for a record contract, Tepper might not be willing to oblige.

Sorry folks, but much as it sucks to admit, whether we want it or not, yeah it could happen.

Sure, all that is possible. Just like it’s possible I find an envelop full of cash in the parking lot on my way to work.

Tepper wants to win. Trading away m/moving on from your franchise quarterback while he is right smack dab in the middle of his prime hasn’t exactly proven to be a recipe for winning.

Cam is more than value on the field. He is marketing and brings a ton of value off the field and on the business side

Yeah I agree, he is box office. He has hype surrounding him, that along is worth 2 1st round picks. Then his on field value is worth a couple of more picks or possibly a good player.

I typically don't ask dumb people and/or racists to expound on their thoughts. 

It wouldn't be fun if we didn't make them feel part of the discussion. These is like an early Christmas gift for them, lets let them have fun in this pipedream thread.lol

Technically, the Broncos won a Super Bowl after parting ways with Jay Cutler.

The wild card here is Newton's shoulder. If it turns out to have significant damage by the end of this season, the concept of parting ways with him becomes very real.

I don't really believe that will happen though.

Now, Tepper being unwilling to shell out a huge contract when Newton's current deal ends? That, I think, is a very realistic scenario.

I think that second part only manifests itself IF Newton’s shoulder is indeed injured beyond repair and something he’ll just have to deal with/manage moving forward.

The wildcard is the way the NFL is now. If Tepper is as “analytical” as he says he is and teams continue to prove they can have immediate success with QBs on rookie deals then yeah there is probably a case to be made.

All still seems very unlikely, at least for right now.

The Steelers don't have to break the bank because they draft well enough that few players have any leverage against them.

So if, sometime in the next two years, we use a high draft pick on a quarterback, might be a reason.

    • I can say that I have defended Canales because I get that they are doing all they can to keep from looking like idiots for drafting Bryce, from the trade up to signing $150m guards to drafting XL and Brooks etc---nothing seems to work.  And Hiring Canales was part of the Bryce Young rehab program, so so he can't really decide to "move on."  That has to come from Morgan and Tepper. Personally, I think Bryce is due for an injury.  He is small, he is not thick, and he has been a LOT more healthy than most any other QB has who has endured so much pressure.  The thing that bothers me is this---Bryce really does not go through his progressions quickly.  He locks on to his presnap read and stays locked onto him for too long--he seems to fail to anticipate the WR/TE's positioning on the play before the cut--for example, if the WR is running a dig and the CB has his back to the inside of the field, he should be open for a second or less just after the cut.  He seems to wait until the cut has been made before deciding, then checking down quickly while moving in the pocket. OL:  There seems to be a lack of communication--is that on Mays?  Watch this team presnap--they seem a bit confused at times.   I can almost predict the success rate of the play by watching the center and QB before the snap.  
    • Anyone else remember back in 2010 when Fox piloted having music under the in-game replays during one of Carolina's games? Not the commercial bumpers but the actual replay clips that the announcers would talk over. Pretty sure it was vs the 49ers. And it was terrible. Point being, Carolina continues being so bad that we get the networks trying things out during their games.
    • Is it bad I found this video more hilarious than pathetic? I am still laughing at that one play where half the people on the field ran into each other and Bryce still couldn't see Chuba wide open... Also laughing at Cade blocking nobody and somehow losing his cleat Man this offense is a poo show
