If we trade Cam, does that mean we are going after "our guy" in the draft?

Who in this draft is our guy supposed to be? Seriously, is there anyone in this draft worth selling the farm for? 

Desperation makes people do really dumb things, I just hope we don't get so desperate and dumb that we overrate some average Joe so much that we do that.

IMO not necessarily

 

Ive been repeating myself from various different posts, but I really think its a possibility we have a "recovery year", where we get rid of old guys, deal with and just take on all the dead cap we have to get it over with so to speak, and play young guys to see what we have, and to develop them. Not a true tank, not trying to lose on purpose via game plan, but putting a limit structurally roster wise for how good we can be so we get a high pick next year. So a productive tank so to speak. 

 

Getting rid of Cam doesnt mean we are going after a guy for sure..  could be..  but it could also very possibly be the fact that we ate trying to get what we can for him while we still have the chance

I think when we move from Cam it doesnt mean we have our guy I think its just part of the elongated process Tepper has referred to.  Step 1.  Figure out your roster as it stands/  2. develop a plan 3. draft players that fit 4. develop

 

I dont think they do anything drastic this draft in regards to a qb.  There is no rush to "win now"

If we trade Cam, we're admitting we're in full on rebuild mode.

That should also mean that CMC and everyone else is up for grabs too.

If you're in rebuild mode, you liquidate any potential leverage you have for the next few years.

If we want to try to still be competitive, Cam Newton will be our QB in 2020 and beyond.

When is Cam suppose to be healthy enough to pass a physical? Nobody mentions this but how do we trade him for this upcoming draft when he’s still recovering from injury? I’d imagine this would be for next years pick(s). 

Most reports say February or March.

Also possible.

Nobody knows for sure. It's just the expected projection based on the word of his doctors and medical experts.

I’m pretty sure we get two early extra weeks of ota’s because new coaching staff so that maybe where that came from.

No offense but I’m trying to figure out how anyone could look at a team that finished 5-11 and was non competitive after the midpoint of the season, then promptly lost the greatest MLB of his generation to retirement and expect that team to be competitive next year. 

I think it’s a foregone conclusion we’re in rebuild mode for at least 2 years minimum, maybe longer.

Its quite baffling.  Factor in a first year coach and first year OC we are firmly on step one of a NFL rebuild.

      Panther Needs (3/14): The Shift to Defense

      By shaq · Posted

      Darrell Jackson would be a fantastic pickup for us, I think he could replace 80% of what A’Shawn gave us last year. With more passing rush upside going forward in the future, I’m a big proponent of large framed defensive tackles. Pairing Derrick Brown with another 6’5 35inch arm length DT would be so fun to watch. Let’s continue being huge in the middle, allow our linebackers to flow to the ball uninterrupted.

      Fully agree that the best thing to do is ignore them, which takes a away their thrill of thinking they got to you.

      I agree with you on the pick of Thienemen in the first. I think he will still be there and he's a smart, fast and sturdy player. He's who we need back there. In the second, I like Rodriguez over Golday. I agree that off the ball linebackers are desperately needed here, even with our great FA pick up. I think with our third pick, we're going to dip into OT territory instead of the D-line. While I agree that we need another disruptor at the point of attack that is stout enough to just stonewall a center and a guard at the same time, we've got a shaky and expensive O-line at the present that is just about to age out of the game. I think we snag Blake Miller out of Clemson here and give him a year behind Moton to learn and put some weight and strength on. He can also jump right in and play right guard at any time. Also, and this might sound crazy, but anyone who has put up with multiple seasons at Clemson will be able to take the heat and humidity of training camp at the start of the season and early games against the NFCSouth.  Beyond that, your guess is as good as mine. We do need that QB for competition and realistically to study for back-up. Luke Altmyer out of Illinois seems to fit the mold of the point guard type QB that they want from Bryce. That'd make an apples to apples situation that could make coaching and game planning easy. On the other hand North Dakota State's Cole Payton could be an intriguing choice as well as a big dual threat guy. Both could be there for our fourth pick or both could be gone. Will QBs continue to slide this season like last? Who knows?
