How do you tank for Trevor Lawrence if we are bringing back Cam Newton?

Surely Rhule/Marty know this. This is why im not buying Cam Newton coming back. They want a rebuild and preferably with a young QB. They can't rebuild with a 31 year old Cam Newton who may be broken physically. If the goal is to get a top QB next year that wont happen with Cam Newton as starter. Cam will not allow us to be the worst team in the NFL, it's not in his DNA.

Just keep that in mind for those who think keeping Cam and tanking for Lawrence is possible.

Yeah, that’s what I’ve been saying. Getting rid of Cam is effectively tanking. It’s not even trying to lose, it’s the reality that if they start Grier and don’t go hog wild in FA (we could get a bunch of good comp picks), we are right there in the bottom.

I just laugh at the anti-tanking folks when both times we’ve done it, we got to a SB in 5 years or less and got to the playoffs in 3 years both times.

It's not.  We either play Grier and Allen and lug through the season with a sunrise on the horizon, or we keep Cam and win less than 8 games, find ourselves on the outside looking in again, and who knows where we would be with Cam's contract moving forward.

Status quo will put us in the same shopping cart as the Lions....that's no mans land.

I'm not interested in tanking for anybody.

The whole idea is honestly kind of silly.

Depends on the situation. If you're in rebuild mode, tank early.

But if you're tanking for one player to fix your team

 

you're doing it wrong

Tanking for a specific player just isn't smart. The guy can end up getting hurt like Tua or someone could simply suck worse than you and end up getting the #1 overall pick despite you sucking. Then, there's the always present possibility that the prospect you're in love with ends up being an outright bust or perhaps even worse, just decent. Good enough to keep you from pursuing another QB, but not quite good enough to make you a legit contender.

I don't want to tank. I am tired of watching the boys struggle. However, Cam for one year going 9-7 isn't going to make us better long term. If they are going to tank they need to trade him. And if that is the scenario I can take it for one more year to snag a Trevor Lawrence or Justin Fields.

      Cam Newton gets into it with Alabama A&M mascot

      By strato · Posted

      It’s a person that works as a mascot. Who knows what they are thinking? ‘mascoting’ seems to be about doing goofy poo and if you are out there running around with them maybe you are expected to play along.

      Opening night! Nets at Hornets

      By frankw · Posted

      The best thing the Hornets have going for them is the sheer amount of youth they have on the roster. I'm just glad they are playing intelligent team oriented basketball. And they are playing for one another. At the very least this will be a fun team to watch.

      QBs that would cost next to nothing and are better than anything we currently have.

      I always go back to the first game Bryce played in the NFL. I was really bothered by two things. His lackadaisical meandering dropback, no urgency at all. Like what’s the hurry.  And no deep balls.  I don’t know what to say other than put them in the fuging play book.  I seem to remember game after game where someone had done well the previous week and it was promised that they would get them involved more. And then crickets on game day. I think finally we went deep more one game just because of something like that. Memory is fuzzy on the specifics.
