Graham Gano has surgery. Will he be a Panther next year?

Talked to an old Panthers employee who said Marty used to brag about having the highest paid player at one position or another. He thought that was something to be proud of.

That makes me cringe.

He was probably just excited and wired from the line of coke he did before talking about those contracts.

I'm told the leg will prevent him from kicking in the NFL again.  Obviously he's going to give it a go.

At this point Slye's capture rate is an abysmal 78.2%, he's not the answer either.

Where did you hear this? I think we move on obviously but it still sucks you have 3 million in dead money no matter what. We have a ton of dead money and holes as it is, and it just continues to grow with moves like that. The only hope we have it that we can trade him if he does heal. As I stated before we were dumb enough to trade a 4th round pick for a punter a few years back so who knows maybe we get lucky and get at 5th/6th for him.

One of those friend of a friend things but my friend did play professional sports and his friend is in the industry on the PT side.  The word was his plant knee is shot --- the post-op pics sure look like something more than a run-of-the-mill scope job.

Obviously 2nd hand info so take it as such.

Wonder when that operation actually took place?

The I/R announcement was made on August 30th....84 days before we found out about the surgery.  It does look like the knee has healed some since it was cut on but is this another case of the player trying to limp along (pun intended!) and "rehab" the joint only to ultimately have to have the surgery --- and lose months of recovery time?

Speaking of surgery --- it's been over 3 weeks now since Cam visited Dr. Anderson and was told he (the Doc) did not recommend surgery on the foot...

...yet we continue to hear rumors of a surgery coming down the pipe.  Seems like if they are gonna do it may as well get on with it.

Conclusion:  As it goes to Gano, if he is able to kick again I predict the Panthers will retain him.

I hope it is. It's time and that means new coaching staff.

I definitely want a coaching staff and FO change but a complete rebuild is going to be pretty painful. I am not sure I want to see that.

I am not sure being terrible for a few years is something I am going to have the patience for.

It's going to happen sometime so why not start now. I'm not patient either but if it makes us a contender every year down the road, I'm for it

Yeah but good franchises don't go through long rebuilding periods where they are terrible. Bad and poorly run franchises do.

Oh I think it's going to be a bloodbath if we don't bring back Cam. That may seem like an odd statement to make but if we opt to roll with Allen, Grier or a drafted QB.....it will be full rebuild mode. 

It may be the toughest offseason Panthers fans have seen in a long time.

Dude we are already there. Cam isn't going to change much next year. We don't even know if his shoulder will hold up a full season. Our team right now is a complete cluster fug. We might see players like Bradberry walk because of the situation unless he's paid a ungodly amount and we really need to cut players like Turner, Gano, and KK who are dragging our cap down. Might I add all were extended by hurndog. Next year will be a nightmare no matter who starts where tbh.

What do you consider us? We have never had back to back winning seasons. Ever under Jerry Richardson, if we going to start Tepper is going to have to do something. It needs to start this year imo

There's one way to find out!

I believe Tepper will sit Cam down and explain to him man-to-man the true ramifications of coming back and making a bet on himself. 

If Cam plays in the NFL next season it will be in a Carolina Panthers uniform.

Yeah, I would not return to us next year if I were him, honestly.

    • Did I mention that he was on worse teams?  Yes.  Do QBs alone win games?  No.  Did Cam, on a much better team with some awesome defenses ever have 2 consecutive winning seasons?  No.  So now you are cherry picking,  If the overall stats are similar, you take a look at him.   I told you that you look at his skill set---but you wanted to tell me that he sucks and mentioned performance.  I just presented performance--and his numbers are very similar to Cam Newton's numbers--a player most call the best Panther QB ever--and I agree.  By the way, Fumbles are evidence of how bad his OL has been--so you are saying that a QB in a situation worse than Cam's who has stats and physical abilities very similar to Cam's should not be given a look when you have Bryce Young at QB?  You are going with that story because you simply talked your way into a corner and now you are trying to save face.  No good GM would do what you suggest because "he sucks."  Sorry, but the facts do not support you.  But no matter what eye-opening details I provide, there are some who are going to go their Google machines to try to find some reason to support an ignorant approach to developing the QB position.  You ignored the similarities to Cam and went cherry picking.  I know what you are doing--but I am only suggesting (as I have stated before) that we bring him in as one of three approaches to resolving the QB issue. Compete with Bryce and draft a QB. Basically, I am suggesting that Jones has the potential to replace Dalton and compete with Young.  He is a battered stock that could get better in a better situation--that is human nature.  Instead, I am called a Daniel Jones lover and superfan.  That is good debate--But a real sign of mature thinking is the inability to LOGICALLY consider alternative perspectives--which is actually a characteristic of intelligence.  Just so you know, I critique and perform research in my job.  I am often amazed at how the numbers do not support my suppositions.  I learned that my impression is often wrong until I look at the data.  In this case, I have considered all the important variables and he should get a shot.  Numbers don't lie--and when you and others resort to twisted name calling directed toward the poster--it verifies my position.  
    • I don’t get this, I know that is the popular thought process but I just don’t think it’s true.  For instance head to head last year the ACC had a winning record against the SEC.  The SEC had a losing record in bowl games. This year so far the head to head is 2-3 SEC and that’s with a fluke Vandy win in week one.  I see the ACC taking another head to head winning season after next week.  The SEC is mostly hype with 3 good teams, in my opinion.  But to say any ACC team would get exposed I believe is a stretch 
    • What the hell?  How is presenting Cam's stats hating him?  The point is not to hate Cam, it is to show you how similar Jones is to him and why you take a look at him.  I mentioned Jones has the skill set to take a look--the response is, "look at his 5 years of performance."  So I compare him to the greatest QB in franchise history, and the stats are similar--while Jones was in a worse situation.  Now that is "hating?"  Come on.  This is a meritless, ignorant, personal attack because you are wrong.  Just stop it.  You all attack the poster when you have nothing.  So saying "we should consider a guy with similar stats and size to Cam Newton" is now hating Cam and making me a Jones super fan- that is just stupid.
