It's possible Cam's last game for us will end up being the Tampa Bay game where he looked awful and was booed off the field

[Sam Mills Fan]

Really hope that isn't how he goes out. I feel like a jerk for booing too :(

[PantherExpress]

I’d like to think that we give him another shot next season to make sure we know if it’s time to move on or not. That could be just a fool’s hope though....

Eh it's the Not For Long league for a reason.  Jerry Richardson isn't in charge anymore; we're not running a family business.

 

A lot of users here had their head in the sand once he got injured AGAIN, in a pre-season game.  But I think the shot-fighter reality cannot be denied any longer even by the little man gang.

 

You can win in this league with game manager level QB play and a stout defense.  That's how three out of the last five SBs were won; four out of the last seven.  Panthers are well suited for the future with their franchise philosophy.

[CBDellinger]

If I was a betting man I'd bet on Cam playing here in 2020.  His contract is darn near the league average for QBs.  Let him heal and see what he has or doesnt have.  Panthers have all the leverage.

I can understand the reasons for wanting to cut Cam at the end of the season. But honestly it would be pretty stupid to cut a franchise QB without a replacement because he was injured. 

Injuries do heal. It's not a matter of if, it's a matter of when. Move forward with the surgery now and you have all offseason to evaluate him. His trade value isn't gonna change between now and opening day 2020 - unless he shows he's healthy, then it'll skyrocket. If they want to move on, that seems to make the most sense right now. 

[CBDellinger]

They saw the guy all damn training camp, they know what he's got when his foot aint broke.  They arent gonna look at 2 games and say "welp, forget all that other stuff!"  Tepper was there for all of it... practices too.  He' got his finger on the pulse.

Stuff like this is why I hope he goes somewhere else and wins a SB. No support from fans when they KNOW he was hurt to start the season. He's been the ENTIRE offense for a long time. Again how fast we forget. Dude put on a good showing until he got injured against the Steelers but hey, we forget real quick don't we? He can't be a pocket passer but put up damn good passing numbers under Chudzinski, yet we go to dinking and dunking. Every other team can find WRs that get open or put in effort on routes but we seem to be the only team that just can't get the WR position right. It's amazing how the Steelers, whom almost always have a 25 or below pick, finds WRs that work. That's just one example I'm using in this instance to show the ineptitude that is our college scouting team. Why is it this coaching staff can't get a play in on time or adjust the gameplan accordingly like others in the league? I could keep going but jeez let that man live. He deserves a chance to heal because regardless of his "accuracy issues" the guy is the best QB this franchise has seen and probably will see for a long time. How about we get an O-line that works or a LT that is actually serviceable? A RG that doesn't cause penalties at very bad times (Yes, Trai Turner has taken several steps backwards). There are a ton of issues with the offense. QB1 ain't one of them.

All you have to do is look at other teams fansites. There's quite a few teams hoping Carolina cuts ties with Cam this off-season so they can sign him.

This ^ is the best approach.

If you booed shame on you. Have some damn class.

The fact that many teams were inquiring about Cam is quite telling. He just needs an innovative Offensive Coordinator like some of these young up and comers. Norv is pretty much the originator of Shula's offense. It's not anything new at all. We just have the right running back to implement it properly. Same product, different flavor.

[CBDellinger]

Dont forget the CBA ends after 2020.  Free agency is going to be a little trickier than in years past.  Having a QB on the roster thats affordable, has potential and has an expiring contract might be good?  

[TheRed]

It really takes a special kind of shithead to boo a clearly injured athlete yet turn around and expect/demand success like it's owed to them.
