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.

      Not looking good for TB. Buffalo and Habs fans are the worst so I will be cheering for the meteor.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By frankw · Posted

      Arguing about who had what and who did what with more is just going to end in the same charades. If we're going to waste a lot of hot air arguing then make it about something that cannot be denied. What you are seeing with your own two eyes. Cam Newton was a tremendously talented athlete albeit flawed in fundamental aspects. And although he played poorly in and lost a Super Bowl you cannot deny him that more often than not through his prime his teammates knew they could count on him to hold up his end of the bargain usually and be a key driving force for keeping them in games. Giving his defense much needed rest and motivation in wanting to match his grit as a competitor. That aspect is just not there with Bryce Young. Yeah he's dumped on the Falcons in a dome twice but what about his other 44 games? When has the Panthers defense the last three years ever looked at their starting quarterback and thought to themselves "man I'm so glad he's my QB"?

      Rico walking is no big deal. I'll take a healthy 2024 Hubbard over Rico any time and losing Mays is, again, no a big deal.  Young is signed for what, $35M for the next two years? Say he wants $50M but the FO doesn't. If they put the franchise tag on him, that would be around $55? So basically they are getting Young for the next 3 years for an average of $30M per year. Putting the franchise tag on him wouldn't be my first choice but it gives them an option that wouldn't be locking him into a long term, $50M contract. I'm not suggestion they do that. Just that the option will be there should they get to that point. Hunt is on a 5 year deal which is done in 28 so he either restructures or is gone anyway. Moton will be 35 by then and will either be gone or have diminished playing time. Neither of those players has anything to do with getting Young a contract. The O line is way overpaid anyway. Hopefully by the time they are gone, Freeling and Hecht will be developed and Ickey will be healthy. Young was benched his second year and only got his job back because Dalton was injured. Not sure how you can call that entitled. And I would NOT say putting a rookie QB on a team with no receivers, tight ends or O lineman and then being put with a coach who never wanted you and is fired mid season, is a definition of luck. As far as competition, no team is going to bring in competition for a QB picked first overall - especially given the capital that was given up to get him.
