Realistically, how much time does he have left with the Panthers? Assuming he signs with Carolina for the rest of his career? 

 

At what point does the organization start to look for his replacement? 

 

I think the days of "Grooming" a QB are long gone. You see more of the trial by fire now and it's really hit or miss but lately it's been working for several teams. 

 

What say you?

It's a tough point imo, because if he can still play why would you look to replace him? At the same time, it's best to always be prepared.

At this point, finding a young QB2 that can develop behind him on a low cost rookie deal looks the most appealing. It doesn't create a controversy, it gets the position checked off, and if something does happen to Cam there's somebody who can try and bring the plane in for the landing.

A big telling point is going to be how negotiations for an extension go. If he's looking to go elsewhere, he can and will. If the team isn't willing to pay him, they need to be ready.

I'm not sold on the back up off the bench deal. Sure Rodgers was a back up but most teams draft guys in the top 5.

By next years draft we're going to have to make a move for a possible QB of the future to hopefully learn some things from Newton for however long he has left.

But I really chuckle at how eager people are about this, and how easy they think it's going to be. As if after watching a laundry list of bad teams wallow in misery, and failure for the last decade or more without a QB leads some to think that just won't happen to us at all in any way.

To me every other year or so a team with a franchise QB should invest a day 3 pick on the QB position. Reason being you get two years to eval and move on at minimal cost, but you keep churning the position looking. 

Grooming QB's still exists, but MOST teams will not allow a threat to be on the roster unless they're internally ready to move on from the starter. (GB, KC, BAL) are some of the more recent examples of teams that had Franchise QB's (Favre, Smith, Flacco) but management was ready to move on. 

I don't think we'll be at the point for a few more years Cam's health being the main factor, and it finally seems as if they ''get it'' now as the OL is finally getting some attention.

Agree with this.

I know Cam has run a lot in his career but he's been pretty damn good at not getting blasted and getting down early in recent years. Most of the lethal blows hes gotten were from him standing in the pocket. 

30 isn't old for a QB and Cam looks after his health much better than a lot of other QBs do. I would say if Cam's shoulder is okay he could play well into his late 30s if he wants to. 

Hard to say if I see Cam changing teams. Depends on how much he wants for his new contract, whether the team will be willing to pay that, and especially whether his shoulder is good this season to throw long passes again.

Ideally the Panthers would want to extend Cam during Summer 2020 I'd guess since 2020 season is the last one on his current contract.

      We looked like a competent NFL team PIE thread

      By Prowler2k18 · Posted

      We could easily pick apart yesterday’s game: dropped passes, blown coverages, bad tackling and red zone issues to name a few. But it was clear that this wasn’t the same team from earlier in the season. They fought back and hung with the champs until the end. That’s what I was excited to see and it gives me hope that we’re on the right track.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By Pejorative Miscreant · Posted

      I think BY played well today and exceeded expectations. I will temper future expectations as he has to string together many games of consistent quality. One game doesn’t convince me that he is a franchise QB or even a guy you want to stick with for another season. One game doesn’t erase all the negative play and limitations from the past couple of years. I hope he balls out and continues to get better but for me the verdict is still out   That said, I think he gave the team and fans hope yesterday which is a lot more than what we had when we woke up Sunday morning.

      Bryce Young - Good and Bad, what say you?

      By Ricky Prickles · Posted

      He was vastly improved today and we need to see more of Bryce the rest of the season to continue evaluate him in order to decide what the heck to do with him at the end of the season. He must play at least like this and improve more from here the rest of the season in order for me to keep him. No more 123 yard passing games and want to see at least this output weekly from him. If this is Bruce improving slowly over time then Canales is even better with developing QB's than I thought he was but still too early to tell and we need to see him the rest of the way as he has at very least earned back the starting gig moving forward.
