Nick Wright: If Panthers move on from Cam, they’ll be drafting a QB in first round of 2021 draft

[NAS]

Nick Wright is, in my opinion, one of the best NFL pundits out there.  This morning he was saying that it would be a mistake for the Panthers to trade Cam Newton when he has at least 5 years left in the tank when healthy. His shoulder and foot injuries are not career ending and top QBs don’t grow on trees.  He also doesn’t think Allen is the long term answer for the franchise. 

This assumes that Cam wants to stay, which he may not, but if he does, we should retain him in a prove it year and bite the bullet on $19 million.  Well worth the risk for the best QB we have ever had.

Well damn, Trevor Lawrence it is then.

He's right. KA doesn't look like the future. It's hard to get a franchise QB. There's more to a QB than just wins and losses. It's important to note KA is in the 20s in all his other stats. He's right that 21 million is low or a QB in this league. He's right about Jacksonville being in a mess after gambling on Bortles.

Don't give a fug which QB is sitting back there so long as our O-line is getting bulldogged.  Spend the money/draft on better O-linemen then worry about the other BS.

Tepper won't get rid of a Cam Newton that can be healthy again. 

Unfortunately, from what I understand they don't believe he can be healthy for any significant amount of time.

I agree with all of this. 

I do think people that are penciling in Trevor Lawrence to us though are getting WAY ahead of themselves. There are a lot of pieces that are bad on this team, but I don't see us losing enough games to get the #1 pick in 2021 in any kind of scenario. I think Justin Fields would be way more likely and I like him more anyway (sorry Clemson fans).

bro stop cappin you don't know anything lmao

I think Cam can be healthy again. I hope Cam can be healthy again. I definitely don't want to see a healthy Cam Newton as a star elsewhere because I will have very, very, very, very, very hard feelings towards ownership about that.

[ENCPantherfan2]

I agree, but that should not be the deciding factor from moving on from Cam. I kinda knew going in if this is gonna happen then it's a good probability we would draft a QB high in 2021.

drafting a rookie qb is like starting over....for every Mahomes its like 10 Tribuskys

Gonna need the #1 overall pick

Which means....there ain’t no point talking about him. 

[LinvilleGorge]

I hope Cam can be healthy again. I have no idea what to think about it though.

Unless we're VERY sure he can't get and stay healthy again though, I honestly think keeping him is next season is far less of a risk than moving on.

Trevor is a monster.  Wait until playoff time when he isn’t bored.

it echoes what Jordan Rodrigue has been saying. Ron and Hurney are huge Cam cheerleaders who want him to stay, but Tepper isn't sold on if he will ever be healthy.
