Who gets signed first: Winston or Newton?

Winston is one of those guys who's capable of being really good, unfortunately also capable of being really bad.

Anybody that signs him is going to have to believe they have a coach who's capable of helping him minimize the bad. But then you have to ask yourself if a QB guy like Bruce Arians couldn't do it, who can?

Depends on the ego's.

I think Cam is going to have to swallow some pride on his contract, and Winston may have to be OK with being on the bench for a bit.

Looking around the league I’m not so sure Cam will start for a team week 1... He may be best off waiting to sign with a team whose starting QB gets hurt. Chargers probably his best bet to start day 1, but honestly no guarantee he’d beat out Taylor...

If you are Cam, you can't worry about that.

I always found it very strange that Carolina never had a QB in house that could even sniff at pushing Cam, but that's what he needs right now....he needs to forget about the politics of the game, and just go sign and work his ass off....

I think that he would beat out whomever is in LA or in NE, if the shoulder would hold up.

I think it will be after the draft, if at all. He may sit out this year and maybe that’s it.

New England has like $3 million in cap space, which I would think had a big contribution to Brady leaving.

The Chargers are in a position to draft a quarterback and have Tyrod which is probably a great deal cheaper than Cam.

theres Jacksonville but they are really excited about Minshew,..

Miami maybe.

Personally I think Cam should go sign as a backup with like Pittsburgh. Ben may or may not come back to form and Cam could start. 
 

Cam could go to Tampa and back up Tom Brady. Brady is resilient but there’s a chance and of course Bruce would do wonders for Cam.

There’s several options like that. Stay in football,.. stay in shape and stay relevant.

Yeah, honestly if I were him I’d go to Buffalo on a really cheap (I’m talking like $5M with heavy playing time incentives) deal to compete with Allen. If Cam gets healthy and is fully invested he’d easily win that competition and make that team a legit SB contender immediately.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
