Realistically, how much time does he have left with the Panthers? Assuming he signs with Carolina for the rest of his career? 

 

At what point does the organization start to look for his replacement? 

 

I think the days of "Grooming" a QB are long gone. You see more of the trial by fire now and it's really hit or miss but lately it's been working for several teams. 

 

What say you?

It's a tough point imo, because if he can still play why would you look to replace him? At the same time, it's best to always be prepared.

At this point, finding a young QB2 that can develop behind him on a low cost rookie deal looks the most appealing. It doesn't create a controversy, it gets the position checked off, and if something does happen to Cam there's somebody who can try and bring the plane in for the landing.

A big telling point is going to be how negotiations for an extension go. If he's looking to go elsewhere, he can and will. If the team isn't willing to pay him, they need to be ready.

I'm not sold on the back up off the bench deal. Sure Rodgers was a back up but most teams draft guys in the top 5.

By next years draft we're going to have to make a move for a possible QB of the future to hopefully learn some things from Newton for however long he has left.

But I really chuckle at how eager people are about this, and how easy they think it's going to be. As if after watching a laundry list of bad teams wallow in misery, and failure for the last decade or more without a QB leads some to think that just won't happen to us at all in any way.

To me every other year or so a team with a franchise QB should invest a day 3 pick on the QB position. Reason being you get two years to eval and move on at minimal cost, but you keep churning the position looking. 

Grooming QB's still exists, but MOST teams will not allow a threat to be on the roster unless they're internally ready to move on from the starter. (GB, KC, BAL) are some of the more recent examples of teams that had Franchise QB's (Favre, Smith, Flacco) but management was ready to move on. 

I don't think we'll be at the point for a few more years Cam's health being the main factor, and it finally seems as if they ''get it'' now as the OL is finally getting some attention.

Agree with this.

I know Cam has run a lot in his career but he's been pretty damn good at not getting blasted and getting down early in recent years. Most of the lethal blows hes gotten were from him standing in the pocket. 

30 isn't old for a QB and Cam looks after his health much better than a lot of other QBs do. I would say if Cam's shoulder is okay he could play well into his late 30s if he wants to. 

Hard to say if I see Cam changing teams. Depends on how much he wants for his new contract, whether the team will be willing to pay that, and especially whether his shoulder is good this season to throw long passes again.

Ideally the Panthers would want to extend Cam during Summer 2020 I'd guess since 2020 season is the last one on his current contract.

      DJ Moore trade talk

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Yes, he's a tier above them, but you also touched on the money side of it.  With T-Mac locked in as our #1 on a rookie contract for a few more years, I'd much rather use that money that would be needed for DJ on our defense and develop Coker into our #2.   Especially given his contract situation as an UDFA, as his contract is up at the end of this year but we can keep him around for a 3rd team controlled year on the real cheap.  Which means we probably could get him to sign a very reasonable extension this offseason to give him a little more money while giving us a bargain contract for what he provides. DJ's contract is north of $20 million for the next 5 years, why pay that for your #2 WR with the needs we have on defense and you have guys like Coker, XL, and Horn on rookie contracts who very well could combine to be a serviceable 2-4 WRs behind a stud in T-mac? I love DJ and he'd be a great fit on this team as our #2, but the money side of it just makes absolutely zero sense, that's all it comes down to for me on this one. And no, I don't see the Bears wanting XL back in that trade, because they drafted Burden, who is essentially a better version of what XL provides, a player you want to get the ball into their hands and let them go to work.

      This has to be bitached about, those biased refs

      By fanpanther · Posted

      I didnt see that many bad calls in the panthers cowboys game, but the chiefs especially in the playoffs were getting every single call they could get then the refs when it didnt matter would throw a call towards the other teams.  That I believe was the taylor swift effect.   But its crazy just thinking about how easy it is to change a game.  You dont need but a single ref to make a few close calls go towards one team over the other and in the nfl that is the game.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By CRA · Posted

      I don't think it's unrealistically blaming Bryce Young......to say has been a reason, sometimes a big one, in why our pass offense overall has been extremely week over the past 3 collective seasons.  I think that bothering anyone, is just being overly invested in some Bryce Young argument.  It's just a reality.
