Hybrid Wildcat?

Hybrid Wildcat? Well how would that work? Well as you all know we have a big tall quarterback that can run like the wind, by the name of Cam Newton. Imagine if we had another big tall quarterback that could run even faster AND catch the ball? We do, his name is Joe Webb. 

 

 

Imagine the look on the face of the opposing defense if we came out with a two QB wildcat package. Hate it or love it I think it would be hilarious. Put Tolbert out there too and you wouldn't know what's about to happen.

 

the possibilities are endless!!!

This is a terrible idea.

 

edit: To expand, we saw last year that the wildcat for us was a mediocre running play at best, esp. in the 2nd half of the season.  While Webb may find his way onto the field, I am never in favor of taking the ball completely out of Cam's hands and using him as a distraction. He is our biggest playmaker.

You know, It's really a mystery as to why we signed Webb, it would have made sense if we had of let Anderson walk. if we needed a QB for OTA's we could of just signed a practice squad scrub.

That's whole pie worthy bruh.

I don't see us keeping 3 QBs, but I love that he's so versatile. Just can't see them dressing 3 QBs on game day, but of course he could dress as a WR and be the emergency QB.

At the same time, we had a hybrid before (Armanti Edwards) with a much more creative o-coordinator by the name of Chudzinski, and he was never used at all.

As Mr Red said, two words, one name

You need some one with real talent not just a scrub to take some of the reps Cam will miss.

Plus we need to find a backup QB for the future bc we are bound and determine to get Cam hurt

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
