A few days ago before the GOAT retired, it was 50/50 if Cam would be here. Once Luke left, the writing was on the wall. With the retirement (and the talk from I.Rapoport), looks like March will be seeing a change in QB's. This team will be gutted (minus a few guys.)

Right before the draft and needing a sh#t load of help, he is gone...healthy or not.

So what is the next step for a QB? Whether we can trade him for picks or have to cut him because of health reasons, the time is HERE. Need to figure something out before the draft.

Draft one, sign a vet, or hope for the best with Allen ( with Oline help.).... what you got?

An option that certainly makes sense...

 

Going to assume you are meaning Teddy Bridgewater. Good guy, made a serious comeback from injury, might be better than ever before.

Same could be said for Cam Newton, though, especially if it is an electric bicycle.

I'm not sold that Cam is gone, yet.

I have thought for a while now that the probability of Cam playing for the Panthers this season was about 10%, Luke retiring doesn't change that for me.

Honestly, the QB thing is hard to predict, as we don't know if Tepper wants to win a few games along the way while we rebuild, or if he wants to completely tear it down and do it the right way.

Until we know that it's tough to say.

If you want to win a few games along the way, maybe you bring in Rivers or someone like that, and let Kyle and Grier continue to learn behind a smart QB who's gifts are fading fast....he can still win you a few games though, and the fans won't think it's a full tank job.

If you want to tank, tear it down completely, start from scratch, you leave the QB room alone and let Grier and Kyle fight it out in TC, and name a starter between the two of them.

So we're absolutely positive the team is moving on from Cam now? 

Have to get my mind prepared for that now if so. That's one that can't just come out of nowhere for me.

We don’t know for sure. It looks that way but anything can happen.

Why though? If we are rebuilding and have Cam on the cheap (relatively) why not see what he can do, draft young talent and see where it lands in 2021?

If Cam is injured and it's obvious he's done then we address QB with a high 2021 draft pick and utilize the young talent we drafted in 2020.

If Cam thrives and returns to his old form then you don't have to stress over QB in the 1st in 2021, continue to surround him with talent.

If Cam looks good but doesn't fit your long term plans, move him for a pick. At the moment I don't see it until he plays and proves to a team he's worth trading for.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By fanpanther · Posted

      the one thing this post has suprised me with is how much support there still is for young.  i dont understand why.  we had qbs before him that went to superbowls that lost support way quicker.  thr only qb we had had that started any number of games that played worse than young is clausen.  allen and moore played better and yet people still support him makes 0 sense to me

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      Again, can’t have a serious discussion if constantly wading through hyperbole. And you say that’s not really what was meant, but I tried to at one point get some folks to concede that he was physically capable of throwing a football 20yds just so we could get to a real discussion and they stuck with it. So I’m not sure your characterization is entirely accurate.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      And this is his third year. As far as people not understanding things, I am not sure people accept how difficult it is to remake yourself from the ground up. Which he absolutely has to do to compete successfully at the NFL level.  He takes a step forward with the footwork and a step back when he is stressed and reverts to what always worked for him before. I will say it yet again, anyone that reached a level of success with their self taught technique but needed to rebuild to break through the limitations that imposed, will understand this. I don’t care what specific activity it is the same challenge. Muscle memory and comfort level fight against the new moves you are trying to train yourself to do without thinking.  He is there. There is a ceiling with his technique that is too low for the NFL. He has to retrain himself.  We are in the third year and I guess we are supposed believe that he will be so good  when he finally gets to where the new will be second nature, that we have to wait (how many more years) for him to finish doing it. If he ever finishes.  The sad fact is he will not succeed at the NFL level with his horrible college footwork and compensation moves like the tippy toe drop backs. He just won’t.  If he can’t put that on the table for us, we would be foolish to not seek an alternative plan.
