Colin's Hot Take

Just overheard on the radio. Talking of trading Cam for Phillip as Phillip doesn't want to move to LA, Cam would be a superstar in LA, Phillip is from Carolina area, etc. I still hate the thought of moving off Cam but interesting to see what the national media is thinking. Could give us 2 years to figure out if Grier is the guy or not. Don't shoot the messenger (I still want Cam here next year)

If we want a stop gap QB why not just hang onto our current guy? I'd rather take a shot on Cam getting healthy than a completely washed soon to be 38 year old Rivers.

I agree but if the decision is made I don't hate it. But as you said would prefer to keep Cam. Also a lot of talk of if we lose a few more and if Tua injury drops him a few more spots we could end up there. Not sure I like that idea either

I won’t name names but someone brought Rivers up to me last week and I actually think it’s a pretty good idea. 
 

Reunite him with Norv. Make a few tweaks this offseason with the roster and with a QB like Rivers we could make some noise.

To be fair, crashing and burning would make some noise.

I think with Norv, DJ, CMC, and if Greg can go one more year he'd have a career year here

Honestly, I'd rather take a shot on Tua than Rivers. Rivers was a great QB but the guy is shot. Like Eli level shot.

Rivers is not an elite QB anymore, i wonder if he ever was anything other than over-rated. His chargers teams have never done much of anything in the playoffs even when he had a stacked team. Now he is old and this year he has 14 TD to 10 INT. I dont think he would come in and make us a contender anymore than the chargers are, especially with a braindead coach.

    • I liked him when he was at Michigan because I'm a Wolverine homer. After that... 
    • Hello, soccer fans [crickets, tumbleweed flies by]. The World Cup kicks off in less than 2 weeks and, well, 🇺🇸USA USA USA🇺🇸 and all. We beat Senegal 3-2 yesterday in a tune-up friendly at BoA, with Christian Pulisic finally entering the scoring column.  How will we do in the World Cup once our tournament kicks off on the 12th? Well, there are 48 teams (assuming Iran is there) and it feels like one of two thing happens: we get grouped for the first time since '98, or we make it to the Round of 16 for the third time in the last four World Cups. I tried out the lottery for an Atlanta game and struck out, so yesterday was as World Cup as I'll get for in-person ($285/ticket for like Norway vs $39/ticket for USMNT right beforehand was a layup).  The U.S. has a travel-heavy schedule in group play, playing in LA, Seattle and LA. Real road warrior mentality being built. Glad the east coast gets worse kickoff times for a NA World Cup than a Qatar World Cup.
    • Well, that's the thing. Drafting players only for their physical measurables as you are suggesting only really happened during 2024, and X unfortunately has become the poster child for that. To be clear, it's not necessarily about drafting RAS over skill, but RAS over NFL-readiness and/or a solid body of work. Lots of players show skill in college, but those skills don't necessarily translate to the NFL for a multitude of reasons. But, getting back to the main point, to be clear, I believe that our FO is still enamored with physical gifts (who wouldn't be?), but now they're letting Dr. Eric Eager's proprietary system--his "secret sauce" prioritize the players that the Panthers draft, and it seems like it weighs not only a solid body of work, relative to a college career of course, but consistent gradual improvement as evidenced by production pretty highly.
