Colin Cowherd destroying CAR franchise on ESPN radio this AM

Recommended Posts

Hates Cam at CAR. "Will totally implode at Carolina". We'll lose be 0-7 might not win any games. Blah blah.

Yes it's Colin Cowherd but that seems to be the feeling I get when listening to many pundents around the league - CAR is a small market franchise that has nothing to surround a QB and will throw a poor guy to the wolves and everything implodes. No one has ANY confidence we can develope a QB properly. We're going up against 3 potential Pro Bowl QBs in our division 2x every year. They'll pick us apart etc.

Part of this is b/c most around the league DON'T have respect for us or for alot of small market franchises in general that are fairly new. Part of this might be b/c the scenario I described above sounds familiar though (Clausen last year anyone??)

I believe the way to go is to somehow get some veteran (ANY veteran) that has some experience and let him start. If nothing else throw Clausen back out there so at least he can get another shot and KEEP CAM ON THE BENCH! For those that think we should start CAM immediately you are absolutely out of your mind. Unless you just want to ruin yet another QB you have to let him sit, mature and learn!

I believe I see his point on Cam getting destroyed here.

Cam flat out needs to sit for several seasons to learn to play QB at this level. On a team like Carolina he will not have that luxury.

Cam would be MUCH better off going somehwere and sit behind a seasoned vet.

Finally a thoughtful response...

Agreed. Buffalo would have been a good fit b/c they have Fitz he can sit behind.

Again he must sit for at least a good part of this season and learn. If not - oh man....

Cowherd's logic is flawed.....like always.

Yesterday he said he would put his paycheck on Newton being a bust for the following reasons.

Drafted by a team with a new coach

Drafted by a team with a defensive head coach

Drafted by a team w/ a weak WR corp

Drafted by a team in a tough division

That was it.

Well, if that is his sure fire way to tell you a QB will be a bust.....then his logic means he would have thought....

Matt Ryan, Mark Sanchez, Josh Freeman, etc. (ALL 4 points appled to them when drafted) would have all been busts....and those were guys he praised as recent success.

    • Why don't we just say they can shove the late round draft picks up their ass? If they want a player they will be starting at WR in Week 1, I want a MLB in return that we can start Week 1. Starter for a Starter Not Starter for a draft pick we'll be debating whether or not they should make the final 53 man roster in 2026.
    • Why?   No. This isn't a situation of a player we want to trade because we have no use for them.  He's our starting slot WR, our leader of the young WR room, Bryce's safety option the last 2 years who he has good chemistry with. If the Vikings didn't run into WR trouble, we'd never have been even considering trading him, so why in the world should we give him up for fair market value in a vacuum for Thielen and disregard what losing him off our roster will do for us this year? A 5th round pick in 2026 is a negligible draft pick, especially with this season being so make or break for Bryce and Canales.
    • The Vikings acquiring all these late round picks has me feeling like we're about to see another CMC situation play out here. Trade a player we really like for the equivalent of what we want for them on the draft pick chart, but because of a bunch of late round picks instead of the one pick value we actually want. Which will do the same thing in the end, nothing, because 6th and 7th round picks rarely work out to begin with, or we're just going to use them to move up 10 picks in the 3rd or 4th round to take another DJ Johnson
