Ron’s job is on the line this season. Can we all stop crying and let it play out? I know every fan thinks that if your starting QB goes down you should have a Nick Foles waiting in the background, but that is extremely rare. We win or lose this year with Cam. I expect a bad season for our competition as well if Matt Ryan, Brees, or Winston goes down. We are less than two weeks out and we have a vet, and two young qbs we are developing (who already know Norvs complex playbook).

Not sure it's great for team morale to announce publicly 2 weeks before the season starts, "Yeah we know our backup qb situation sucks, but what you gonna do?"

He has said in his interviews that he's not happy with the performance of the backups in the preseason. But at this point, you're probably better off rolling with what you have, hoping Cam stays healthy and the backups get better with time in the meanwhile and if that fails, figuring out plan B next offseason. Bringing in someone last minute is either going to be a qb who can't even make the preseason roster of any of the 32 teams who doesn't know the playbook and has no guarantees of being any better than what we have or we have to give up valuable draft capital for someone else's backup who still has to learn our playbook and has no guarantees of being better than what we have.

This is absurd. This is what happens when you keep a coach too long. They get too comfortable. Too content.

What is absurd is expecting him to say anything else. Even if Hurney was on the phone as we speak Ron would be supporting who we have until the new guy got here. Do you really believe everything you read or hear?

Its not about winning or losing. Obviously you lose you starting qb your season is done, but atleast get a back up qb who can complete a pass over 20 yards. Derek Anderson could. He also could win a game or 2. These 2? Forget about it

Derek Anderson was 2-2 as a starter, his only wins being against the McCown led 2-14 TB Bucs (2014).  Is that really a ringing endorsement?  Grier/Allen could have won those games.

In 2016 he also started two games.  Against the Falcons and Bucs, and lost both.

Grier/Allen not beating any regular season opponents this year.

We have 2 QBs not named Cam under contract who have been in the system for over a year. That's not a bad place to be for backups.

   The last time he said we were “good” at a position, we signed Eric Reid the next day. 

   Just sayin...

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      By dep · Posted

      Watched the recent Mic'd up which had the Bucs game. This angle makes that fumble look so much worse, pretty sure it was inbetween Bryce's hands.   bbb.mp4

      The ickey ekwonu question...

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Here is what you did not mention (and I have not read the thread--but will--it is a needed) and that is the MAFF.  He is in a contract year (2026-5th year) and we will not know (in all likelihood) how the knee is healing by the time we have to decide on a mega deal.   If you consider the time it takes to fully heal is 12 months if all goes well, the injury is known to shorten careers.  Of course, a man of 330 lbs who needs agility to perform at a high level makes the injury a bit more serious than it was for Jimmy Graham, for example, who recovered in a remarkable 9 months.  Having said all that, I think he should be moved inside to guard.   While many NFL linemen can return to play after patellar tendon surgery, studies show a significant failure rate and reduced performance, with return-to-play (RTP) rates often cited around 50-56%, meaning roughly 44-50% don't make it back, and even those who do often see reduced careers and statistics, highlighting it as a devastating injury for linemen." I think you have to go after an elite OT, and I think it should be a first rounder because you don't sign elite LTs in free agency.  Ickey is already going to get paid $18m or so in 2026.    However, the money you save by not locking him down long term could go to a free agent edge or ILB.  It is very complicated if you start factoring in contracts, risks, cap, and the odds of recovery.

      Evero and the pass rush

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      Yes, we played the 2nd most cover 3 in the NFL behind the Raiders.   The flats and seams are the areas you want to attack it so its soft spots are areas qbs can hit quickly which can definitely hurt the pass rush.
