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

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.

Luke doesn’t signal a rebuild to me. Cam being traded or released does. We were 5-11 even with Luke on the worst run defense in the league. Love Luke but his position isn’t close to as impactful as a qb.

although I’m at the position that Cam going elsewhere is better for Cam to prolong his career. And selfishly I want him to go to Chicago so I can go watch him a couple times a season.

Jerry Jeudy is not a QB!

I’m more or less where you are. I love Cam, but I think if he wants to do anything meaningful with the rest of his career he needs to go elsewhere. Anyone who thinks Cam is gonna okay til 40 like Brady and Brees and other league darlings who got protected by the refs with flags when anyone even looked at them funny, and whose teams out decent lines in front of them to protect them is not being realistic. If he’s lucky he makes it to his mid 30’s, which means his last few good years would be wasted here while Rhule rebuilds.

I feel like the guy in the ship that’s sinking telling the one dude with a life jacket. “Save yourself. We’re already doomed. No point in you going down with us.”

I'd agree.

Newton's next contract is conceivably his last contract. Having that be with a team that's starting over with a new coach and a new system and is going to be rebuilding for a while is something less than ideal.

Or it could be like this season where Lamar Jackson is probably winning MVP for the Ravens and we all watched Joe Flacco get benched for a rookie QB in Denver.

Just because we trade Camdoesnt mean anything.  We could be doing Cam a favor so he isnt playing on a team that A)is rebuilding and B)going to have a terrible offensive line.

 

We will probably bring in a veteran QB this season and draft lineman this draft. Next offseason we will draft a QB.

QB possibilities (All have their issues..not surprisingly):

Justin Herbert (at the Senior Bowl) (Great arm and good mobility and great size) (I suspect that the Panthers will be particularly eyeing Herbert at the Senior Bowl and we might have to move up in the draft to get him if he performs well at the Senior Bowl, combine etc.)

Jacob Eason (great arm and size) (a but raw, but the skills are there)

Jamie Newman (dual threat QB) (good athlete and arm)

Jordan Love (Project) (Changed systems this year, which hurt him )(at the Senior Bowl)

Steven Montez (Project) (at the Senior Bowl)

[LinvilleGorge]

Montez sucks. I wouldn't even draft him in the 7th.

People are on drugs.

Cinci is not going to part from Burrows barring some Kevin Costner movie where he feels he’s the only guy in the country with the Browns of all teams that thinks he will bust.

The same thing for Herbert and Tua— only if the other teams think they are busts and we get left holding the bag.
