Gantt's take (link)

Quote

The Panthers have a former MVP quarterback, but he’s coming off shoulder surgery and only has two years left on his contract.

So it makes sense that they’re looking at options there.

...

They saved a little money (on Grier's visit), since he grew up near Charlotte, but he’s one of several quarterbacks they’ve done their research on (including a visit by Auburn’s Jarrett Stidham).

While they might not be prepared to look for (or admit looking for) a long-term replacement for Cam Newton, they at least need a better grade of backup, as the options on hand are Taylor Heinicke and Kyle Allen.

This place would implode if we took a QB at #47

I think people should think what if Cam's shoulder does the same thing. Are u saying u think we can go to playoffs with Kyle Allen lmao. People are crazy to think what he did against saints makes him the backup. I hope we get Grier he is the sleeper QB of the draft. People need to wake up and understand that Cam might not be ever right again.

If we take a QB earlier than the 4th with needs all over the roster that pretty much confirms there are serious concerns about Cam's shoulder within the Panthers' organization. Based on the past two seasons, that wouldn't necessarily be surprising.

Sorry but Kyle Allen isn't the answer and we can't keep waisting these guys careers. Luke & CMC need a championship.

Spending a 2nd or 3rd on a guy who will never see the field would be the worst decision possible

Unless the team knows something we don’t about Cam’s shoulder situation...

Stidham is interesting.

That completion percentage dropped drastically this year but his TD/INT ratio was almost identical. I'd also say that the drop in his completion percentage could also be due to the fact that Auburn had to be pretty darn close to having the worst drop rate in the NCAA last year, his receivers dropped everything.

The offense he was in this year was pretty basic and boring (similar to the offense that Clausen was in) but he did show the prior year that he has the ability to not only make NFL throws but also cycle through his reads.

I'd prefer Grier but I wouldn't take a QB before the 4th round. Stidham could more than likely be had in the 5th.

Not necessarily, it all depends on the QB and when we take him. If there’s a first round graded QB sitting there in the second round, regardless of Cam’s situation you take him. Pats and Aints among other teams with top QBs have taken QBs high. Now if we take someone like Grier in the second round yeah that’s a reach and is very telling.

      Player Led culture vs Staff Led

      By panthers55 · Posted

      The difference is about how much player input is allowed and encouraged in the decision making process. Top down teams tend to dictate to players how everything is handled. Disagreements are handled by the coach and players are expected to do what they are told regardless of what they think or feel.  Players are perceived as commodities to be used until we find better. In player led teams player input is encouraged and valued. Players and especially leaders are expected to settle their own disagreements and be accountable to the team but mostly to each other. Players are family to be appreciated and supported in their growth. Is the reality of football the same in both? Yeah there are limited positions, football is a business and winning is the bottom line. Coaches get final say and run the program because that is their job. But in player led teams they feel valued, appreciated, part of a larger whole. Most people who have worked at multiple jobs know exactly what I am talking about. When players try to run the show and don't value  coach input that isn't a player led team, that is a circus which we surely are familiar with in our past.

      Seems to be the consensus from the talking heads. I really wish we had double dipped at center in the 2nd round. Sion will never play in the league.
