He is a second rounder at best.  Watch and see.

I'm more concerned with his decision making. If he doesn't improve upon it, I don't think that it will be too long (relatively) before he's sent packing, ordered by Tepper after consultation with his people.

He was a Heisman finalist.

A lot of folks scream like banshees at the notion that Tepper would even consider moving on from Newton.

I surmise that you're not one of them.

No he wasn’t.  WTF

Simple fact of the matter is that no one can truly say what the status of his shoulder is unless you’re a healthcare professional working directly with him. As a healthcare professional who specializes in human anatomy and movement I can tell you that no two individual cases are identical, particularly when it comes to cases dealing with the shoulder.

 

Shoulder injuries, particularly RCR’s take months  (often longer) to get a full return in function, strength, mobility, etc. Could be lingering aggravation or potential exacerbation from the original injury and surgery or to a lesser extent it could be weekly fatigue and soreness by games end. He’s not just throwing 20-40 times in one week, people.

 

Ultimately, until Cam himself comes out and says he is in talks with the surgeon, I would give it a rest on all the assumptions because we know what assuming does for folks.

He finished fourth in Heisman voting. Look it up.

[Tbe]

A few years. 3-4 maybe. This means he shouldn’t get a new contract.

I call top four a finalist. But regardless of what you call it, a guy who finishes fourth in Heisman voting doesn't "suck".

Grier does not suck.  Don't think he is going to be a Panther, but he doesn't suck.

Without knowing the true status of his shoulder, hard to say.  Assuming the injury just requires rest and he comes back from it completely, I think he still has several more years of top level play and a few after that of playing well too.  

No quarterback is going to look better behind this line...

I don't see much chance of it. I think he'd make a great guy to groom as a successor (and a nice story in that he's a Charlotte kid who grew up a Panther fan) but I seriously doubt it happens.

The thing that concerns me now is that there might not be as much time to groom a successor as we previously thought.

A kid comes out of Charlotte and he is the next coming, it’s really kinda cute but I want no part of him as a franchise QB.
