Paxton Lynch to the Panthers

Let's play a game: Name the guys behind Cam Newton on the depth chart without Googling it. I dare you. And I admit I had to double check this myself. It's Garrett Gilbert, who has been waived six times since entering the NFL in 2014, and Tyler Heinicke, who is on his fourth team since entering the NFL in 2015. That won't cut it. Cam takes a lot of pounding and always comes back for more, but he's not as young as he once was. Lynch might be a total bust, but trade a very late pick for him and let Norv Turner check him out. Regardless, he's getting booed out of Denver -- literally -- and has to go. (If they are going to continue to berate the QB, some of the boos should be directed at the dude who drafted him in the first-round, too, no?)

 

I realize all these trades are unlikely but I thought this link was interesting nonetheless. Lynch has to be a better option than anything we have currently and his cap hits for this season and next are $2.5-3 million, making him fairly affordable. Any interest in this hypothetical trade? If so, what would you be willing to give up?

Lynch is not an upgrade over who we have.    He’s awful.

I agree with that but we are looking at Gilbert and Heinke, so the bar is pretty low for our backup spot.

No way that guy is enough of an upgrade to trade for.

If anyone thinks Lynch is an upgrade then it's solely from his draft position and nothing else. A 7th round qb moved ahead of him on the depth chart 

[TheCasillas]

click bait.  No one will offer more than a late 7th with conditions for him.

[Devil Doc]

Lynch better than Gilbert... No... Gilbert has high Football IQ, and is a smart player... just lacks experience.

Lynch blows ass. if Cam goes down we are going nowhere. NOWHERE. so you use that year as a blessing, and secure a top draft pick. draft a stud you normally wouldnt not and move on to the next year. 

[hepcat]

No thanks. Teddy Bridgewater? Yes pls.

[ericr0319]

that said, i would trade a 7th rounder for him. 7th round picks are meaningless.

I'd rather have our scrub Backups than Paxton Lynch.

That kid is horrible.
