I've been getting flamed on another post...I'm assuming it's your turn.

But to answer your question, he should logically sit for a year but with my heart, I want him to start day one. Huge Cam fan here and don't care who knows it.

I think he should sit and play the later half of the season. He going to have to play anyway because we got to see what we can get out of him. I dont want our team to be in a position were we have different QB playing ever week.Once Newton get the job he has it for good.

cam's stardom? seriously? that is what is important?

i guess if you are a fan of the player first, i guess it's understandable and welcome aboard the bandwagon.

but as a panthers fan, i don't care about anyone's "stardom". i just want to win games.

i liked cam the most in this draft because i thought he would be good for the team and help them win. how he is perceived doesn't really matter to me all that much as long as he helps this team win. thats all that matters.

you concerned about his stardom? winning games...thats how he's going to do it. doesn't matter when that starts, just as long as it does.

meh...

Yea and if you take the right steps with the guy you took #1 overall at the QB position you will win a lot of games. Don't get your panties in a bind, we're just talking football.

I want him to come in and run some plays and have a set right off the bat assuming that there is a better option in Anderson. Otherwise the best choice for the Panthers is to put the best guy out there day 1. If that is Newton then let him learn right away. If he can sit back and learn from a better option who knows the offense then I am fine for him to do that.

But to sit him protecting him while someone is awful makes no sense at all. Based on the last 5 years there is not a clear precedent to suggest that playing or sitting is more detrimental or helpful than the other.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
