Only reason would be 1. He takes a cheap one year deal and 2. Understands he’s basically a lame duck until a rookie is ready and 3. A rookie comes in at some point. He isn’t the future and don’t see him winning a championship unless the entire team and coaching are above average. Need more for a rebuild.

It doesn't look like there are any great prospects for rookie QBs in this upcoming draft. Keeping Cam lets you put your draft picks into the OL instead of gambling on a rookie QB. Then you can look to draft the rookie QB in 2023.

So does sam, he’s already paid, and it leaves more cap for others and reasonably provides a slightly higher draft pick.

On top of it all, you let Rhule live or more likely, die by his own sword.

Sorry but there are zero reasons to sign Cam. Just digging the hole deeper with more cap and another stupid contract, delaying a much needed true rebuild.

And yea Robbie is a dumbass leading the league in drops, who cares what he says.

I’ll take arod and Adam’s for top of the market money and trade Robby for 3rd or better or keep him and not resign cam… Love Cam and all but it’s time to move on… let arod take over all the decisions related to offense (hell defense too if he signs) either way we need to prepare for a qb coming in next year vet or rookie or both

Says the second most overpaid guy on our team that has Temple in his background.

 

Cam coming back next year? If we don't get rid of Rhule, it won't matter. You could have Brady or Rodgers behind our line, with our coaching, and still be lucky to get five wins. 

How about we get a new coach and let that guy decide on Cam.

Cam is the only guy on the field setting NFL records in a Panthers uniform a unicorn and still underappreciated by too many fans.

If you want to build a team next season to be in win now mode for the next couple years with THIS defense(players) you go with Cam for as long as you can and build the Oline through the draft and FA.

Veteran QBs usually give you the best chance to win as long as you have players around them, that can catch.

If you watched the interview, which most of y'all fuggers didn't, when asked about Darnold Robby changed the subject and didn't answer...

 

Robby doesn’t say too much in pressers and spoke more about cam then I’ve ever seen him speak about anything else. 
 

id like to see Cam come back next year as a bridge to the next qb. Darnold needs to be gone.

Get us some competent Olinemen and NFL level coaching and we are actually a really solid team. Cam still has a little bit of superman in him and with how poorly coached we look maybe we can still get something out of Darnold. Our defense is solid we need two safeties once a better staff moves Chin back to LB. On offense we need to throw every available resource we have at the offensive line. Then in 2023 or 2024 look for a QB so he can step into a good spot with a top 10 defense and a solid Oline.

The problem with bringing Cam back is two-fold.

One, you have to re-sign him.  Why would Cam take anything less than $10m?  His deal with the Patriots was worth up to $13m.  Obviously, he didn't end up getting that.  But that is around the ball-park it would take to bring him back.  Otherwise I think Cam would just retire. 

So let's say he gets $10m.  

Then you have Darnold who is owed $18m.

So to get the most value out of having Newton as a starter as opposed to Darnold, Cam Newton would need to be $28m better than Sam Darnold.  

Who can honestly say with a straight face that the Newton we've seen throw the ball is that much better than Darnold?

It sucks but riding Darnold for one more year is, unfortunately, what makes the most sense unless we're bringing in a 1st round rookie or an elite starter.  We need to stop trying to put bandaids over other bandaids.

Cam might potentially backload a contract with a different HC, I frankly don’t see him returning if Rhules still here. Of course that’s a double edged sword, but I could see him willing to say I’ll do 4-5 with incentives again, for this year.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By cranky · Posted

      It all sounds great. The only unknowns are injuries and how they will need to be addressed. Horn has a history as does the newly added Jaelen Phillips and Cooker has yet to play an entire season as well. And then there are the Ikey's - totally unexpecteded injuries that put a major wrench in your plans. I do think its a great plan though.

      If we pay Bryce like a franchise QB we're completely and utterly buttfuged.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By MHS831 · Posted

      In my view, the realistic expectation for this team to compete will start 2027.  At that time, I think we could be looking at the following (this is HIGHLY speculative):   QB:  You know, Bryce.  I am not a fan, but they don't ask me.  But there is reason for hope--and here it is.  Bryce will be entering his prime.  Since we are likely to pay him, there will be changes that I include throughout this exercise--I realistically speculate on what they are going to do with Bryce and then I realistically speculate on what means in terms of the cap and other positions. Bryce HAS IMPROVED.  The idea is that if you give him more weapons and protection, that will continue.  His career:   At this rate, if his growth continues, by 2027 we should expect nearly 30 TDs and about 12 Interceptions and a Rating of about 98.  His completion percentage should settle at 65-66% or so.  If that happens, you can win with it. The following stats demonstrate how the Panthers will be able to afford it (and re-sign Ickey) My guess is they will require about $60m per year. This is why rookies who can play are important.  It also helps us see the blueprint.  You may disagree, but this is the cruel realities of the salary cap. Robert Hunt:  Cut post June 1 and save $19m.  Who do you replace him with?  Ickey. Tershawn Wharton:  Cutting him saves nearly $15m.  We should all hope to see Aaron Hall (UDFA) make the roster and play well.  Regardless, this is a position we would likely have to address in the next draft. Trevin Moehrig:  Cutting Moehrig as the starting SS saves this team $16.5m.   Ransom will be on year 3 of a cheap rookie deal and should be more than ready to take the reins.  their styles are similar.  Furthermore, FS Wheatley (R, 4th round) will be starting. Taylor Moton:  So much depends on his knee, but I have an idea that he can play another 3 years.  extending him could save the team about $5m per year.  Cutting him outright would save the team about $21m. In the most drastic situation, we have to cut Moton and the other three players mentioned.   We would need (in all likelihood) a starting DT and RT.  It is possible that the DE would be addressed, but Wharton's production (so far) could be equaled by a rookie.  Look for a cut free agent and a 2027 draft pick here.  If you cut Moton, you save $21m, and that would be the only big hole to fill.  Having Ickey at RG gives you some depth at T, and Ickey could be the guy.  T could be pick in the 2027 draft (first round), fwiw.  It saves you $21m while costing you $5m, for example. We get younger, creating a core of Freeling, Hecht, and the RT first rounder in 2027) along with Ekownu (second contract in the $15m range, and Lewis, whose contract would be in the $16m range if not extended.)  The OL cuts (Hunt, Moton) would save $40m.  The OL would get younger and still solid with veterans at G.   By cutting Wharton (no brainer if his play stays the same) and Moehrig (good player--but we have Ransom on a rookie contract who would not be that much of a drop off--if any) in addition to Hunt and Moton, we would save over $70m in cap room. We would be able to give Bryce bag  and we would have enough to re-sign Ickey (if the knee is not too risky) to a Guard contract (probably at a discount, coming off that injury).  Furthermore, we could add a RT in the draft (or a RG if Ickey moves to RT) and that would be the only large hole to fill. Correct my logic if you see issues-- On defense, in addition to the aforementioned, Scott ($2m contract) is out, replaced by a 4th round rookie contract. CB Jackson's contract ($7.8m) expires and he is (possibly) replaced by a rookie contract.  At Edge, patrick Jones II's $10m contract expires and he is likely a reserve, and his role is absorbed by Phillips, Scourton, Princely, and possible an UDFA like Isaiah Smith or a 2027 draft pick.   These productive developmental players over the past 2 drafts will pay huge dividends.  On paper, I see the team getting much younger and possibly better while cutting nearly $100m and reallocating that money to get more production.
