Thoughts on putting Cam behind this line?

Cam's probably taking a look at these O-line signings and that's gotta be more attractive than whatever Seattle is piecing together. If CMC is healthy and Foreman can do the short yardage stuff I'd definitely be happy w 2018 checkdown/Occasional deep shot/RPO Cam. I think his biggest physical loss at this age is the scrambling in the pocket.

Some of y'all need to let it go. We just missed on DW, we have a good defense NOW all we need is a good/great QB.

Y'all are all in your emotions because Cam is the best free agent QB that will even talk to us.

His numbers last season in limited time would have been way better if he was throwing to Zylstra, our stars were underperforming by dropping and they know it.

Had that Cam, healthy Cam, NFL arm Cam, still dual threat Cam had a training camp with DJ, Robby maybe things would have been different.

If he couldn't throw he wouldn't have played for the Patriots or the Panthers that argument is nonsense, stop it.

Good thing he's already been in a Superbowl and already won NFCS and NFC Championships and is an experienced vet leader.

Good thing he's not actually shot and can give these players what they want and deserve, a chance to win.

Get out of your feelings.

Dunno how much cap space we have left, but if he would take a $10M-ish deal with incentives up to another $10M if he's the starter, with a whole offseason to learn the playbook with an upgraded O-line, it should be a no brainer for both sides. They're obviously finally building a QB friendly team through FA, hard to tell if it's to bring in a vet or draft a guy at this point

We can do both. I just don't think this FO has the discipline to pick the correct QB in this draft. Their best hope is free agency though and here's Cam. Why not. He's actually done it before and is in his still early thirties and great shape, bringing the pain setting TD records.

I don't get this Cam hate. Cam has never been Drew Brees. Not his fault coaches tried to put him in a box. You have to measure Cams ground game and threat there of or your not measuring him fairly.

He can put up stellar stats, we've seen him do that. He can also still run over DBs and LBs into the end zone, he proved that. Still enough arm to overthrow Robby full speed.

Good thing is he went to QB School in New England. He's more patient, mature in his reads. Yes.

He can also read the Defense pre-snap which was a Mcadoo trait when he did well with Eli. Sam has no clue what's going on, Baker is questionable and Rhule shouldn't be able to trade anymore draft picks for another gamble. Plus all these FA's we just signed probably all know and love Cam and know he'll bring the juice at all times good or bad

Let’s say he gets the start. Whatever your stance, get your opinion in now so regardless of how he performs there are no excuses by the end of the season. If you’re claiming this line is legit now and we bring back our same weapons from last year with a healthy CMC and Cam doesn’t perform, there are no excuses left. 
 

If he does get the start, which I don’t think he will, I hope he does well.

Incentive based. Ok maybe $6M with incentives up to $10-15M if he's the starter/playoffs etc. Teddy just got $6.5M with incentives up to $10M for Miami so that's kinda more realistically what I'm thinking the market value is for the situation

Take away the Rhule factor and Cam would easily beat out Sam and PJ in a training camp scenario

Agreed but that’s not saying much. I still think we draft our guy or bring in another FA QB which I’m against.

I think we're set up perfect for that scenario aside from Rhule trying to save his job. Fitt basically just saved his own job with these FA signings and I'm worried Rhule is gonna muck the QB situation up somehow in panic mode

Cam Newton will not be returning to the Panthers most likely. Seattle has offered him a contract but he’s weighing his options. 

Not necessarily. Sea offense is trash now. Just depends on where Cam feels most comfortable.

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      TAMU had such a weird draft. Usually you'd be bragging your ass off about three DL drafted in the top two rounds except that the narrative around all three was about how badly they were misused by TAMU. LOL

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By Icege · Posted

      Many Panthers fans are already excited about second-round selection Nic Scourton for a variety of reasons including but not limited to: the Panthers needed to recharge the position group, Scourton had a late first-round grade according to many (including the Panthers), and he fit this season's modus operandi of stopping the run now and forever. However, Scourton was seen early on as one of the top-3 EDGE guys in this class but fell due to not having quite the season at Texas A&M as he did prior at Purdue (his sophomore season). It's been revealed since then a few different things that speak to that dip in production... Texas A&M, for one, requires each player on their line to be able to hold two gaps. This also explains why we saw low production across the board from the other two TA&M prospects but were still being heavily touted. Scourton was also said to have bulked up to 280lbs in order to fulfill this role and noticeably suffered from it. He's expected to play this season with Carolina at 255 - 260 which is very different from most situations. In most situations, teams are wanting players to gain 15 - 30. Since Scourton is going to be playing at his Purdue weight, I thought it would make sense to dive more into that tape. Y'all... we might have gotten something special... Let's take a quick peek at the stats before we start drooling over some highlights. First, a summary of the last two seasons for Scourton: Second, the game splits: The first thing that pops up for me is how Scourton's sack numbers were cut in half his senior year. We've already pointed out issues with scheme that impacted the TA&M linemen from racking up numbers, but seeing the game splits it's clear that Scourton didn't exactly feast on inferior competition while at Purdue. He had two two-sack games (vs. Michigan (2023 - 2024 champs), Indiana) and a 10-tackle game (vs. Nebraska). I also see the 2024 games where he went up against two top-10 tackles (Will Campbell from LSU + Armand Membou from Missouri) that I watched leading up to the draft.  For those who just want a summary: Scourton looked elite at Purdue and is going to be rotating in often during his rookie campaign. I originally had him penciled in as the second-string, strong-side edge defender behind Clowney but I wouldn't be surprised to see the team have him and Pat Jones II moving around when they rotate in in order to find where Nic looks best. Here's a highlight reel to replace that Cialias you lost in your recliner tonight:   For those that want a little more: Below I'll be linking the linking the five games I've mentioned above. If you plan to watch all of them, I highly recommend going in the order listed as that will allow you to see him vs. Campbell and then Membou while dealing with the aforementioned things he dealt with at Texas A&M before seeing him look unstoppable in 2023 when he was allowed to play both at a comfortable weight and in a scheme that didn't require him two cover two gaps nearly every play. vs. Will Campbell (2024) vs. Armand Membou (2024) vs. Nebraska (2023) vs. Michigan (2023)   vs. Indiana (2023)

      PFF raves about our draft. The best class in the whole draft?

      By Tr3ach · Posted

      Yea, i honestly think he had almost as much say as Dan.  One of the main reasons I think that is Eager has said before he was ever with the Panthers, that you trade away picks for a qb and for any other position you do pick swaps, and that's exactly what we did.
