Tepper and Rhule saying good things about Cam = attempting to keep his market value high for a trade.  Them saying anything to the contrary would drive his value down below what they should be able to get for him  

 

Cam saying great things about the panthers and his excitement = keeping his image in Charlotte in good standing when the news inevitably breaks that he’s been traded.  Honestly, Cam would be insane to play our the last year of his contract due to what he’s done for this team without any commitment to his future. He knows this but isn’t going to show his cards in public. 
 

Fact of the matter is he’s as good as gone but neither he nor the team wants to come off with an image issue after this plays out. It’s smart on both sides and why publicly everything looks on the up and up. 
 

with all this said, this is just one panther fans opinion. I hope I’m wrong and he’s a panther next year, but I’d be stunned. 

It’d also be insane for the Panthers to pay Newton at this point. If another team is willing to do that, time to let him go. Last thing the Panthers need right now is to be strapped to Cam not knowing if he can even play anymore.

The only way you trade Cam is if you get enough in return to trade up to get Joe Burrow. Nothing / no one else would be worth it

As a fan it’s easy to focus on short term. Just because Cam is traded doesn’t mean the Panthers have to find a replacement/franchise QB this year. Building a supporting cast with a tank/stop gap QB this year and getting one next year isn’t that bad of a plan given Cam doesn’t want to play his last year out here. And if he’s traded that’s going to be the main reason why.

If they go full on tank mode and win like 2-3 games next year, Ruhle won’t make it three years here.

I agree. I understand rebuilding but to go full tank mode for no real reason other than to try and secure a top pick in the 2021 draft before the 2020 draft even happens is just asinine thinking. Which, if we get rid of a healthy Cam, is exactly what we'd be doing. A healthy Cam in this offense with an upgraded oline and a young innovative mind like Joe Brady can DEFINITELY win some games and make this team exciting to watch next year. Will we be superbowl bound? Highly unlikely but if we "rebuild" around what we already have then we will be in a much better spot 2-3 years from now rather than trying to sell out for the fuging 2021 draft.

It would have to be a great deal, in other words, have to come out of the trade clearly winning the deal.  Trading Cam for the sake of a rebuild is pretty stupid.  I think the realistic target for playoff contention is year three.  Therefore, if the Chargers send us a package over two years that can help us fill the numerous holes we have via extra draft picks...particularly day two selections, then it would be worth it.

if they if they are going to move him, they’d be wise to wait until after the draft or during day two. Find a team that didn’t get their guy in day one. 
 

ironically, that could be the chargers if some crazy stuff happens in front of the sixth pick. 

If we do trade him it will be sometime next month. We have to get his $19 million off the books so we can re-sign some of our guys and possibly purse a bridge QB like Teddy Bridgewater.

I get your point but does it make sense to rebuild a team around a QB on the downside of his career? Cam has had a lot of injuries and has a ton of mileage on his body. Rhule will be towards the end of his contract by the time Cam retires (if he makes it to 35-36). From Rhule’s perspective, I get why he would want to take a chance (and any QB is a big gamble) to bring in a young new guy now or next year. Honestly, I have the feeling this is more Teppers plan than Rhules, but we’ll see what happens.
