Cam will start in 2011 if drafted

If Cam is drafted #1 overall, recent history shows he will start in 2011 at some point.

In the past 10 NFL drafts, 25 QBs have been drafted in round 1.

21 of those 25 QBs started as rookies.

The 4 QBs who did not start as rookies, all had starting QBs that either had a Pro Bowl season that year or had previously been to the Pro Bowl multiple times. (Carolina doesn't have a former Pro Bowler or a QB on pace to reach it this upcoming season on the roster).

So if we draft Cam.....you gotta be ready for the Cam era to start at some point in 2011.

Rivera doesn't like starting QBs early.

neither did those 21 other coaches most likely.....but they had to

where is Rivera's pro bowler? b/c history shows that is what he would need to avoid it

It depends how quickly he makes the transition. Rivera isn't going to let him get thrown out there if he isn't ready. It also depends on who Clausen/moore/whoever does when they start.

if we're in playoff contention, he's not going to bench whoever it is for Newton... He'll keep letting him learn on the sidelines.

On the other hand, if he feels he's ready and at mid season thinks aren't looking promising, I think we'll all get a chance to taste the Cammy Cam Juice.

He will start when Rivera feels like he is ready. Hopefully that would be sooner rather than later.

yes, and I agree. But coaches with 1st round draft picks at QB.....get there QBs ready at some point to get real reps for them as rookies.

I think Moore is gone. I still think with an investment like Cam you bring in a real vet....Moore would just take Clausen's spot. Vet, Cam, Clausen...means that Rivera will have Cam ready at some point b/c Carolina likely can't make a playoff run with a washed up vet in the NFCS.

:iagree: What I was trying to say but he said it better.

given who is available and who might want to come here, Moore may be the best bet we have for a "real veteran," assuming we want someone actually capable of playing QB.

Moore is too green to be the veteran aid to Cam though....Moore could still use that. You can always find a washed up guy to take some reps to start a season knowing he would lose the job. Lots of older guys are willing to take a paycheck for that type gig. Carolina is built for a true vet to have life be fairly easy pending he isn't horrific.

The whole we need a vet to mentor stuff is bullpoo IMO. Not only do they not mentor but vets still think they should be starters.

You would be pissed if your employer came to you and said, "Hey train this guy for a year so we can fire you please"

I've kind of come around to thinking Moore might be the best bet as well.

He wouldn't have the pressure of being "the guy", but he is still young enough to want to show the rest of the league what he can do.

Now, as to what you do with Jimmy, IDK. Trade to a WCO team maybe?

Okay, then go back and look at the last 25 QBs drafted in the first round........teams don't think it is bullpoo to have a legit vet on a roster.

If I made NFL money to mentor a rookie late in my career(be in the film room etc.)......I would not be insulted. Happens all the time.

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Jalen Carter came into camp out of shape too. That was part of the reason he dropped considering he was thought of as the better defensive player pre-draft activities. It’s not a good sign when you don’t look great but it’s definitely premature.

      We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)
