Many people here are proclaiming this, but I haven't heard Kap say it.

He turned down 7 mil from the Broncos. A legit source claims he wanted 20 mil to play in AA league. Was never confirmed but the truth I believe is somewhere in the middle, I’d say he wants 10-12 at least, AND to start.

I was all in on this if Cam's procedure left us with a ton of question marks still, but so far it is sounding positive. Granted, nothing can be certain until the healing process has been completed, but I would shell out less money for Fitzmagic personally. If Cam's shoulder looked dicey tho, spend the money to bring Kaep in.

If Cam looks bad coming back, bringing in a decent QB (or staying with Cam) and going 7-8, 8-8 would be devastating to the franchise. 2020 QB draft class is one of the best in a long time and I’d rather give a backup experience go 5-11 and get a top 5 pick, that’d help the Panthers more than anything.

You'd be hard pressed to win a locker room by telling them it's time to tank. Pat McAfee had Joe Thomas on his podcast recently and the season that the Browns were tanking for the picks triggered a mental breakdown and almost lost the franchise their star tackle. Would you be willing to try and get Kuechly and company to "take one for the team" so that there was a better chance on the next lotto ticket?

Ron stated that he wants competition for Cam so maybe they do bring him in, tell him there is a legit chance he wins the job. But I don’t see Hurney paying Kaep what he wants knowing he could be nothing but a back-up

Hurney is beginning to prove "the analytical part of my brain takes over the emotional part" & make smart, logical decisions. B/c Hurney is trying to be more logical than emotional, I do not believe he will sign Kaep. Even if Cam is not ready by preseason. Too expensive.

Kaep is likely to demand at least 8-10 Mil/year. Even if it's a one-year deal. A proven back-up like FitzMagic or Tyrod Taylor will sign a cheaper contract around 4-5 Mil a year.

If Hurney is going to use the analytical part more than his emotional part, then he's more likely to sign the proven back-up than Kaepernick.

Besides, we have way too many holes to fill up. We could use that 10 mil for Kaep & sign some valuable FAs.

Yeah, I definitely anticipate there being quite a bit of rust.  But, I still think it saves a draft pick and is a better option than a Heinicke or Allen, again, IF Cam is out.  I still think he'd be a valuable addition as a backup as well.

And without looking it up, I wanted to say he had another resurgence for a few weeks under Chip Kelly as well, but ended up getting injured, IIRC.  And I want to say I saw or heard an interview somewhere in which Kelly said he was a great QB, but again, had been dealing with injuries or something along those lines.  I'll see if I can find it.

Hasn't Kaep turned down back-up jobs? I personally believe that he turned down jobs for back-up positions because he felt he could make more money in his collusion case. I think Carolina is the only place that makes sense for him as a back-up because the offense is already suited to a dual threat QB. Many other teams would struggle should Kaep be forced into action because then the entire offense needs rework.

Us efficiency experts know that rework is bad.

He has never specifically said it... however, based on the offers he has refused, it's safe to assume that he wants to get paid like a starting QB.  He's worth in the range of $3-$5 million per year.  He's probably expecting $7 - $9 million per year.

A 3 year, $10-$12 milion deal would be good for him.  I assure you he would never sign anywhere for that price.

So tired of these BS answers. Look, we can't get back to back winning seasons here in Carolina to save our lives. I want players who can play at a proper cost. If CK comes in at the vet minimum to show he still has NFL chops, then sure bring him in. He is a better option than anything we have backing up right now. I don't watch football for politics. I can separate how I feel vs how some athlete feels about different stances. The dude has like 80 career touchdown to like 30 interceptions. That is far better than Kyle Allen and co. He wouldn't be coming here to start for us because Cam Newton is a better player. He would be a backup. For the dudes saying they would rather have Nathan Peterman than CK you are putting politics before the actual games. That guy is garbage and doesn't deserve to be in the NFL. If they cause issues and are distractions then cut them. But CK is likely a better option at backup QB than a lot of guys.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
