So true. And to think that you may be labeled anti-Cam just because you can see life after Cam, and/or the real possibility that we actually need higher quality Cam insurance. Who knew?

Pretty much. I think that's why some go crazy at the idea of drafting a backup high enough to also be a potential successor. They see it as a threat.

Newton isn't actually Superman. Injury has taken It's toll on him the last few years. He can't play forever. It's by no means guaranteed that he'll be around long enough to get a ring with the Panthers. And yes, it's possible that the Panthers might not be willing to pay what his agent wants to extend him when his contract is up.

These things are all objectively true, but any acknowledgement of them causes serious pearl clutching.

But like it or not folks, there is still going to be a Panthers team after Cam Newton. Maybe there won't be for you, but there will for the rest of us.

Grier looks legit to me. I don't know why people are so dead set against him.

Yes you do.

Gonna be a lot less fans on here rooting for the Panthers when Cams career is over. Will be great for this forum, not so great for the Panthers.

Grier has to be one of the targets for our 3rd round picks. 

Which pick is the question. I would hope it's pick 100, and sure as hell not 77. 

Have wanted this for months would be great

It may come as a surprise to some but drafting Grier, Thorson, Stidham, etc. doesn’t preclude us from drafting Herbert next year if the other three obviously aren’t NFL material.

There is nothing about addressing more pressing needs on the O-line and D-line that precludes drafting Herbert or whomever else next year, either. OTOH, drafting a QB in 2nd/3rd round would preclude Panthers paying best attention to most essential need now.

Because backup QBs in Carolina never see the field? 

I think the larger issue how to keep our first QB on the field in the first place, or, failing that, how to keep a succession of backup QBs on the field for more than half a game.

I love Grier the competitor and the person

But Grier's arm strength is really bad, there's a reason he doesn't have a rnd 1 grade on him, he might not have enough to play in this league

I just don't see why anyone thinks a back up QB matters RIGHT NOW. 

a day 2 or 3 QB is not coming in ready to play this season, this isn't even a super strong QB class at the top. It's a ''best of this group'' caliber of quarterbacks coming out. 

Murray is going to have to defy all current logic and be as good as Russell Wilson on a team nowhere as good as the Seahawks he went to in Arizona. 

Duayne Haskins only has a year under his belt starting. (projects more like Jameis and EJ Manuel) in my opinion, being at OSU boosted his stats. 

Then you look at Lock, & Jones, people need to chill on the ''we need'' stuff. 

What we ''need'' is to filed the best 22 possible, AND protect Cam if we're even gonna sniff success, no 2nd or 3rd round QB is going to do that, if they had that kind of talent you'd at least hear a bit more about them. 

I don't disagree with trying to upgrade the back up position, but I also don't want to worry about a back up QB when there are more pressing issues at hand. People see the Foles situation in Philly and want to talk about how important a back up QB is, but what the same people fail to talk about is HOW good that team was EVERYWHERE else, and outside the SB how pedestrian Foles was. 

That Eagles roster was STACKED!
