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

    • Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?
    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
