I did not read the entire thread, so excuse me  if I repeat a thought, but I  am sure that you  all  will torch me for the last part of my epiphany.

They were going to lose him  at the end of the season--not worth the second contract.  KB would demand a $55m contract.  Not getting that here.

Now the part that will get me some turds:

1. He reported to camp a bit overweight.  Some of you  pointed out that he  got  in shape by the beginning of the season.  The offseason is to get better--not to get fat.  KB should have been tweaking his game, not dieting and running sprints

2.  Cam is better without  KB.  Yes--I said it.  in 2015, Cam spread the ball around nicely.  I forget our record that year (sarcasm), but  the team underperformed the year before and the year after.  Hmmm.  

3. Our  offense is a dud.  KB is not getting open.  He is  running  bad routes  and is not hard to cover with 1 player.

Watch--our offense  will open up with him  gone.  Trust me--addition by subtraction.  NOT because  KB sucks,  but because  he  does not make  others  better.  Our  offense is slow and lumbering.  KB had 8 games left and would be gone anyway.  Funchess has been better, so...

A third rounder is not a bad trade---we got Olsen for a third rounder. 

Folks--our  offensive woes were not all OL--that is what you see on TV...Our  big  WRs are not getting open.  I am not distraught about this--sorry.

I agree with this. I'm not mad at the trade, I just wish we could've gotten more for him.

I doubt that offer is there after the season. 

I believe it is, we basically gave KB away for a 3rd, 7ths rarely make the roster.  13th over pick for scraps which means we didnt care what we got in return.

I'm getting so drunk tonight.

So do all you "big picture" thinkers and fans think I am still off base by saying that Cam is on his last contract here?  I think he has 2 years left after this one.

 

That is why I said we should draft a QB, especially since Anderson is gone after this season.

and we do all of this before the Atlanta Falcons game..

yes, to the tune of 8.5 million...that is now cap space, that we desperately need.

True.... But everyone is goign to be pissed when its used to give extensions to Stewart and Ryan Kalil..

 

Also- at some point in his tenure I'm sure Cam would like to have a legit, NFL caliber receiving corps..

If we don't trade for a WR this season is over.

we cant trade deadlines over

This is basically an admission that our 1st round pick was a bust.

Why would cam stay. Won't get him weapons and won't protect him. fug this team

Give Hurnia a grand tour of the Panther dungeon - Dilly Dilly !

You guys that are happy about this do realize the Panthers will have to sign, trade, or draft a receiver next off-season right? This means the Panthers roster, already riddled with holes, now has more. Don't be surprised by the Panthers taking a receiver in the first next year, just like when Steve Smith and Brandon LaFell were let go.

I feel bad for Cam. People will continue to talk about his inconsistencies.
