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.

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      By electro's horse · Posted

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
