Andy Benoit Aims To Start a QB Controversy in Carolina

Healthy cam is a top 10 qb, consistent cam is top 6-7, any qb gunning for the starting job have fun competing against that. That production doesn’t fall off trees. I’m not a fan of one injury and he’s done narrative that the media is pushing, luck and tannerhill both missed a good portion of 2 years, yet the narrative isn’t that there teams should dump them

I would like to share of the optimism of the responders to the original message regarding Cam. However, his arm issue dates back to his surgery and did not start midway through this season. He really has not thrown deep since 2015. And in the few instances he did throw deep his throws fluttered and were at times wildly inaccurate.

I am very worried. I suspect that the Panthers' braintrust is also worried.

Honestly, it's shitty/shittier logic...Nobody on this forum, a talking head or (hopefully not true) the team staff know what the issue with Cam's shoulder is. Regardless of the line performance, which has been shitty, anyone watching Cam, can see he has an issue. 

In reality he needs to be diagnosed and treated, before that happens there is no way a team would give anything for him. 

Even more so, I want him to be diagnosed/treated and be a panther for life.

I mean... Spotrac has been saying that 2019 would be the soonest "out" if things went awry.

The only QB from this class that I would be interested in is Dwayne Haskins, and would much rather high picks go towards addressing the lines. Hopefully, Haskins goes back and then we have a shot at him next season if things don't work for Cam.

*2016

He got hurt near the end of 2016 in meaningless games 'cause of Rivera.

    • So dumb I get it, they want to expand the reach of the NFL, but it's not the right sport to be playing games halfway around the world for a variety of reasons.   But one of the main ones is what happens if a player has an injury in that game? A lot of times, you're not supposed to fly right after some injuries, so when they happen here it's not a big deal, the player stays in that town for a few days and then flys home separately.  But that opens a whole bag of worms if the game is played all the way out in Australia. Plus just needing that long of a flight to get out there and back, even if they get a bye week after, it means a ton of travel and needing to adjust to a new time zone directly after another game.
    • I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
