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.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
