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.

      TNF: Rams/Seahawks

      I think the book has been fairly written on Darnold, and by and large stays true. He can be rattled by pressure, and will lose his composure. If a team can get to him and have something go wrong in the plan, the mistakes and errors will pile up. Rams have a better offense, Seahawks sport a better defense. Should be a good 1.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Not a defense of him...an understanding of the problem. (something you seem to be lacking right now) 🙄 Bryce in a Canales offense is not an example of a stylistic mismatch, but I can give you one if that helps. When he was playing for the Panthers, Cam Newton sat under OC's running Coryell type offenses. Newton had a big arm and was a strong runner. He fit into that sort of attack very well. Then he goes to New England, where at the time they were running an Earhardt-Perkins system (similar to WCO In a lot of what they do but very different terminology). The Patriot offenses back then were heavily based on timing and rhythm style passing, not something that Newton was especially well suited for. So he washed out at New England, not because he had poor ability (his abilities had been on display here on a regular basis) but because he didn't fit what they wanted to do with their offense. I always go back to Jeff Garcia as one of the prime examples of this issue. Garcia in a WCO looked like a world beater. Put him in any other scheme though...yikes!  So again, Young's issues here have nothing to do with any failure to mesh with Canales. Hell, is say Canales has actually done pretty well at adapting his system to who he has rather than trying to jam square pegs into round holes. Again, it doesn't take an elite level of football knowledge to get this. It's pretty basic. But if you're not even capable of understanding what the real problem is, how are you going to know you to find the right solution? 🤔
