Plenty of teams interested in Newton trade...

It's suggesting that you'd alter the truth to try to win favor with the Panthers.

Basically, a swipe at your integrity, likely at least partially due to the fact that you've said good things about Kyle Allen in the past.

Good deal.

was it a swipe at cam's integrity when you relentlessly defended nolan nawrocki's careful analysis of his smile?

you try to act like a neutral participant when you've been on the wrong side of history since cam was drafted. no wonder you're here today arguing that the coaches are actually doing more with allen despite all available evidence to the contrary. you're a joke and anyone who comes to your aid should face scrutiny imo

Keep trying, dude.

I've said this before, but the person whose long-term future is most impacted by Allen's play is Grier.  Grier was drafted to be the quality backup that could be a fill-in starter, and possibly could develop into a long-term starter if needed.  Allen was an unknown when Grier was drafted, and his successfully checked the first two of those three boxes.  It is possible Allen will be viewed as equally likely to tick the third box as Grier, which would make him expendable.

FWIW, I think the second person whose long-term future in Carolina has been most impacted is Allen, himself.  His trade value has probably gone from nonexistent to something if the Panthers ultimately decide to play the NE Patriots with their backup and peddle him for whatever some team desperate for a QB will offer.

And I know a source inside the Panthers building who insists they plan to actively shop Cam.  Of course, that source was in there at 1:30 in the morning, with a mop, and had consumed his daily quota of Wild Turkey by that time, but never the less, he is a source inside the building.

I see that phrase a lot anymore. It seems to have become the chosen metaphor for speaking to someone with the team.

As to Grier, not likely he's going anywhere for at least the next three years. A few people have wondered what would happen if Allen got hurt and Grier came in and played lights out.

(granted, that's the kind of thing that's more fun to watch when it happens to somebody else) :)

Are we seriously discussing trading Cam at the moment?  This is pretty ridiculous at this point.  Now if Cam comes back and looks like garbage and gets injured again, then this topic is fair game.  

It's been speculated, but I haven't seen a single reporter who takes the speculation seriously. Even the guy who posted it gave it only a 5% chance of happening.

Now, move the time frame to next year and you'll find some people actually willing to consider the possibility (Geoff Schwartz, for example).

Because why wouldnt they be... former MVP. Only decline in skill we have that is 100% evident is injury. I dont like or care for a large contingent of our fanbase fells about Newton. If he was just done I dont think so many other franchises would value you him so high. Stay pat until your sure what you have or dont have. 

Not sure I have ever seen a franchise so ready to jettison the be quarterback they have had in franchise history. It is plausible that Jake gets more love and respect than Newton dispite their accomplishments.  I wonder why that is..

I wouldn't say that the franchise is so ready to get rid of Cam more so than finicky fans and media just trying to increase their ratings.

It’s funny, on Get Up this morning Schefter was making it clear the Bengals aren’t going to trade Green, but when it got to Cam, he kept saying “we can’t rule anything out” even though someone said he’s not getting traded or the chance is slim to none. Schefter refuses to say no, but was adamant Green wouldn’t get traded. It’s all about clicks and views. Our reporters are not taking it seriously, and that’s what matters IMO.

Other teams are hoping we make a idiotic mistake and throw all our eggs in the Kyle Allen basket, no knock on Kyle but it would be premature.

nfl teams recognize what a healthy cam Newton is capable of, I hope the fo continues to do the logical thing in this situation 

I'm a Carolina Panther fan. 

First, I would love to Cam make a full return. He's a great talent that has yet to see his ceiling as far as what he is capable of. I'd love to see that. 

If the Panthers chose to move on, it wouldn't be a mistake. It's called moving on. Franchises do it all the time. There is a reason why teams should groom qbs, as you never know when you'll need them to step up. 

The evidence is there, that this team is capable of.moving on from Cam, if that is what has to be done.  They won't make that decision prematurely.

    • I mean it's not even like this was his worst game of the season... I'm not done with him by any means but this feels more the norm for him than the exception:/
    • I'd give it a C mainly because of Brooks.  If we just didn't have a 2nd I'd argue B to B+ tbh. Brooks was a bad gamble, tho one that could still pay off long term. Yes XL only has 400 yards but... Look who is throwing him the ball. And I think he isn't a "true #1" but he's been able to consistently get open. Hands definitely need to be cleaned up.  But he should end the year with 500-600 yards. Like you said - Sanders looks great.  Get him a better QB / more time with a QB and I think he's gonna impress. We added a couple rotational players on D that have both made plays and show promise for the future from later rounds. So I'd say, Brooks really hurts this drafts grade. It'll be interesting to see how it progresses over the next 3 years. I've overall really liked Morgan's FA acquisitions, so...
    • Oh he would absolutely flourish. It’s the panthers way. It’s no different with coaches. Sometimes they reach their expiration date, go somewhere else, and find new success.  Similarly to Burns, how long to wait for the light to finally turn on?  Market forces will demand a salary that the panthers can not responsibly match. Sliding him to guard will fit his skill set better, but he has played LT for 3 years. He will receive offers from other teams wanting to pay him LT money.  At guard, he won’t start with what they have paid Hunt and Lewis. Center then?? Dunno. Maybe? He will become a backup by default once they draft their stud LT. I doubt Dan just stands pat. That’s not his MO.  So where does this put him? Can you match what other teams will offer for a backup LT/guard? Do you dish out franchise LT $ on a guy who still needs significant improvement in pass protection. This team will be DOA in the playoffs with the very first team who has a formidable speed rusher. What if he has hit his ceiling in pass protection already and they sign him long term? It’s a big gamble either way.
