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

      Very intrigued how Morgan and Canales handle the offseason

      By ProcessBlue2 · Posted

      Dan tends to attack one specific position group per offseason and the sprinkle others throughout the roster. He extended Moton, signed Hunt, Lewis, Nijman one offseason and then extended Brown and signed Wharton and Hunt and drafted Jackson next offseason. My guess is he attacks LB and Edge this offseason.    1. What do you do with Icky? Likely a scratch for next season and due a massive contract (if healthy) They will bring back Nijman and Christensen and draft a guy on Day 2 is my guess and hope one of them can fill the hole. 2. Coker has the talent for 2nd WR, but do you pay a guy who gets hurt that premium? I think hes your number 3 simply due to risk. Will the Panthers seek another vet or go surprisingly high in the draft? They will probably sign him more and longer than the RFA Tender to keep him happy and not break the bank in the process. Can see them getting a Vet in FA like Tutu Atwell or Hollywood Brown. Somebody with speed but also isn’t overly expensive. I think Horn and Tremayne stick around and unfortunately Legette. I wouldn’t be surprised to see Tremble released and a real TE in brought in, there is a good FA group this year. 3. Do you give X more feature time? Or cut bait now? I wouldn’t be surprised if they traded him but I’m willing to bet he gets one more year. Maybe Canales can find a role like Shenault had with McAdoo.  4. Planning the long term/short term on OL Like I said I think Christensen and Nijman are brought back for T with a Day 2 rookie and prayer something sticks. Moton, Hunt, Lewis return ofcourse. Probably resign Corbett as a safeguard at Center but I think they go C in the 1st or 2nd. Wouldn’t be shocked to see Morgan trade to the back end of the 1st to get a solid C and add picks. 5. How do you address LB? I think Rozeboom leaves. Hoping CJ Allen or Sonny Styles is still there is too big of a risk. They probably go get Kaden Elliss or Leo Chenal and pay good money for them. Maybe a guy on Day 3 for depth with Cherelus and Martin-Scott. Also think he takes a swing at Edge, wouldn’t be shocked to see Hendrickson or Oweh here.  6. Do you bank of Chuba bouncing back?    I think Chuba remains Chuba. There are some decent change of pace backs out there this year that will be cheap. Still developing Etienne and Brooks may be healthy. I think it’s Chuba and that crew maybe a veteran that’s not Dowdle. More like Deejay Dallas who was here already once.    I also think Dalton calls it and they get an upgrade at back up. Nobody that wouldn’t endanger Bryce’s job but somebody that isn’t 55 years old either.

      This is my answer. If I got board I would just do guest drop ins to obscure podcasts but would definitely collect the cash from Tepper.
