We cant win with PJ but Cam isn't the answer

I mean, that depends on the question. Cam is an answer to the "What available QB's are much better than PJ Walker?" question. Cam isn't the answer to the "What QB is the future of QB for the Carolina Panthers?" question.

If I was magically the coach today, I would absolutely be calling Cam Newton. He elevates our rushing game immediately and he can be an upgrade at QB over Darnold. Do I think that leads us to a playoff spot? No. But at least we would potentially have an NFL caliber offense to go with our elite defense.

This is all theory, however. There is no chance Tepper wants to see the guy he jettisoned come back into the building.

He's not better than Darnold.  He's straight trash but better than PJ. See above ^^^^^^

He is better than Darnold. He was better than Darnold last year and he is better than Darnold this year.

We get it, you hate Cam. For the rest of us, we can see that Darnold stinks.

Did you watch the video? Do you see how bad the passes and decisions are?

The guy hasn't been good in 5 years.

I watched a lot of Cam last year. He was terrible in a stretch after COVID, but not bad (better than Darnold for sure) before and after.

On top of that he is still an effective running threat, moreso than Darnold.

Buuut... He's not coming back. Even if the coaches wanted him I'm not sure he'd want to be here.

No. I wouldn't come to this situation either. If I were him I would come if the Saints called. 

As a Panther fan, I genuinely hope Payton decides Taysom The Golden Calf of Bristol is the answer the rest of the year. I will enjoy going 2-0 versus them.

we aren’t trading for anyone.  That would just be flushing resources and picks down the toilet.  

we aren’t a good football team.  That’s with Darnold starting.   That’s with anyone else starting. 

I agree, lose with Darnold or lose with PJ...does it really matter?

      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.
