Rapoport's Guess: Panthers will look to trade Cam once healthy

You mean the billboard isnt enough?

Yeah I guess not. Strip clubs and personal injury lawyers got billboards too. Doesn’t mean everyone is behind them. I’m always amazed at folks in this forum acting like “what do you mean we all love cam” dude you know there is a portion of us who want him gone which gives folks in the front office cover. It’s a mistake. The folks behind it will own it.

idk man, whiffing on a qb isn't what it use to be.  no cap hell, no real downside

Bingo.  Look what the Cardinals did.  They didn't get caught up on Rosen being a bust, they just drafted a franchise qb in Murray one year later.

As long as the front office doesn't move next year's #1 to get him, there is no downside to drafting Tua.  Either he's a success without injury or he isn't healthy and we can just draft Lawrence next year.  Win win.

The Cardinals have been hot garbage the last several years to get to the point of being able to draft Murray.

Coincidentally, the last year the cardinals were good was the same year we were.

That said, my far-from-expert opinion is that drafting Tua is a bad idea.

I'm mostly indifferent with Tua. But in terms of applying a basic understanding of investment versus reward, putting all our chips behind an oft injured quarterback to replace another quarterback limited by injuries sounds like a recipe to continue picking a QB every year like Cleveland.

With all the holes left to fill what would be the point or gained in getting rid of him just to have yet another hole to fill? Are we paying Rhule all that money to tank a few seasons for high picks? Whatever we get for Cam isn't going to be any immediate help. Let the man play out his last year then draft a QB next season. Isn't the class supposed to be pretty deep?

We are a lot worse than some people think. If we trade Cam, we are rock bottom. We’ll be right there for the top pick and that’s what we might be trying to do. 

Cam doesn't make us any better than last year. We don't even know if he can stay healthy much less run the air raid offense.

    • Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.
    • How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.
    • I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
