Cam's value and rebuilding

I have to say that, fan-goggles removed, Cam is at least worth more than a single 2nd rounder. I know people are concerned about his health, but there was a market for him even after the injury last year and, with the uncertainty of the QB market at this point, I think he's actually worth more than most people think.

As for suitors, the Bears and Chargers are the first teams that come to mind. The Chargers have nobody at QB, and very little draft collateral. The Bears have less draft collateral, and don't seem to be happy with Mitch.

I'd try hard to get Chicago to take Cam for their two second round picks. I'd send them our second rounder as well. That would move us down in the round, but net us an extra second rounder.

I would then try my damnedest to get Las Vegas to trade up to 7. They could send us their #19 overall, a player, and picks #80 and 81 in the third round. We'd then have picks #19, 43, 50, 69, 80, 81, 113, 152, 184, and 221.

 

Anyone else got any fair/proposed moves moving forward?

Well, we certainly have not boosted his trade value with all of the Panthers’ and Tepper’s statements today.

Bronn, the point is the organization has just told the world they're going in a differenct direction. They already have a new QB. That takes away most if not all of your leverage in any negotiation. They'll likely have to take whatever's offered because teams know you'll release him if he's not traded. 

Plus Cam has all the power to manipulate where he goes, particularly using his injuries to restrict going to a team he's not interested in.

It's already widely reported that a Bridgewater signing is imminent and the Panthers have already publicly said their goodbyes on social media.

Any trade leverage they ever had is GONE.

Sad but true.

The team has handled this horribly. Reports that Newton was "blindsided" by this put the team in an even worse light.

Why would we do that and give up our leverage? Like what sense does that make?

I sense that we were using the Brady holding pattern to get "our guy" and didn't want to wait for NE and the others that didn't get picked to really jump in on Bridgewater.

It doesn't. Just like moving on from Cam while he's at his lowest value doesn't. You figure out a way to let him get healthy and get on the field, even if it's for half a season. Even if it costs you some cap. 1st and 2nd round picks are gold and the key to winning in today's NFL.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.

      That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
