QB starter per Lombardi

just on NFL channel...

Lombardi answers the question of who will start by saying it will probably be DA due to familiarity with Chud's offense but Cam should get in there asap as DA's accuracy is a huge question and our offense will struggle with him. No mention of JC as a possible starter.

This is kind of what I thought on the thread yesterday about who may start next Friday and how many reps they will get.

They can say that they know, but they don't know any more than we do...

I think it all depends on how camp goes. If Cam is ready in the eyes of the coaches, he will probably start. If he's not, and DA looks better due to his familiarity with the system, he'll probably start. I don't think there's any way Jimmy will start, but you never know.

that could be..but i'm not sure he knows what he's talking about. has he seen anything or talked to anyone inside the panthers or is he talking out of his butt?

He is just guessing.

Pat Y seems to suggest his insiders say ideally Cam goes week 1.

I get the man crush on Cam. I am excited about him too. But I don't see how it's so easy to dismiss using useless practices with a QB who knows the system to give the rest of the team more time to get a handle on it. There is a reason he was brought in and logic says he is to warm the team up for Cam to take the reigns.

Anyone who looks at this preseason for the Panthers as a clue to who the staff has fingered as QB1 is not looking at this very intelligently.

    • I don't necessarily think he will be moved, I would currently be leaning against that notion. I think a lot will depend on the coaching situation. Carroll certainly can't be thinking about wanting to go through a serious strip down and overhaul, so the longer he plans to remain, the less likely I think Crosby gets moved.
    • I think everyone says Mike Evans because of size, but really they have different strengths and play styles.  Tmac is better on intermediate routes and not nearly as good at contested catches. 
    • At this point, it is criminal to go into the 2026 training camp/OTA's with XL penciled in as a #2 WR. The team must upgrade, either through free agency or the draft. If he cannot give 100% effort on significantly less snaps as a #4-6 WR(players like Tremayne have done that consistently) then I don't think you have a player worth rostering beyond the trade deadline. Offensively, we eventually have to upgrade to an NFL starting caliber C. It's been almost the length of time from Gross to Ikey since Kalil retired and we have below average to terrible C play. Love Mays as a BC-esque utility backup but he will never be an above average long term starting C.  The TE room is one of the worst in the NFL but it's a low usage position in this offense, so the investments are likely to be small, if any. I would never expect to see an elite TE in a Dave Canales offense. 100% agree on OL depth. We actually aren't bad there but BC will be gone, Mays is a UFA, Corbett is a UFA and Zavala has been both injured and bad. We have to bolster that depth again or resign guys like Mays and Corbett to keep that depth somewhat stable.
