Panthers will get nothing for Newton after signing T.B.

Another stupid move. Sign Bridgewater knowing that no team will give up anything of value for Newton now. They will just wait until they  release him ( which they will), and get nothing in return. 

Don't understand WTF this organization is thinking.  Bad moves on a consistent basis time and time again. Just a sh$t show.

No team is stupid enough to give even a 7th round pick for Cam now. We will end up cutting him. New owner, same results. Maybe worse. And now we’re paying more for Teddy than Cam’s 19 million.

We’ll also get nothing for Bradberry, Addison and Butler who are cancelled out for comp picks  (would have been a 3rd, 4th and 5th) by Teddy, Weatherly and Burris. Woo hoo! No need for more draft capital during a rebuild. That would make it too easy. It’s more fun knowing you to hit every pick.

This is a fact. This franchise is so god damn stupid it is infuriating. To treat the greatest QB in franchise history like this is a joke. David Tepper has proven himself to be a complete piece of poo and this is coming from the most anti Jerry Richardson person.

Not necessarily.  Some team may want him and be willing to offer up trade bait to get him over someone else.  

Also - the Panthers could very well play hard ball and keep him on the roster for the whole year.  

One way or another, I'd either sit Cam on the bench for a year THEN release him, or get something for him now.

I agree with everyone that it sucks that we will likely get nothing for cam, but just out of curiosity when do you all think we should’ve traded him to get some value?  His health has been in question for three years. With all these other quarterbacks available why would anyone take a chance?

Still early.  We have some other free agents that will go.  

McCoy went to Dallas.  Irvin and GVR will get picked up.  
 

I am guessing no 3rd’s after Teddy signing.  But 4-6 is a possibility.

    • if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying 
    • So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
