Cam's value and rebuilding


Bronn

Recommended Posts

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.

    • AT got what he deserved. Be gone and enjoy those 4 catches and the bench and your pay cut
    • we have been bad offensively basically every game Rico Dowdle hasn't gone full Tecmo Bowl Bo Jackson on folks.  
    • Strongly disagree with the premise here. Without getting too into it, the biggest gripe for many has always been his footwork and pocket presence.  Shallow drops, happy feet, bad awareness - his overall technique is highly unconventional and not beneficial to his size/frame.  His upper body gets mad out of sync with his lower, drops back parallel to the LOS, erratic behavior. When you take that to the NFL level, you get swallowed up. And he got shellshocked and started bailing way too soon on plays. Unnecessary throwaways when he should step UP into the pocket and hit.   He got away with it in school because sooo much of his work was out of structure or quick hits to Jamo.  He was able to not bail early and stick in the pocket this last game. He also was dropping deeper than he usually does to create sight lanes. He can’t really outrun DLs so he needs to create that space via drop to survey properly. When he does these bs skip hops in the gun, he barely drops and is flooded. He needs to stay active with his feet but learn to step into the pocket more.  His average arm when he’s not doing this right turns Pennington esque.
