A look into the Panthers future - Spoiler alert

Honestly, this has always been the most likely outcome.  Very few players of their caliber every finish their careers with the team that drafted them.  Cam and Luke will be no different.  As great as both have been here they will be replaced before fans are ready to let go.  I will certainly miss them both because they ARE unique talents and great to watch play.  But I'm old enough to know that no one is irreplaceable.  The replacement may not be as talented or charismatic and fun to watch for us fans but they are replacements none the less.  I just hope that whomever takes over for them can be at least half as much fun to watch as these two have been.

Oh for sure, it just sucks to see it happen so soon(as is likely in Cam's case). Luke, who knows? He's under contract but he's also one of the most obvious trade assets if we really do decide to burn it all down for a complete rebuild.

I just hope if they end up anywhere it is in the AFC and beating the Pats asses on a consistent basis.

My take: 

Panthers use analytics and rather than rebuild in positions we are good at with Allen, draft Linemen and secondary.  Allen leads us back to the playoffs for the first time since 2017.

Hello there and thank you for visiting the Huddle.

Last night I performed a ritual that allowed me a glance into the Carolina Panthers short term future. The ritual was performed by drinking spoiled goats milk out of a commemorative Super Bowl 50 beer stein while simultaneously forcing myself to re-watch every moment of the Panthers at 49ers game. This put my body into such a state of disappointment and disgust that I was transported into early 2020.

The following is an account of what I witnessed.

New Coach

The Carolina Panthers hired Kevin Stefanski as their new head coach soon after the Minnesota Vikings were eliminated from the playoffs. Stefanski fit perfectly the mold that Carolina Panthers owner David Tepper was seeking in a new head coach. An offensive mind that is open to new practices in analytics but still seasoned enough to have the old school football mentality. Stefanksi was extremely excited to have an offense with legitimate play makers at skill positions to work with as head coach. The biggest question would be quarterback.

Cam Newton

The Carolina Panthers and Cam Newton were at an impasse. Newton was unwilling to play a season with only one year left on his contract. The Panthers were unwilling to extend Newton over concerns about his foot but also his shoulder. The franchise was not willing to gamble a third consecutive season on Cam's health and lose again. No blame could be placed on either party as they both wanted what was best for themselves. The Panthers sign-and-traded Newton in return for a 2nd round selection in the 2020 draft and a third round selection in the 2021 draft. Newton got a multi year contract and the Panthers got at least something in return.

The NFL Draft

In an amazing turn of events, LSU Quarterback Joe Burrow drops to to #5 as the Dolphins opt for Tua. The Panthers use picks to trade up from 7 and grab Burrow. Burrow becomes the day one starter with Will Grier as his backup. The rebuild is fully on and jump started by grabbing the next franchise QB of the Carolina Panthers.

The rest of the draft focused heavily on the offensive and defensive lines with of course Hurney reaching in the third round for an unathletic safety.

 

Do not flame me for the things I write for they were not of my own cognition. They were a vision implanted by the football gods themselves. Now, go ye and be merry, for although the darkest days are ahead, a new hope will soon arise.

 

Love,

*goes to thread where OP says Cam Newton won't be on the team next year to complain about mob mentality of huddle preventing threads saying Cam won't be on the team next year*

Igo, I think you may have forgotten that there is an NFL franchise in Cincinnati who is all but guaranteed the first pick and really needs a franchise QB. Unless you are suggesting they are the team the Panthers trade Newton, Burrow will be gone by the first pick. Even if they trade for Newton and retain the 1st overall, the fact that they do not need a QB at that point, means they would be very likely to trade down to a team in real need of a franchise QB. 

Either way, Burrow isn't making it past the second overall pick.

tea leaves just stirred and tarot cards read...........we trade Cam and Luke to Cinci for their #1 draft pick and alas........Burrow.

Triggered much? You must be about 13 or so.  No way you are an adult.

all gone, sorry i was slow to act on some of them it's snowing here and it's very pretty outside

[top dawg]

Allen starting in any 20 after 2019, will only be in an extreme emergency (and that's in regard to any team).

[AggieLean]

If Jameis is going to be ousted from Tampa, and we’re moving on from Cam, then I’d consider Jameis. Dude flashes greatness, and literally is following the path of Peyton Manning. Plus he’s young. 

Just something to consider.

How do you mean following the path of Peyton?

jameis can be infuriating. You just never know what you’re gonna get. Absolute elite play or a complete dumpster fire.
