If we trade Cam, does that mean we are going after "our guy" in the draft?

Just genuinely curious, because that seems like the only plausible option. If we do trade Cam, and then decide to pull in a guy in FA this fan base may lose their poo. I know I will.

And to add to that we must be thinking of Cam as another means of getting our guy via trading for draft picks. In which case may not be a bad idea if we are talking long term.  And this is assuming logic LOL. If we trade Cam we better get enough out of him to complete the objective.

Also, could we potentially Keep Cam and still be able to negotiate to draft our QB? I don't think so, if we are gunning for burrow.  If we go after a guy Like Tua, or someone that could slip to us then I think we should keep Cam. Let that competition play out, Cam starts rookie learns until Cam proves one way or the other he's the guy.  Potential new Face of the Franchise on a rookie deal, plus our Former MVP andFan favorite Cam Newton playing on a very reasonable contract. Alot if teams have done it this way with a lot success.

Chiefs-Patrick Mahomes after Alex Smith

Packers- Aaron Rodgers and Brett Favre

New England-Brady and Multiple capable starters but always stick with Brady(except for this year FINALLY)

Titans- Mariotta and Tannehil.

Baltimore- Joe Flacco and Lamar Jackson( and Joe's contract was not reasonable)

Look, to be quite honest I am all for Going after Burrow if that can happen. Why wouldn't you, he would come in off a championship game with LSU, into a starting roll built and tailored around him with a familiar face at OC.  Maybe we could trade Cam and our First Rounder for it who knows. But is that what will happen? I don't think so, Cincy needs more help at QB than us. And I believe that Hometown tie maybe what makes that happen.

And if we can't get Burrow, I don't think Trading Cam and going after the next guy available at QB is a good idea. I see Tua being the only other guy with Hope, but that is all riding on his recovery from hip injury. 

I apologize for being so wordy. I like to type my thoughts. And this helps me cope with recent panthers events. So, for that I'm not sorry.

 

What say you Huddle?

Who would it be? Tua will be gone to Miami and Herbert could go to LA, only way we get them is to move up by dealing picks. To me, you want to have more picks when rebuilding not less.

I honestly don't think they move up for a QB.  If one is there I'm sure there will be some discussion going on in the war room.  If it's not Cam next year it will be Grier or Allen at the helm and they will look for a QB in the draft next year.

I also would not be shocked if they picked up another late round QB either.

Lineman or QB, I get the sense it will be a QB just because of the new regime ect.

As much as I want to see Cam stay and watch him in the Joe Brady offense I think were really need to consider acquiring as many assets and draft capital as we can for either this upcoming 2020 draft with so many glaring holes and needs and then tank for Trevor Lawrence during 2020 season or for 2021 draft so if we need to trade up to get Trevor Lawrence we can!

Who the hell is going to trade out for a quarterback pick?

unless someone thinks Miami is going to take Cam and we take Tua?

then Miami laughs all the way when Cam has 50 touchdowns next year and Tua is in Traction.

Or it could be like this season where Lamar Jackson is probably winning MVP for the Ravens and we all watched Joe Flacco get benched for a rookie QB in Denver.

      Would you trade Ickey

      By Gapanthersfan · Posted

      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.

      We're in a great position to see just how big of a misstep it would be, having made so many ourselves

      BREAKING: Panthers Announce Four Moves Including LB Trevin Wallace To IR

      I didn't say I would have done it. I was just saying that I can see why some in the FO considered it. Everything was done to give Bryce weapons. Solidify the interior line thru FA. Get XL at WR in round 1 and then get the most talented RB in round 2. Take a TE in round 4, etc They were probably "assuming" he'd make a complete recovery during the 2024 season. I'm a skeptical person. I wouldn't have assumed he'd be ok in 2024. I personally would have taken another position in the 2nd for that very reason. But, if I were "influenced" to take him I would've argued to keep him off the field, especially seeing how things were going for us record wise. Conventional Wisdom says most backs don't get back to normal until two years after the ACL surgery. He was injured in Fall 2023. Having him suit up in 2025 would have been almost 2 years since the original injury. You have him for 3 year on low contract. If he balls out, you resign him for a couple of more years b/c he'd only have 3 years of tread on the tires. If he's ok but not great you let him walk.
