even more reason to sell off and look toward the future

What do you sell off that anyone would want, or that would get any reward?

Look at the kind of players that get traded; good people at the end of their contracts. So you're selling off either Shaq or Bradberry. Or if you really want to burn it down CMC.

I mean maybe throw out Addison or McCoy or something, but you're not getting much for them.

I just really don't want to ride it out with Kyle and pick in the middle of the first again, but that's looking more and more likely. Let the tanking begin

Well the thing with that is  - have you seen our schedule the rest of the season?  We will be lucky to win 3 more games.

Either way, doesn't excuse the fact he shouldn't have even been on the field week 1, let alone week 2.

Someone screwed up somewhere.

Newton admitted to limping in practice leading up to week 1 and pregame warmups.  Coaching staff should have learned several times over by now that they need to step in to protect their QB.

But hold on a second....if the foot is not getting any better then why has he started sprinting on a treadmill and working out in practice without the boot?  Why did he make the trip to San Fran and stand on the sidelines if the foot has not gotten any better?

My guess is that it's healed structurally but there's still lingering pain. He was grimacing doing those stretches at practices. Earlier this year I injured my foot to the point where I couldn't put any weight on it and had to use crutches. X-rays came back completely negative, not even a sprain or fracture. Foot injuries suck and are pretty bewildering even to medical professionals.

They're also the kind of thing that you may never bounce back to 100% from, which is my concern now with Cam.

Is there a choice?

Whether you believe in him or not, unless you just want to throw away the rest of this season (which is probably Greg Olsen's last) you need to hope that he's better than you think.

I don't believe in tanking.

I don’t trust him to find another franchise qb if Cam is done here. Or to recognize whether Cam deserves a new contract after 2020 or not. If Marty gives Cam a new contract and Cam is done it will put this franchise back for years. We need a new fresh set of eyes to evaluate non emotionally.

If Rivera is gone, we're also looking at the possibility of Marty determining who our next head coach is.

I'm not a fan of that idea either.

Damn, I love the game but hate the NFL for what they've done to my team and the downfall they engineered for my quarterback.

We've made it to the Super bowl twice to get cheated out of winning it all. Lots of franchises haven't sniffed such success. We have what it takes but at the same time...

It's like why try?

    • I personally think you are trying to talk yourself into circles here... It's ok to say Bryce played incredible the last 5 weeks... I know there are plenty of people on this board who desperately need the doom-and-gloom narrative, but I genuinely question how much NFL QB play some of these people really have watched when they still question him being the unquestioned starter for next year...  Again, that being said, no one is crowning him at all. I think Bryce is one of the best stories going into 2025 bc his season last year was so outlandishly unprecedented. It's totally fair to personally not believe in Bryce. Plenty of sports "journalists" need to write stories, and that's an easy narrative path... But I think that actual people in the know rank Bryce much higher. That's the fun thing about sports... we shall see!
    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
