Flipside of G'man's Faith in Cam = Derek Anderson is gone. Definitely.

Look at it from a GM's perspective.  We've been paying a $$ premium for a backup QB with a good amount of starting experience.

 

Cam has not only proven himself to be the guy long term, but he has also proven that he can be durable despite his style of play.

 

I fully expect DG to draft a project QB or rummage around the bargain bin for a cheaper alternative. (or both)

 

Bye bye DA. It's been fun.

I don't know how much Anderson's salary is but the only "faith in cam" that would change gman's mind on how much to pay a backup QB is is faith in cam's ability to stay healthy. People still want good backup qbs even if their starter is great, and Anderson wasnt gonna be competing for the starting job no matter what Cam did this year.

DA becomes cheaper every year he doesn't play meaningful minutes. 

When I listen to Gross podcast, it seems that DA is important player for the group and he's a sounding board for Cam. He's better than most backups, I would pay a little more for a good backup, and he likes it here.

DA isn't costing that much.  A little over a million I think. And many people don't know that he's been a wonderful mentor for game.  DA is a quality backup and he helps the team and Cam in a lot more ways than as a saftey valve if Cam hurts his pinky.  We don't need a young buck QB.  Cam is only going into his 3rd year and if you have a franchise QB locked up you don't go looking for his replacement.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By OldhamA · Posted

      I'd hold on to Walker - we have no OT depth at all. Freeling is a block of clay - all the tools are there and he appears to have a great attitude. He needs serious work on his technique to realise his potential though.

      From my watch last night: They weren't trading out of 19 unless it was a daft offer once Freeling got there. They were clearly antsy to get Hunter - and Minnesota actually called to offer the trade down. They weren't trading out of the third round pick once Brazzell fell to it (and Canales would have been happy with him in the second round). They traded back a lot on Day 3 - even if Morgan 'Babe Ruth'd' it with Lee, Hecht and Wheatley; they clearly weren't the only guys they would have taken at those picks. I'm curious to know which player caused the reaction at the start of day 2 (Dan Morgan): "of course they'd pick him"

      Watching this confirms that this staff and front office is super high on Monroe Freeling. I wouldn't be surprised if he's gotta a real chance to win the starting LT job in camp. If he does, we can look to flip Rasheed Walker to a contender desperate for tackle help.   As for Ickey I still really like him and wanna extend him but based on how the staff was talking about Freeling it might be time for ickey to start taking some practice sets at guard if he wants to stay here as we are gonna have to have figure out a solution for the contracts of Lewis and Hunt.  My preferred scenario for the Oline in 2027 is Freeling-Ickey-Hech-Lewis-Moton.
