Trade Cam Newton now (he says reluctantly)

A preface to this short post: I am one of the largest Cam supporters in the world. From my posting history, I have been positive in all regards. 

With this being said, today is obviously a signal to a rebuild. The Panthers offensive and defensive line are both in tatters, the is a hole in the middle of our defense, and the secondary is lacking. 

The topic that I wish to discuss is trading Cam Newton and getting a first round pick. Is it plausible that Cam would garner that much? Would you risk a healthy Cam with a bad surrounding cast, or would it be logical to build other positions in the draft and draft Trevor Lawrence in next year's draft? 

(TLDR I know, another trade Cam thread. This one relates more to the specific of what is a good trade price, and is it worth it if you get Lawrence. )

You'd have to think Denver, SD, Chicago, and a few other teams would be willing to fork over a lot.  It's the reality of the situation.  Cam wants to win now if he's healthy.  This team is officially blown up so I see something happening.

This is my feeling as well.

Welp we should at least entertain the idea at this point. We need to get young because this isn't going to be a sprint. 

Well, if Cam doesn't return, I am fully expecting to be a cellar dweller for a long time. To be quite honest, I am kind of getting the feeling like Rhule won't be here for the culmination of whatever this is supposed to be. 

I guess all these "Tank for Trevor" guys are about to get their wish.

      We have without question one of the worst QB rooms in the league and your key concern is people having the audacity to be talking about it lol.

      I saw this list crossing the screen waiting for any Panther.  Chubba, JC Horn and Hunt.  It was a crime to see so many that were not as good as these three.  ESPN is garbage anyhow.

      Bingo!  We are on the same page.  Our scouting department was average under Hurney, but at least we hit hit it out of the park with our first rounders.  Our scouting department under Tepper's reign with his revolving doors of HCs and GMs has sucked because the scouts largely stay in place.  One or two may change every few years, but the core philosophy stays in place and I believe that to be heavily RAS influenced.    Looking the part of a football player (physical/athletic measurables) vastly outweighs putting on the tape and deep diving into his stats with our scouting department. Until we change that mindset, this team is doomed. Again, how many of us Huddlers (none of us are professional scouts) wanted McConkey over Legette? Yet, we went with XL.  Why?  RAS score, pure and simple.  If you put on the tape and look at the numbers without taking RAS into account, McConkey was the clear choice.
