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.

    • What's wrong with Damien Lewis? He played pretty well last year.
    • Official NFL Cuts Tracker Deadline for roster cuts is Tuesday, August 26th. At this moment (Friday, August 22nd) the only interesting names I see are... K Caden Davis (BUF) RB Ameer Abdullah (SF) WR Equanimeous St. Brown (SF) WR Donovan Peoples-Jones (NO) LB Khaleke Hudson (TEN) Abdullah, St. Brown, Peoples-Jones I don't exactly think we should cut anybody for but it was just interesting seeing those names. Khaleke Hudson was on the Panthers' practice squad last year I believe and might have even gotten called up? And of course, Caden Davis just because of the question mark at kicker this season for the team.
    • I'll say 6/10. I don't know that we learned a whole lot about this team during preseason that we didn't already know. We didn't play the starters enough to really get a feel for what to expect. We had one good drive against the Browns, one 3-and-out and two 3-and-outs against the Texans. That's an extremely small sample size across 3 games regardless of performance. My camp/preseason takeaways: Jalen Coker might be the best WR on this team and is certainly no worse than #2. Nic Scourton is going to be a good player for us. Possibly very good. Bobby Brown was our best free agent addition. Jack Plummer isn't an NFL QB. Not even a practice squad guy. Having anyone other than Canales and Evero call plays was a really stupid and pointless idea. Our depth is largely non-existent, especially on defense. The three areas we actually DO have depth are on the OL, in the WR corp. and at RB. I can't fathom why Dan Morgan didn't do more to upgrade ILB during the offseason. We better hope Lathan Ransom steps up at FS because if he doesn't we have a massive hole. For all the hype surrounding Sanders/Evans, Tommy Tremble is still the best TE on the roster. I'm only slightly less enthusiastic going into the regular season than I was a month ago. I think our starters on offense are solid and we should be pretty good there unless Bryce totally regresses. On defense, we're probably bottom 3rd in the league if 100% healthy and significantly worse than that if injuries become an issue. We badly need at least two of our rookies to become high-level players early (ideally one of the pass rushers + Ransom) and at least 2 of our free agent additions (ideally Moehrig + Bobby Brown) to be significant upgrades over last year. Call me pessimistically optimistic 😆
