QB Options for 2019


Raleigh PF

Recommended Posts

Just throwing a couple of possibilities out there:

1) Teddy Bridgewater. He'll be an unrestricted free agent next year. Teddy is no Cam, but he could be Cam-lite. He's only 26 years old, with low-mileage, so I believe he would be the best fit for a QB with NFL experience.

2) Joe Flacco. Reports are the Ravens are moving on with Lamar Jackson and will try to move Flacco in the offseason. I wish them luck with that proposition, as Flacco has a $26.5 million cap number for next year. If the Ravens cut him, he'll count as $16M in dead cap money. They could designate him as a June 1 cut, splitting $8M over two years. IF that happens, then I'm sure several teams will be in the mix for Flacco and the Panthers probably should be one of them, if they are able to plug the other holes.

Make no mistake, however, Flacco won't be cheap. Considering the state of the cap at the moment, the Panthers would have to seriously consider cutting Cam. The savings would be $16M, which would go a long way towards signing Flacco and, perhaps, plugging another hole or two. The Panthers would take an $8.5M hit against the cap, but could spread that over two years, as well.

Those are the two I found that are reasonable possibilities. 

ETA: The Teddy option is preferable, IF Cam and doctors believe he can recover. The Flacco option hedges that bet and accepts the idea that Cam will never return to his previous form.

It is, but you can't bet the house that the news coming out of that exam will be good. Better to have Plan B, C, D...

I'd rather roll the dice on a Gilbert or a mid-round draft pick than Bridgewater or Flacco. Bridgewater's knee is probably worse off than Cam's shoulder and Flacco has been done for awhile now.

Best option is a QB in the draft in the 2nd-4th round.

Teams that do this have similar track records to teams who march out a rotation of middling free agent QBs each season

There is only one good way to get a star QB.

1. Kaep as backup to a healthy Cam

2. draft/FA to fill holes currently on team

3. reap profits

4. Superb Owl

Should have called these phases like the underpants gnomes on South Park.  And profits it's last.  Always last.

    • I don't really like the phrase, "moral victory". I get what's meant by it, but does that mean that if you do the opposite (play poorly but win) it's an immoral victory? 🤔
    • I blame Evero because he is overrated. Vance Joseph created the defense in Denver that he took credit for. Wilks ran the ball down his throat and Darnold had a 103.8 rtg.  Last year we were decent in yards allowed, and horrible in everything else. Only reason? We kept giving up good field position.  He's had his choice of players to bring in since his scheme is so "complicated." Maybe he should stop trying to be so fancy like running Cover 4 on 3rd and 1 earlier and focus on fundamentals like tackling. These years of Eric Washington, Phil Snow, and Evero must have gotten you confused on what a real defense looked like. Go back and watch the McDermott and Wilks years- this dude is sofT.
    • I tried to make it a point in the opening post that I don't think the offense is a finished product. I think we still need more talent at WR, better play calling, catch more consistently, elimate ridiculous penalties,  and be more consistency in scoring points. I'm just saying, they look markedly better than last year imo. They have scored 20 or more in 6 games and 30 or more in 2 games. And that's particularly notable considering they only mustered 10 points and 3 points in first 2 games of this year and they got blanked on 0 points two games in a row to wrap up last season . I'd say that's a market improvement.  I'm not crowning them and saying we have a top 10 offense or anything.  I'm comparing them to themselves in recent history.
