You're right, no one will trade for him.  But the second part doesn't make a lick of sense.  There is no cap relief whatsoever from cutting him.

This isn't like other situations where a guy has a huge cap hit and it's only partially guaranteed.  Sam Darnold being cut is just 18 million in dead cap, next year only.  Whether he is on the roster or not, we're stuck with it.

Let him sit on the bench.

I know I just don’t even want him on the bench. Brings nothing to the backup role besides just being a good teammate. Rather have a backup that can be competent in the system. Cant stress enough how bad this dude is at football.

If I were him I'd do whatever it took to stay in the NFL then go to Canada if I can't find a team and try and pull a Flutie or Warren Moon.

But what can he do?

He's not even good enough to be a backup in the league.

Even Mark "Buttfumble" Sanchez had a better career.

I think it depends on how they view certain QB’s in the upcoming draft.

Either it doesn’t work out and they have their choice of Corral, Willis, Howell, or Pickett.

Or it does work out and they are probably only looking at a choice between Howell or Pickett.

Additionally, if it does work out then Cam is probably getting a two or three year extension.

How they view the upcoming QBs may be more of a worry than anyone knows. Their previous choices haven't been good. And Tepper may force them to take a guy even if Rhule and Co aren't sold on him just to have a rookie QB on the roster regardless of Cam's status with the team. The longer Rhule and Co are in charge the worse I feel that Tepper made a huge mistake that will set the team back that much further. And Honestly, I don't feel good about Tepper as an owner either. But we're stuck with him unless the NFL forces a sale.

Tepper may have to Jerry-Jones things unfortunately.

You may see a Chip Kelly scenario happen because of this. Tepper may ask Rhule to step back as far as FO decisions and leave everything to Fitt. 

That's not necessarily a good choice either. Yeah Fitt loves to make trades and it can be exciting, but that isn't always a good thing either.

Amen 

Rhule’s moves at qb in free agency and skipping on QBs and  LTs in the drafts is to me egregious and shows zero understanding of the NFL and  set this team back years 

with all the rule  changes in the past 10 years, it’s a QB driven league in the NFL where the best of the best play 

this isn’t Baylor or temple where a coach can pick up some scruff and  ‘coach em up’ at QB.  

if I’m Tepper, either Rhule is gone or some credible nfl talent evaluator is brought in as a consultant to ‘help’ him  

cam Newton has come to try and save yet another coach’s ass and that’s a fact  can he do it…,remains to be seen 

 

Or let Fitterer make the personnel decisions including the draft.

      I think he did a solid job.  Honestly I liked his post game interview the best.  He gave himself a C and said he left a lot out on the field.  That kind of attitude can carry him far.

      This is lacking a fairly considerable amount of context. For one, Adams(age 22) started 12 of 16 games, had 38 rec, 446 yds and 3 TD's on 66 targets(18 less, with 2 less games started). The main thing missing here is that the top two WR's for Green Bay that year combined for about 2800 yds and 25 TD's. Now if you want to throw a more accurate dart at Adams, take a look at year two. This year the production was spread around considerably and Adams didn't stand out from that pack(pun not intended).  So, if XL struggles mightily this season, I would probably keep that comparison in your quiver to counter argue. I would suggest that I don't think that scenario is probably very accurate for most HOF caliber WR's taken in the first round over the past 15 or so years. Adams was the 89th pick overall, as well. A little different hill to climb than XL, although not massively.

      to clarify I am not referring to Will Levis.  Not knowingly.   I just made that up and tried to use a reasonable guesstimate of what else was done.  That sounded in the ballpark.  At one time I did look it all up and there were several teams that had much more successful days downfield.   If that happened to be Levis' actual numbers than it's more of a lucky coincidence.  If memory serves, it wasn't just Will Levis that brought the claim into question, it was SEVERAL teams had better days.  and you are missing my entire point of the subjective nature of it all.  If PFF employee Doug watched Bryce's film and then used his same unique subjective vantage point to grade all 31 other starting QBs.  Then dumped into into a spread sheet, it would a subjective Doug take but at least it would be a level uniform subjectivity.   The grades are done by various people.  All watching and applying their own subjective view to a play.  Everyone isn't going to grade incompletions out the same.  Or completions.   So when you dump it all into a spread sheet and hit sort.....it's not actually a statement of fact as portrayed.  Which is why you sometimes get some head scratching stuff.  I'm not reframing anything.   I don't think.  I just wasn't going to look it all back up so I was talking vaguely off the general issue I have with PFF and treating any random claim they make as the truth.
