Rhule: Ideal Situation Needs To Have QB


Recommended Posts

If the Patriots can win with Brady throwing the ball 2 seconds after the snap and pretty much doing nothing, the Panthers can win with Cam delegating the work to everybody else on offense .. unlike with Rivera where Cam was the entire offense.

Not in Cam's DNA.  Comparing Cam to Brady is probably not the best foundation for a longevity discussion.

When we drafted Cam, I thought he might play for 10 years.  I still do.

Not in Cam's DNA .. lol .. Cam is great enough to evolve .. you don't think Cam is able to get the ball out quickly to weapons? That is all Brady does .. delegates the work to players who are actually good.

I'm not really worried about if Tepper wants Cam to stay, Rhule wants Cam or if Cam wants to be here. All of those are an obvious yes.

I'm concerned about whether or not Cam will be willing to play on a 1 year lame duck deal with no guaranteed money and if not, will the Panthers be willing to give him at least a 1 year extension to protect him. 

Until I hear news about that, I'm on pins and needles.

And when did I make any statement about the time he would miss? He was injured in August. If he takes 11 months to heal, so be it. If he takes 11 months from his surgery date(in Dec), then the decision to move on will probably already be made, won't it? 

Isn't that the whole point? Deciding whether or not you're going to commit $20M to a player not yet recovered from a surgery versus drafting the next QB? That's my only point in this- whether or not a lisfranc is career ending is a medical opinion. But a lot less serious foot injury ended my triathlon days a few years sooner than I planned.

It’s ok. I didn’t know what it was at first either, now that I do, I say it all the time.

Might want to read the NIH version.

https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/27166291

"More than 90% of NFL athletes who sustained Lisfranc injuries returned to play in the NFL at a median of 11.1 months from time of injury."

So, you're willing to pay Cam $20M and wait for him to maybe come back by June or July? Or better yet, go ahead and draft Tua, who's already had 2 ankle surgeries and a hip surgery.

And if you really believe a lisfranc isn't career threatening, you had your head in the sand when Greg Olsen went down... twice... for the same injury.

The Panthers training staff did Olsen no favors, absolutely none

Glad Vermillion is gone

So?

No one knows where Cam’s shoulder is at period. 

I would offer that Tepper knows, since he's the one who pays him.  Do you not think the owner has regular contact with Cam?  And further, to my train of logic, if Rhule wanted a job with a proven QB in place, do you think he and Tepper would not have touched on that subject in their negotiations?

So...if THEY are confident that Cam will be ready to return this spring (and show me how anything the last 24 hours indicates they have doubts), then why do you, and all the many other orthopedic surgeons on this site, feel so sure he can't be??

    • I wonder if they'd consider trading Rasheed Walker to a team that needs tackle help but missed out in the draft?
    • LOL. This is such a Panthers fan take.  Anyone who falls to us must suck because some other team didn't take them before.  We got lucky with Lemon, Thieneman, and Freeling all falling to us (honestly any of the three is a A+) but the WR and S positions are much deeper than the LT position in this draft.  We got the LT w/ the most upside at 19.  Mauigoa played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the nfl.  Spano played RT in college and some think he is a guard in the NFL due to short arms.  Blake Miller played RT in college and is not as good as Freeling.  Proctor is a true LT but his ability to handle quick edge's worries me (see Icky).  Freeling is a true LT and a gifted pass protector.  Many think he has a very high ceiling and will benefit from not having to start right away.  This is how you build a franchise.  
    • After watching Cam get killed for years behind a bad Oline and having to watch the 2021 and 2023 Olines I will never complain about this team putting resources into that spot.  We got a true LT who could really push Rasheed Walker for the day 1 job. Go back and watch Iceky's draft profile from 2022 and all the talk was Ickey would be an all-pro guard in a zone blocking scheme, but he could play LT in a gap power run scheme. That's why Ickey looked really good when Wilks took over and we just started running gap run plays and just mauled people up front but under Canales we've been more of a zone running team. Ickey can survive at LT with his pass blocking but his true strength will always be his ability to just move guys in the run game and that's a skill set that's better used at guard.  Take another OT later on day 3 to learn from Moton to take over RT in a couple of years and let Walker and Freeling battle it out for the day 1 LT job then next offseason trade one of Hunt of Lewis and let Ickey move inside to guard.
