Doubt inside BofA Cam is the future?

[Ruff]

Let's suppose this was actually true. I would like for someone to make a compelling case for letting Cam go and looking elsewhere at quarterback. How do you make that happen? Don't pick up his 5th year option and just let him walk after this season? Fine, great, who exactly are we getting to replace him? Start all over YET AGAIN with JAMEIS F'ING WINSTON? Does that sound like an intelligent plan?

Or hey, maybe we could sign a free agent QB better than Cam? Hey, let's take a look at those options:

Does 34-year-old Carson Palmer do anything for you? Or better yet, look at who the #2 option is...MATT GODDAMN MOORE.

Maybe we could just let Derek Anderson play quarterback next year? That sound like a good idea to anyone?

So tell me Cam haters and anonymous Panthers front office guy, just exactly how are you supposed to upgrade over Cam Newton? Please tell me because I would love to hear this brilliant idea.

We've already picked up his 5th year option.

[WOW!!]

How many years did Jake get??

[PhillyB]

his source had to cut the interview short and put toilet bowl refreshers in the rest of the 500-level johns

[ctrcat]

The same Bill Rosinski that had a falling out here?  Suuure.

 

Drew Brees wasn't the future of the Chargers either.  Getting rid of the greatest QB in NFL History after 3+ years with scrubs for supporting cast?  Might as well nuke BOA.

Forgot that. Still, what is the plan here? Somehow draft a quarterback that will be better than Cam and start from scratch yet again? Sign a scrub Jake Delhomme-style free agent QB? Let Derek Anderson take the reins? What is this brilliant idea I'm missing?

No idea. Probably draft a QB depending on where we're at in the draft (there are some very good

QBs in this draft that are not named Winston). it would depend on what the new offensive coordinator wants to do.

Honestly, though, it would probably begin with trading Cam before/during the Draft.

I'm not saying that's what will happen, mind you, just how it would play out.

bullshit.

[JJman]

If we let Cam go I'm done. Not just with the panthers, but the NFL as a whole until we show we are determined to win. Not ever has any team been blessed with such an athletic, physical gift at the QB position, and we are wasting it by running an offense around him like he's a 35 year old injury ridden scrub with a spectacular OLine.

[catnip]

I am not bashing Cam or am I a coach., but Cam is no longer a rookie and is still throwing the ball too high for his targets.  this should have been corrected by now.  If we want to see if he is the problem, then start Anderson and see what happens.  everyone on the team is accountable including Cam.  I support him, but its time to play better. Brees overcame two turnovers and put the ball where the receiver could make a play.  I know our O-line is bad, but he should get rid of the ball quicker and not take sacks.  Shula takes part of the blame also.

In some ways I DO want to see Derek Anderson get in, not because he is the future, or even that he is better than Cam. 

 

But it will show whether it truly is Cam or if people are nitpicking.  Cam by no means had a good game.

 

But people truly need to understand besides the blame that he himself shares.

 

He has ZERO proven O-Line besides Kalil

Our Running Game is Insufficient *see above

Our best WR is a Rookie, who lately has the tendency to drop the big ones.(not including the beast that is Olsen)

Lastly in the majority of these games we have allowed 30+ points. A Defense is licking their chops against this OL when they know you are in a passing situation.

 

Don't want to see Cam sit but.

There's only one reason I could see it might be interesting if DA started.

What sort of game would Shula call?

 

 

I guess a close look should be taken of play calling game 1 versus 2-8.

[CBDellinger]

How is he supposed to feel comfortable stepping up to throw when the Oline is getting blown up more than they are not?

Cam is playing scared.

[ctrcat]

The average age of Super Bowl winning QBs is 30.  Peyton Manning took 6 years to win his first playoff game.  Cam IS the greatest QB in NFL history after 3+ years with little supporting cast.  This thread is a world of bullchit.

[Matthias]

Yall looking for Cam to revolutionize the position, but we ain't revolutionizing anything by running college plays.  If Cam doesn't have the will to dissect defenses with his arm, then it is best we trade him now.  If receiver's routes are the problem, ask for shorter routes.  Ask for five receiver sets.  I'm still waiting to see Cam's will to become a great QB.
