Would it not be smart to keep M.C around?

No lose scenario. He lost a whole season with the injury and never had a chance.

Let him learn with the new pick from our ginger backup. Never know what develops in the long run. Doesn't hurt at all to see if he can develop and be a decent back up when A.D hangs it up.

It makes sense as long as they want to carry 3 QBs.  It's possible they will want to roll with just 2 QBs on the roster, which would presumably be the rookie and Dalton.

I'd be in favor of keeping him.  Worst case scenario, he never pans out.  But his only real cost is a roster spot, and he could be trade bait if he develops.

I doubt he has any trade value so I imagine he’ll have the preseason to show what he has. Staff has zero loyalty to him and he’s not going to get a ton of quality reps but hopefully he’s up to the challenge and can show enough they want to develop him.

He was always a project QB and we traded up to acquire him. He has had almost no real reps and was in the dog house with Rhule for whatever reason. That said, it doesn't hurt anything at all to bring him into camp and let him learn with some people who actually know what an offense looks like. We have nothing to lose by keeping him on the roster through training camp, and possibly into the season depending on how he does against Eason. If he's that bad, stick him on the PS and if he gets poached, then so be it.

That's likely the plan as long as we're not getting offered something more than what we paid for him at this point.  Cheap rookie deal is fine for a 3rd stringer.  We are one injury away from him being a very relevant piece on this team, and that injury/him having some play time could feasibly increase his trade value.

Think bare minimum he should be kept because poo happens in the NFL. Much like SF, our shiny rookie could get hurt and/or suck, and then the franchise is what…Andy Dalton’s? 
 

And as previously stated, he may develop into a competent player that we can then trade for assets. 
 

I know carrying 3 QB’s is becoming less common, but he’s last years 3rd round pick at the leagues most important position.

Should he be cut so we can keep a 3rd/4th nose tackle or safety who would clear waivers anyway (Corral most likely wouldn’t).

 

Oh and someone will mention Eason, but he’s already shown that he clears waivers just fine lol.

I think signing Von Bell actually would allow us to carry 3 QBs a little easier.

By getting him, Chinn becomes more of a utility player than someone locked into one position.  We could go into the season with 1 less player than normal at a few positions, Safety, LB, or even CB, and still be just fine because he is likely to play a bit of all 3 positions this year.

By carrying 1 less player at one of those positions due to his versatility and not needing to be dedicated to one position like last year, it lets us keep 3 QB's on the roster with less strain on the rest of the overall roster.

      Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways.

      Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season.

      Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
