If Cam plays against San Fran... thoughts

IF Cam plays against San Fran

- We all should hope he returns to MVP form and dominates. That would mean this team is Superbowl bound for sure. 

- It BETTER mean he is fully healthy. If this coaching staff plays him at anything less and risk further injury they should all be fired immediately. 

- If he does not play well I do not want to hear about rust. I do not want to hear about injury. This would indicate the coaching staff rushed him back. See point 2. 

- The WORST thing that could happen (aside from injury) is for Cam to start and the coaching staff realizes that he isn't ready and have to bench him. Even I do not want to witness the hell storm that would result.

Think he comes back vs Tennessee 

Home game, easier D and team.

 

 

Again this is all if he is 100%  99 or less he'll still be inactive 

You have to play the best player. Healthy Cam is better than healthy Kyle. You can't sit a guy because they are playing a good team.

My thoughts are the same as I've been saying...

Whoever you pick as a starter, stick with them.

If Allen is the guy, don't pull him the first time he struggles. That's a terrible way to handle a young quarterback.

If it's Newton, don't hit the panic button if he's rusty. Let him play and knock the rust off.

Basically, don't be Jon Gruden.

Newton wouldn't start practicing until next week though, right?  Even if he's healthy, I don't think you can play him vs San Fran unless you think he's able to get his timing down that quickly.  It will have been over a month since he's played.

If Cam is done we need to ride our high quality backup the rest of the year. It is a harsh reality of the NFL. I love Cam but this was his prove it year. I want him back at his best but if that has passed, it's time to deal with it. Best case, Cam is a beast for a couple more years and we have a high value backup. Worst case, we will be talking about drafting another stud every offseason until we do draft one. I do not look forward to those days again.

the moat important part of being successful in the NFL is knowing when to cut your losses

Cam can’t even fly with the team or stand up for long periods.  I think all this is a wasted energy.  I don’t buy Cam suddenly getting to 100% over the bye week.  And 100% is what everyone claims it will take to get him back

      Joe Person: Panthers will let Cade Mays test the free agent market

      By PanthersNCSU · Posted

      If Mays has a market, which it seems he will, he's gone.  I think we bring back Nijman for too much money to be cautious at LT, Corbett comes back cheap since he's already said he wants to live in CLT, and Christensen eventually gets re-signed with the hopes he can be depth at some point.  Draft an OT, draft a C. The OL might be rough for stretches next year, but time to get some youth there to prepare for Bryce in 2027 or the next QB. I still think we compete for the division in 2026 and can go back to the playoffs unlike the oddsmakers in Vegas, but the *real* year is 2027 IMO. Either Bryce has proven it and he's the QB looking at his 2nd contract, or we have the ready-made team for the next rookie QB or Vet we trade for.

      The Panthers are going to have a lot more flexibility in free agency than it looks like at first glance. On paper, the cap space might seem tight, but there are several obvious restructure candidates that could easily free up significant room. Between converting base salaries into signing bonuses and spreading cap hits out over future years, Carolina could realistically clear $60–80 million in additional space if they wanted to be aggressive. That kind of flexibility means they’re not stuck. They can extend key young pieces, add help along the offensive line, upgrade the defense, and still be strategic about value signings. Letting Cade Mays test the market makes sense from a leverage standpoint. If he’s willing to come back on a team-friendly deal, great, continuity on the line matters. But if his market price climbs, the Panthers should absolutely explore upgrades. The point is, this front office isn’t boxed in. With cap maneuvering and smart structuring, they have the ability to be active players in free agency rather than sitting on the sidelines like we are used too.
