This is not a Cam Newton thread.I cant imagine Cam will be ready when the season opens given the lack of time tp prepare.What FAs are going to be availible that will sign knowing they will eventually be taking a back seat. Bulger comes to my mind. I think MMoore will move on.

To me they must do more than offering up Clausen or Newton as a human pinata.I cannot imagine JR wanting a repeat of last year.

Matt Moore but he is also young enough to be long term solution but that does not fit the plan with Cam. Plus Matt owes us nothing and it doesn't really help him all that much to resign with us.

So I would say an improved Jimmy Clausen because then he'd either be all world and we extend him or maybe he's just pretty good and we can trade him.

fixed.

At this point it has to be Newton starting from day one. I don't see any other option.

I disagree.We need a veteran qb on the team for a number of reasons.What if Cam bombs do you put in Clausen? Who is going to mentor these guys? We need a guy to compete until Cam or Clausen are ready.

I think that the silver lining to all of this might possibly be a significant drop in expectations by the media and fan base as far as Cam Newton is concerned...

This (gasp) might be exactly what the Dr. Ordered for us... He already doesn't have to live up to that ridiculous 1st overall pick contract... This might just be working out for us.

Now whatever He does he'll be praised for... Lack of camp time, lack or reps... As opposed to taking the full blame if he falters...

Just TRYING to be positive during all if this...

Well let me put it this way...we will need to sign another qb...who should it be? MMoore is a possibility or do we go for a more senior qb like a Bulger or Grakawski? We are obviously not going for a high salary guy.

JR cannot have a repeat of last year so other than a new coaching staff which will help and the return of Otah who may or may not contribute and signing an TE that may not make through camp how are we going to compete?

Cam may well be our starter day 1, but I say we're getting either Bulger, Volek, or Gradkowski. Hasselback goes back to Seattle, Arizona gets Kolb, Buffalo is trying out Fitz for at least another year, Alex Smith seems like he's staying in SF with Kaep as his backup. We're in good position to get Bulger, hell maybe even McNabb which wouldn't be that bad. A hell of a lot better than last year.

Overall, we'll be searching for a vet QB probably along with the Vikings, Dolphins, Redskins, & Titans.

It just depends on what our coaches are thinkin

      BREAKiNG NEWS: Panthers interested in trading for Trey Hendrickson

      By frankw · Posted

      Dugger would cost $23.5 million in dead money if they cut him. Sounds like a trade is the only option. I'm more concerned about LB at this point.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      I am not the one pitching a fit, frank. Again, I don't agree with this notion that Dalton is some washed up scrub. He is one of the better backup QB's in the NFL. Despite that....he isn't gonna walk in there and start rattling off wins. Jesus....what backup QB in the NFL right now is?? We. Stink.  A competent backup exists to not immediately sink the ship if he has to play for a few games. Dalton is capable of that. Losing games slightly better or worse than Bryce.  If you want competition for Bryce, WTF are you bitching at all of us for? You think we are David Tepper, Dan Morgan, etc? I don't have any control over the ignorant poo they do.  Sure, it would be great to have invested some resources in a young QB but you also have to be realistic about this roster. It still sucks. We have holes in every possible direction, our depth is a fuging joke and our starters are about as bad. It's genuinely a luxury to be taking a young QB anywhere either than day 3, especially with how weak some of the recent QB drafts have been. And we all know that those day 3 QB's are probably less likely to pan out that some special teams caliber OL/DL/DB/etc.  I don't blame them for not spamming pick after pick at QB because they already have a massive investment in Bryce. That's the fuging business part of the NFL, like it or not. If it doesn't pan out this year, I fully expect a pivot and given track record, I am quite sure it will fail spectacularly as it has almost a dozen fuging times since Cam's arm got nuked.  Welcome to Panthers Nation, buddy.

      I really hope we keep all 4 + 7 WRs. I like Blackshear, but Etienne has shown that he's more than capable as a returner and RB3. Idk if he's still PS eligible, but that'd be a dub if he could still be stashed.
