On the one hand, after a showing like Anderson had, and the game they had, St. Louis would probably give us their first or second next year for Anderson. But on the other hand, I like the idea of knowing with certainty that we have a starting caliber backup if and when Cam gets hurt, and to be his mentor.

If I was Getts, I'd certainly entertain offers, but I honestly don't know what I'd do. Fortunately I'm not paid to make those calls.

I'm pretty confident that if anybody offered a 1st or 2nd for DA that he would he dealt, unless we had reason to believe Cam would out for a while.

Lets look at a couple facts and see what we can make of them. Feel free to put down your copy of "Catcher and the Rye" and put on your tin foil hat.

The Panthers have 3 QBs on their roster for the first time since I can remember. Makes sense with Cams offseason filled with surgery and rib fractures.

However, with Cam healing from his ailments, that would make a backup QB expendable at this point. Both DA and J-Webb have proven to be capable back-ups.

The Panthers have been clearing cap space for no apparent reason.

Cam likely could have started week 1, but there may have been some pressure to showcase a back-up QBs talents. It may not have been the main reason, or a reason at all but, it may have played a role in the decision.

OK, conspiracy mode over, what do you think. Are the Panthers preparing to trade away one of the back-up QBs?

We have tons of reasons to be clearing cap space...we have been in cap hell since DG arrived.

And the value of DA is much greater to us than other teams. Webb has none

Based on what the Pats got for Mallett I doubt keeping 3 QBs had anything to do with hoping to create trade bait.

Yea Panthers should hold onto their 3 QBs.  It's a luxury to have 3 guys capable of winning a game in the NFL.  Look at St. Louis!  lol

i honestly think they freed up cap, well because we need it and for it to roll over to next year.

[Gucci Mane]

First of all, we would never get a first or second... Pats barely got a 2nd for Cassel and he did a little more than play great for one game.

 

second of all.. DA said hed rather be here backing Cam up in charlotte than go try and start elsewhere.. i know thats not exactly his choice but is still valuable.

Trade Cam for JJ Watt.

Not a whole lot of love for Joe Webb in this thread.

My thoughts yesterday were that St. Louis was pretty hard up for a QB now.

 

I don't know that they have a team around him to worry about getting a guy like Anderson via trade, but if they didn't completely consider tanking the season I would at least expect them to inquire.

When we kept 3 QBs, Cam's health wasn't a concern for me. I thought back then that we were going to try to move Anderson or Webb before the deadline. It wouldn't surprise me a bit if we did.

Anderson should net at least a 3rd based on his past and his performance in recent opportunities. I also wouldn't be opposed to getting some OL, WR, or DB gain either.

Webb might snag a 6th or 7th. Maybe even more if the other team wanted him bad enough.

The Browns would've been lucky to get a first or second for him coming off of his pro bowl season... no way we would get that.

If he were to be traded, which he won't, I imagine his market is more like a 5th round pick max.

Desperation can do funny things to a team. Week 1, and St. Louis is already down to their 3rd string QB. Unless they just want to phone it in the whole season, it's not that crazy to think they would give up a high pick.

My thoughts yesterday, too.

Come on down, Tavon Austin!!!! lol

if someone offers a second for anderson (which won't happen) you say yes before they can finish their sentence
