Carson Palmer scenarios

The ONLY way I would even consider trading DeAngelo and our 6th round pick for a washed up Carson Palmer would be if we also got their 1st or 2nd round pick. Which is not going to happen.

Stick with Clausen.

This i dont know why people want to get rid of Williams so bad and for so low (same thing for Steve Smith)

Yeah I know DeAngelo's the best RB we've ever had and it's not like he's nearing the end of his career. I think we should re-sign him to a 3-4 year deal and pay him what he deserves. Stewart is the one I would have to think about re-signing based on his injury history. That said I would love to see a few more years of Double Trouble.

We have to resign DeAngelo. Front load his contract or give him a nice guaranteed amount of money. That way once he starts to decline we won't be paying him a high salary and he can be reduced to a backup role. He has elite vision. McGahee is set to be released for those who want to trade him and would like an affordable alternative/backup.

I would definately trade for Palmer. He would be a great stop gap QB while Clausen or whoever develops. But I probably wouldn't trade anything more than a 5th for him. And on the terms that he will restructure his contract to absorb a lower cap hit.

As for Pike. I would trade him for a 12 pack. And that's selling high.

Now that I think about it I'm actually looking forward to seeing how Tony Pike will do in our new offense.

Sure, if you never want to see a deep pass completed again. Dude has no arm or zip on the ball. People complain about Clausen's arm strength, I would hate to see what they say about Pike.

    • So, objectively, you'd say from a holistic review of Rico's performance and the team overall there were at least a dozen players on the team that performed at least as well if not better in their roles?
    • I'm not a huge fan of BY, but he does have some clutchness developing
    • While you're correct, people are just sick of being told, "you don't understand this, you're dumb" despite what their eyes say. This applies to the Panthers and anything else in life. This board can be a miserable place, but this isn't the old days anymore because Social Media & Reddit have hijacked old-school forum users.  I have in the last year or so taken a massive step back from Social Media & Reddit. Deleted accounts on both, I only have X/Twitter now. But I was looking for an outlet for Panthers talk and I did not want to do that on X much at all. There are only two legitimate outlets for that I've found, here and SB Nation. SB Nation I used to partake in, but they absolutely bumble-f*cked the comments section, and I like the setup of the posts + comments, as opposed to article + comments. Also, as others have pointed out, being a Panthers fan has been a horrendous existence since Cam left. Just an awful crew of coaches, draft picks, trading away great players, etc. It's been miserable.  Ever since Tepper bought the team, I hoped that he commit to a full rebuild. He never did, he thought there were shortcuts and so did Rhule. This hamstrung us for years, and then he massively overstepped with the BY trade.  This ruined the team building, because there was no depth, and then it ruined nuanced BY discussions because of the insane haul we gave up. He will never live up to that, I think many people are finally wrapping their heads around that now which is good. The best thing for this board to get better is for the Panthers to win more, draft well, and to stay committed to crawling through this Andy Dufrense poop-pipe to escape the depths of NFL hell. It will be ugly and stink along the way, but you can see already this year if we commit to drafting then the team and the vibes can turn around quicker than you think.  I am extremely optimistic about the draft class this season, it's something to watch, talk about, and celebrate. It also gives Dan and I think by extension Dave Canales more of a leash, which I think we need to give them and grant them the time to turn this boat around.
