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.

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

      By cranky · Posted

      Why do you say that. What leads you to think that we, as supporters, think his ceiling is 10-12. That's a ridiculous assumption on your part. The Seahawks won the SB with Darnold passing for 25 TD's, 14 Ints with a 99.1 rating for the season.  The Panthers with Young were at 23 TD's, 11 Ints and a 78.8 rating for the season. Not that far off. The problem with all the Young discourse around here is the assumption that the QB is the sole determining factor for a teams success. That just isn't true and it's certainly not how Morgan and Tilis are building the Panthers.

      Do we pay based on how many wins or how many games Bryce led us to wins? We've spent quite a bit on defense this year and hopefully they're much improved. If the Panthers do get to 10 wins, but Bryce has another year like last year where he showed up big in a couple, was present in a few, and forgettable in most, do we still pay him 50m per year?  I keep bringing it up because I think it's relevant, but Bryce was outplayed by a 6m per year backup last year. I don't see how it's possible to pay a top tier QB contract to someone who's putting up backup QB production.

      Post-Draft: Gantt sets A stage, not THE stage. Perhaps Reset Your Expectations

      By XClown1986 · Posted

      I understand tempering expectations, but there are some issues with his points. Walker was a 3 year starter, but Green Bay let him walk and no other team was quick to snatch him up. That says something. Freeling will compete to start. With Hunter, we rotate our linemen and even 5th round pick Cam Jackson played some meaningful snaps last year. Both Brown III and Wharton have underwhelmed since we picked them up. Hunter is a run plugger that we have needed. Hunter will play early, even if he isn't the "starter." Brazzell was described as one of Canales' favorite prospects in the draft and he has a speed element we have been missing. I think Canales is going to have plays drawn up with Brazzell on the field just out of pure excitement. It will be up to Brazzell to prove he can handle it, though. If he can, he will play. As far as our secondary picks, yeah they have to earn their stripes and Evero tends to lean on veterans. So they might take time, but if they can show they can play, they will see the field. Smith-Wade and Ransom did. Sam Hecht simply has to show he can handle the mental side of the NFL game. If he can, he is in a direct competition with Fortner, who's also relatively young, but also on his 3rd NFL team and doesn't have the power profile of Hecht.  I can appreciate that Gantt wants to pour cold water on what was perceived as an impactful draft, but facts are facts.
