What Greg Olsen’s departure means for Cam

Recommended Posts

Now that we know Greg Olsen and the Panthers are parting ways, what does that mean for Cam’s future with the team?

On Instagram, Olsen posted a long goodbye letter and mentioned he and Marty Hurney had a long conversation and it was clear it was best to part ways.

What was said in that conversation?

Cam would not be a part of the plans next season?

The Panthers are planning to suck for a few seasons?

Whatever it is, the plans clearly aren’t a fit for Greg. And that might mean Cam isn’t in the plans either.

I honestly doubt there's any connection at all. Cam wants to be a Panther. It was clear that Olsen was heavily leaning toward hanging up the cleats after Kobe's death. He may not be 100% there in terms of that decision and may want to see what his football options are, but unless a legit top SB contender comes calling I suspect he'll retire here in a few months and he'll be working football from behind a broadcasting desk this coming fall.

lol people are in denial.

If you can't see by now we are rebuilding I don't know what else to tell you. Tepper said back in December we will be rebuilding for the long term. Luke retires, Greg parted ways, what does that tell you?

The players know we are headed for a rebuild. I expect Cam to probably have a sit down pretty soon and find out the direction of the franchise. Our roster is not going to be able to compete for the next few years. No need to waste Cam's last few years on a rebuilding team.

Time to start speculating on his next destination.

We can make all these moves and still keep Cam. Yes he is in his 30s but he is not quarterback old. Olsen and Cam are not mutually exclusive.

You tell me why does it make sense to keep a 31 year old QB with serious health concerns moving forward on a rebuilding team?

Cam is at a point in his career he needs to be on a contender. Let the man go he gave his all to the franchise. We broke him physically. At least let him have the option to choose his next team.

This has no bearing on whether Cam plays for the Panthers or not next season.  If Cam is healthy it is in the best interest of the team to see if he can still play at an elite level.  It is in Cams best interest to show that he can still play at an elite level in a contract year.

People beating the drum about being player specific fans but are expecting Cam to dip because luke and olsen are gone is pretty hypocritical. 

if you’re a panther fan you’re a fan of the franchise, if you want to be a panther that’s wanting to be apart of the franchise, not hitch your career on to others

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
