Trade Cam Newton now (he says reluctantly)

[Cpt slay a ho]

I don’t think the Luke news changes anything, this notion to blows things up to get the desired results can also backfire and send us spiraling downwards like the browns.

use your resources you have, don’t sell them for unknown commodities

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. 

I think that mindset is a loser mentality for whoever displays it, your sacrificing a season for a guy that could very well end up not being the savior. 

not a fan of it, wasting More years of a prime cmc or Moore isnt smart whichever way people try and spin it

its best for all tbh..he can go play on a winning team to try and get that super bowl ring..and we can get a young qb that the coaching staff wants to build around

Yeah, unfortunately I don't think we will really have to "try" to tank if we lose Luke, Cam and Greg in the same offseason. Not to mention Bradberry. Let's say that all happens(and it hasn't yet). How hard would we really need to try to end up as a bottom 5 team?

[FakePlasticTrees]

I hope I am wrong but I suspect Cam has limited (relative to fan expectations) trade value. He has not been healthy for the better part of at least two years. I actually think his deep ball was gone for the full 2018 season. It was not until midseason of that year that teams caught on to that fact. 

[JawnyBlaze]

I think it is more likely now than it was an hour ago, but I still say no....unless we get a Herschel Walker trade for him, and that’s only happening if he’s fully healthy.  No trade for a mere first round pick unless it’s a top 3 overall and full confidence in the targeted QB replacement. Rebuild or not, no one/two/three draft picks are going to help the team nearly as much as a healthy Cam.

Rollercoaster of emotions. Get good to great coaches and lose your star players. Ugh

Yeah there’s gonna be a team that out sucks us imo, a guy like cmc will takeover at least 3 games a year imo. I think with the talent we do have we still aren’t guaranteed a top 3 picks where the qbs are going to go

Can't do that.  He will be under contract.  You have to play 6 games to accrue 1 season in the NFL.  Retiring doesn't change that.

I love CMC but he netted us exactly zero wins in the second half of the past two seasons when our QB play fell apart. He is not good enough to win us games alone, as we have seen. 

We have a LOT of offseason left, so it is way too early to say we are a lock for a top 3 pick. I do think we may start trending in that direction, though.

• Even a healthy Cam can't take us to the Playoffs. Trade him. Get picks. Rebuild.

[Real1zOnly]

We are not keeping Cam with this depleted roster it makes no sense. Cam will be traded or cut point blank. Get ready for Kyle Allen or Will Grier to be your starting QB. This team will be tanking for Lawrence next year.

 

Im kind of interested to see what teams become a destination for Cam.

[firefox1234]

Okay. Trade Cam. But what would we possibly get back? Remember he walks after this season if he doesnt renew on top of his health being a question mark. We would be lucky to get a 2nd.

 I don't know if people realize this but franchise QBs are as rare as diamonds, that guys like Nick Foles are getting 4yr $88m!!!! That could be us in a few years as we struggle to replace Cam cause we all know how rare it is for this franchise to pick inside the top 10 let alone top 5. Not to mention any of those QBs picked are more likely to be duds like Sam Darnold.
