I think Cam can be healthy again. I hope Cam can be healthy again. I definitely don't want to see a healthy Cam Newton as a star elsewhere because I will have very, very, very, very, very hard feelings towards ownership about that.

Agreed and this is why I am willing to "throw" away a season next year to see if Cam is and can be healthy again.  If not, I can accept next season being like this one and move on from there.  For me that is worth it to see.

Here's the thing about "throwing away a season" for any reason though...

For some veteran players, that's probably going to be their last season.

For other guys, it's going to be a contract year when they're looking for their next paycheck.

For some young players, it might be their only chance to make an impression.

If you make it all about one guy, even if that guy is a quarterback, you're risking screwing over several other players on your team in favor of gambling on that one player.

Is that a fair thing to ask?

Wright has an agenda fwiw, and given it, i'm not surprised with this take.  I won't elaborate because I don't want to cause a fight but Wright dismissing essentially a rookie Allen like this is the least surprising thing ever and just look at what he was saying about Daniel Jones last April for an explanation why.

Cam was expected to silence his critics doubts this year by demonstrating the ability to make the deep throws and have his arm last an entire season.

It didn't work out that way, so now Cam and the Panthers are facing the worst case scenario of a having a franchise QB that is near the end of his contract without the needed evidence to show he is worth retaining.

If Cam agreed, the Panthers could retain his services for 2020, making next season a show me year.

Without that, signing Cam to a long term contract in the 30 mil/year range is problematic.

Would you agree to that if you were in his position?

Y’all say cam still got 5 more years then turn around and say he has no trade value... 

The guy who was quoted in the OP thinks he has five more years.

I'm not so sure you could find that many people on here that would agree to that.

He’ll be solid. The INTs mainly came in the first 3 weeks. He’s had 3 in the last 7 games. He’s also still learning and young. He had so much success as a true freshman that people kept making the mistake of putting him into the 2020 draft. He’s got the rest of this year and a whole junior year to keep getting more experience but he’s going to be pretty close to a sure thing.

We won’t have a shot at Lawrence, although man if we do this place is going to be a poo show next year going 2-14.

If we trade Cam, then I’d be shocked if we don’t go QB this year. I think the middle 1st will still have solid prospects like Watson/Mahomes or long ago like Roethlisberger. I’m not sure 2021 is as good besides Lawrence.

The only reason we don’t go QB in the 1st without Cam is if Allen somehow blossoms over a playoff chase. 

Here's an intriguing question...

If you were to trade high enough to get one of the top quarterbacks  you might also conceivably be high enough to get Chase Young.

What do you do?

Is there a risk involved?  Absolutely.

However, if Cam is wanting to be paid like a top tier QB he is likely going to have to demonstrate he still has the physical ability to play like one.

The best chance he has to do that is as the Panthers QB in 2020.

Otherwise his market value with other teams will be limited, since any team signing Cam will be doing so on faith.

      Another layer to that is Ive seen Seattle has been in the market for CB help this off-season.   Michael had a higher PFF grade than Horn who got 15 games this season. He wants to be here too, that's a huge bonus for any 5 win team that had awful pass rush.  The 7th rounder Michael Barrett didn't last long on Seattle, he was cut before the season I think and ended up on browns PS. He's already been on 5.......5 teams within one year.......

      Best draft picks ever at each slot (4 Panthers)

      You have gave the board some recent gold via posting. Heres my poor attempt at the truthful play-by-play of the time during post- I pulled out the old laptop to do my shitposting and check on websites. Open the huddle and see this new thread. Open thread and read CRAs post, {inner thinking, oooOOooo this is my lane and I got this}. Make sure not to scroll even to the 2nd post. 23% of current neurons still firing start up and two names appear- Captain and Josh....... about another 43 seconds past "O GOD" it's July 4th weekend and I got medicine to pick up. (If the laptop didn't give away my aging, the meds should...) I need to split, think long panther careers and the hint-  Ryan Kalil was a late 2nd and Pro bowls(even all-pros too) he's got to be OLman and Mikie Minter is among the all-time Panthers career leaders. Drop my post. Scramble to get keys, wallet, and phone. Check my phone- its 17% battery.....fug I now have to raw dog the pickup line and put the phone on charge.... Flip flops, sweat ringed filled hat, and shades acquired. Get in my pos rav4 and think about not running the A/C. Pull out the drive way and reach the 1st stop light, A/C is wide open. I check my shirt to see if there's any new stains on my house shirt, bush off the Bojangles salt that I see.... Neurons re-fire and focus on the comments CRA made that no one would get this....... Dang IT, that means it isn't Ryan Kalil or Mike Minter! CVS is close, but I know its impossible I get back withing 10 minutes to change my post and my phone is on the charger. {Think you monkey, at one point you were a draft nerd}. Reach the CVS line, by some grace its not 5 cars deep during 5 o'clock traffic hell. Im second in line after the car in front of me both turn in, they have to go back and forth to line up while Im a pro for that geometry. Neurons finally reach peak performance as Ive re-thought draft classes. Think obscure and unknown 7th rounders with long careers. Some Sunday/Monday night member berry fell out of my Melon, Will montgomery during the players intros for washington. I thought he out of the league and was shocked to see him still playing around the 2015 years. I do a goggle background check and that refreshed memory. Pick up the meds and enjoy the sweet smelling cool CVS air. Driving back and check in on one of the local bums at the big stop light, wow he's got a new fancy rug. Think about all the old food I got and need to start giving it away and rethink it. Reach home and post a follow up and I know Minter is wrong too, I check the draft history and see Robert Mcclain. Too late, but that would have been my guess....open CRAs link and get "upset" at the DBs name.

      Panthers Blueprint out now

      THANKS my guy! Keeping up with this threads theme, if I view a thread and there's only 20 posts and some time passes. If I see there's one new post and read the name; @Dave Gettleman's Shortsis among the chosen few that I will reopen that thread just to see what you posted.    Thanks again, plus not just a scout, thats scotty mccloughans son?!?!? If not for the deep claws of booze, scotty is among the best talent finders this league has recently had. Last I heard he ran a consulting business. Caden could be one of those who's on a early path to being a GM in the future. I was a big fan of his dad, dam shame about booze demon ruining his career.
