If we continue to lose and miss the playoffs then IMO DG does several things:

1. Shula is gone. He'll bring in a different coordinator to see if Cam is able to succeed in a different system that he decides will benefit Cam and test him at the same time. If cam flourishes as would be the hope...Cam stays and gets a big deal.

2. He'll draft a QB early in case Cam bolts (assuming no new contract before the draft...which is the expectation). This will also put pressure on Cam to step up and be a winner as well as allow whoever he drafts to learn from the new OC who will have an offense DG approves of.

3. Draft weapons and bring in talented OL for Cam. This roster sucks. Outside of a talented TE, WR and center the offense is garbage.

Bottom line is that he's going to give Cam every chance to earn that cash but at the end of the day it's going to fall on Cam bc the guys holding him back (Shula, sucky OL) will be gone long before any contract talk is made.

We picked up Cam's 5th year option.

Franchise tag.

I would never franchise my QB. After 5 seasons you should know what you have. Either offer him a contract or let him go. I, personally don't want to get into Jay Cutler territory where we are paying a guy a huge paycheck with no real shot at winning. There are just team out there that have built their team with expensive QBs and you know they aren't winning anything of substance in part bc of their QB..Bears, Lions, Falcons, Chiefs. They all have QBs with huge contracts and virtually nothing to show for it.

Not saying Cam is in this territory but if after 5 years you still aren't confident enough to lock him up would indicate he'd be heading there.

Peyton didn't win a playoff game until his 6th season.

Every decision Gettleman makes between now and his firing needs to be with the intentions of Cam Newton succeeding. If we have to replace Cam, Gettleman will be gone anyways. 

 

Fire coaches, cut players, but we do not need to waste a draft pick trying to replace our franchise QB. Get guards and tackles instead.

This is the plan. It'll all happen in the next 1.5 seasons. Coaches will be canned, guys will be replaced all in an effort to continue to evaluate cam before the contract.

I don't think Cam is the issue. I think play calling is the issue. Considering we ran exactly one play into the endzone with our 6'5" receiver during 3 redzone trips. Playcalling was much more of the problem.

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      By mav1234 · Posted

      I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...

      Would you trade Ickey

      Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves
