Lets talk hypotheticals here...

 

Lets say QB1 comes back and plays well. Now lets also assume that Will Grier continues to develop throughout the season, Kyle Allen could probably fetch some pretty good trade capital given how young and cheap he is.

We might be in a position like the Patriots have been the last several years where we trade a back up for decent draft capital. I think that is the best case situation for us.

Probably not going to be as much trade value as you would think for a relatively unproven guy on a one year deal. Better off to wait until free agency and then just out bid us.

Isn't he exclusive rights? If we tender him, he can't even negotiate with other teams

NO

You do like Foles in Philly

Part of this fan base wants a 100% healthy QB1 Back

But you need to make sure he can make it through this year and next before extending him.  If he goes on to stay healthy this year and next and looks good.  Yeah you trade Allen 

 

Philly knew a healthy Wentz was their best option but had injury problems.  But Foles showed he could win you games.  Eventually they extended Wentz at the end of his contract and moved on from Foles

 

If Cam comes back but then injury problems next year, atleast you have Allen and extend him and not resign Cam

Why would you trade a good backup just because Cam returns? 

Cam has missed significant time the last 2 years and taken more punishment in NFL history....him coming back healthy doesn’t mean he stays that way for long.  He could come back 100% and be back out in 3 weeks.  We need a backup.

You keep Allen.

This

This same fan base were PISSED at Hurney after preseason because Grier and Allen looked bad and we wanted a Backup that could come in and win games, something we havnt had since Anderson

 

 

Now your wanting to Trade that same thing you were crucifying the GM for, for "not getting this offseason"?

You can't trade a promising young QB in this league, especially when your starter hasn't been able to stay on the field. You just can't.

Yeah, I am assuming he is saying Cam comes back and finishes the year healthy while playing well. 

It would make more sense to keep Allen around but it is also a hypothetical. 

So, what's the ultimate squeal point on trading him? What if a first round pick is offered?

Here’s a counter hypothetical: Cam hasn’t sustained the injuries he has in the past 2 years but is still on the wrong side of 30 and his effectiveness is still dependent on a play style that puts his body at risk more than any other qb in the league. Do you expect your massive good fortune to continue indefinitely or do you prudently invest in retaining a backup who is above average against the inevitable day when your aging franchise guy can’t go?

Even without the current injury situation you retain Allen.

      Official Panthers roster cuts thread

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By carpanfan96 · Posted

      Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.

      Because he won't be here next year, we aren't winning this year and we need to see if Renfrow or Horn can be that guy going forward. If Bryce isn't good enough to do poo without AT we need to find that out this year as well. I'm fine keeping him but his role needs to be slowly reduced throughout the year anyway so we know what we have for the future
