If Cam leaves, Phillip Rivers maybe?

If Cam can play up to his previous levels and is healthy....good. If not and he leaves, how would you all feel about P. River's to get them through the next couple of year's? I know he is 38 but he can still play at a pretty high level. Bring in a rookie in 2020 or 2021 to have a little time to develop him.  Fix the Oline and throw him back there.....yay or nay?

Why even bother if that's the best you can do, and not exactly for a bargain either.

If trotting out an aging and mediocre Phillip Rivers is actually an option I'd rather roll the dice with Newton or draft a quarterback. If need be move some players of value to make that happen. Bringing in dinosaurs ready to retire won't wash away the mediocrity.

Could do worse, but what would be the point? Rivers could lead us to 8-8, 9-7 at best?

The team has two options right now:

  •  Cam is healthy and is our QB.
  •  Cam is gone, and it's time to find a new one...which to me means the 2021 draft unless we fall in love with Tua/Herbert or get lucky in the 2nd/3rd round. If the team gets gutted, time to acquire assets and lose some games in 2020.

    • Remember when we had Cam Newton, Derek Anderson, and Joe Webb? Good times
    • Ridley Grieg was handed a 2-game suspension for his sucker punch on Sean Walker during the Ottawa series. First 2 regular season games for the 2026-2027 schedule.
    • Number 9  Carolina Panthers  Bryce Young, the first overall pick in the 2023 NFL Draft, produced career highs in completion percentage (63.6%), passing yards per game (188.2) and passing touchdowns (23) in 2025. However, those numbers aren't exactly stellar by NFL quarterbacking standards. Even though the Panthers backdoored their way into the postseason in 2025 as NFC South champions with an 8-9 record, Young's performance was up-and-down. He threw for the third-fewest passing yards by a quarterback to make the playoffs in the last 20 seasons, per CBS Sports Research.  FEWEST PASSING YARDS BY QB TO REACH PLAYOFFS, LAST 20 SEASONS (MIN. 16 STARTS) PASSING YARDS PLAYOFF WINS 2012 Christian Ponder (MIN) 2,935 0 2008 Joe Flacco (BAL) 2,971 2 2025 Bryce Young (CAR) 3,011 0 2006 Steve McNair (BAL) 3,050 0 2019 Josh Allen (BUF) 3,089 0 Young did deliver some high highs, like when he threw for a franchise-record 448 yards passing in a Week 11 overtime win at the Atlanta Falcons and when he went toe-to-toe with Stafford in the playoffs in a 34-31 defeat.  Kenny Pickett couldn't win the Cleveland Browns' quarterback competition a year ago, and Will Grier is a career backup. This is Young's team.
