Lost in the big news today.. are we suppose to read into this as he expects cam to be back with the team next hear? I'm seeing him say more things that point in that direction than the more overwhelming hes done and out the door-already talking to Chicago nonsense from earlier. Just based off the comments I have heard him say, not based on what the"experts" are hearing.

In terms of Cam long term here the more telling thing to me is actually the "5 years to be consistent winner" comment....

Yea...that's not a thing if you have your franchise QB already in place....that's the writing I see on the wall. With Cam and a competent draft we're back out and winning. But it also does seem to me like Tepper may like the idea of Cam on a cheap 1 year deal to see what it looks like with S. Turner at OC and if it works out then great.

Maybe the reason he retained Hurney is for not making the 36 million dollar mistake? Who knows at this point, but everyone is under the microscope from this point forward.

Here is how I look at it:  If Cam were playing on another team and was released or put on the trading block, and he had not  been healthy for 2 seasons + and has not won a game in in his last 8, would I offer him a $20m per year deal to play for my team?

That would be a big ole bowl of NOPE.

Cam is not a pitcher in baseball.  Wins and losses is not a QB stat.

The Franchise hopes his foot and shoulder will be good.

 

The Franchise is very doubtful that will be the case.

 

These two things are not mutually exclusive.

Yep.

Best chance we've got of winning is a healthy Cam. They know this. 

The chances of Cam coming back healthy are slim. They know this too.

As to his comments regarding Newton, I'd agree that they're based more in hope than in reality. If I were applying them to real life, I might say I sure hope this lottery ticket I bought gets me a million dollars but I'd better keep working at my job just in case.

On the flipside, the comments about Rome not being built in a day, a new head coach not being a savior and that maybe it takes five years to build a consistent winner all sound like Tepper is prepared for a rough stretch of rebuilding. And no, that likely doesn't include Newton.

it really does suck to think that crappy Bucs game is gonna be the last image we have of him in a Panther uniform, but unfortunately that's probably true.

Precisely where I stand.

Hope is great and all, but it don't win football games.

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
