QB Conspiracy Theory....

Recommended Posts

The Theory - Jimmy will be traded to a west coast system in exchange for a CB.

The evidence:

- The coaching staff is only calling short quick intermediate passing plays for Jimmy.

- Jimmy cannot make the long throws required in Chud's vertical passing game.

- The Panthers drafted Cam Newton #1 overall (haven't you heard) AND they ARE calling the vertical passing plays for him, and he is nailing many of them.

Look for the Panthers to continue to call the quick easy stuff for Jimmy. Expect a healthy portion of the same in the first preseason game where Jimmy will once again look like an excellent young prospect. Remember, this season should be his first pro season if he would have stayed at ND.

His game tape will then be shopped around the league to the west coast offenses, letting everyone know we have a need for a solid CB in return.

Now if you will excuse me, I have a tin foil hat to return to PStall.

Love,

Zod

PS... That is all.

More than likely they're calling the short/intermediate routes for Jimmy and the longer stuff for Cam because that's where each of them work best.

I thought the point of practice was to get better at things that are not your best.

This is true, but this camp is unique due to the lockout. They didn't have OTA's to learn the offense. I would imagine more time is going into simply installing the offense than normally would.

They realize they need to get both QB's ready to start and are tweaking the offense for each of them to get the best out of whoever ends up starting. Not that I don't think your idea has some merit, but I question whether we could get a decent CB from any team in exchange for Jimmy. He'd need to have a REALLY good preseason for that to happen, IMO.

    • From Bluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/nutshellsportz.bsky.social/post/3mo3rkrcezs2e  A look at Run Threat Rate across the NFL Run Threat Rate is the percentage of plays where a team either runs the ball or uses play action. This compares each team’s rate when leading or tied versus when trailing to show how much they abandon the run when playing from behind.
    • That's the current dilemma on both parties at the moment. If Ickey comes back too soon, he won't be 100% and his play will suffer. Leading to a potential decrease in his contract. If Ickey is unable to play and sits the entire 2026 season, his contract will still take the same hit since it tells all 32 team that he is not fully recovered. On the Panthers side, I'm sure they would want to keep Ickey if he is fully recovered but he is obviously in a contract year. They don't want to re-sign him to a massive deal since it be too risky and they know if Ickey is able to return to form.  Best case scenario, the Panthers wants to offer Ickey a 1-2 year heavily incentive based prove it deal. However, Ickey would most likely decline the offer and test the market as  another team can come in and offer Ickey a better deal if they are desperate enough for O-line help.
    • They have been giving him a lot of snaps at RT to give TMo some relief in camp. I think that will continue for the time being.
