You know, honestly, I am beginning to see a worrisome parallel here. Two teams and two players trying to move along at a time when there's a change of coaching and leadership. And while Cam had been out and injured for almost the entire year, Stafford was reeling from three different injuries in 2020, even though he never missed an entire game.

I'm beginning to feel that maybe there's something bad under the hood when it comes to Mr. Stafford on the used car lot that is the NFL offseason. And a lot like Cam, he could have some injuries that would spell the end of his career there if he can't find someone to take him on.

I'm getting lots of "Buyer Beware" vibes on the whole thing. 

And no, we didn't need Cam's last ride to be here. Seeing how bad off he was in New England, he really should have hung it up and remained better in people's minds. That old line of "there's nothing sadder than a hero who doesn't know when it is time to hang it up" seems to apply.

I love Cam, but this game is hard on players and almost no one gets to ride the train for as long as they want to. Ask Luke.

Stafford is far closer to Carson Palmer when he was traded away from the Raiders than he is Cam Newton.

I don't want the Panthers to trade for Stafford unless the compensation was relatively low.  But make no mistake about it.  Stafford can still play this game.  Palmer played well until he was 38.  Anything can happen, obviously, but Stafford could certainly play until that age.  He'll always have one of the strongest arms in the game.  And he's always been mobile enough to move in the pocket.

LIS.  I don't really desire him in a trade.  But I'd be hype as hell for this offense if we got him.

And Palmer won what again? Carson Palmer is kind of like Dan Fouts or Philip Rivers... so much praise for him and his prowess, just a lack of wins and post season experience. Of course, there's Stafford fitting that mold.

He seems like a great guy and if he ends up here, I'll cheer for him, but I just honestly don't see the major upside and trajectory changing guy in him that others do.

Yes but how much were those the players and how much were those the situations? Sometimes it is difficult to unpack that unless a change of scenery happens. 

I don't think Stafford will end up here but I will be curious to see how successful he is at his next destination. If I had to make a prediction, I would wager that what you end up finding out is that the problem wasn't Stafford any more than it was Calvin Johnson or Barry Sanders. Sometimes great players just end up in shitty organizations.

Megatron was no help? He might be a top 2 or 3 WR of all time.

Does one WR help turn a franchise into a winner? 

Real question: do you think the Lions did a good job building around Stafford? 

[Waldo]

He is a solid Vet with upside, his record or ability doesn't concern me. The cost being discussed is concerning and the fact we would have to commit to him before we got a great look at the QB prospects during the draft process would be a huge negative for me.

[Ivan The Awesome]

 

This alone makes it worth it. Something that if Asswater would have done, this team would be in the positives. I can count at least 4 games that if he led a 4th quarter comeback or had a game winning drive, this team would be 9-7. But yeah Let's keep saying this team is not "one player" away. 

 

I really hate that term because you have to look at it from different perspectives. This team is not one player away from what? Competing? Winning a Super bowl? Being over 500? Be specific because with that one player (Stafford) I believe you can be competitive and over 500. Easily. 

[pantherclaw]

I believe the Panthers will draft a QB regardless of adding a vet QB. 

They want to find the next star to develop, along with someone to lead the team offense immediately.

I didn't realize just how prolific a QB he has been while wasting away in NFL no man's land (Detroit). 

SIGN HIM ASAP!

Stafford had WAY better weapons than Cam. Calvin, Tate, Burleson, Jones, Galloday, Amendola, Ebron, Petigrew, Hockerson.

Lack of weapons has never been an issue for Stafford.

90% of those records have not been done by Panthers qbs in 26 years. I will take that a qb like that for the next 6-7 years. 

Carolina has been a run first team in 95% of their seasons.

You do know he hasn’t had an defense EVER. He shouldn’t have to do it all unless you need him, like his 38 game winning drives which has him 4th right now. We have him last year we would have been close to playoffs in Rhule’s first year. Nobody can say we wouldn’t have won 4-5 of those like 7 one score games with Stafford at qb. If you think that I feel sorry for you. He has been on a terrible team. I don’t care what anyone says I would give up 1st or 2nd for him. This defense will be even better next year.

Does Stafford have 6-7 years? Sounds to me that he struggles with injuries.

 

 

Where do you get this from? He starts 16 games a year. Year in and year out.

I'm not comparing Stafford vs Cam’s weapons. I'm comparing the similarities in the two poorly built franchises. Stafford’s weapons may have been better but they weren't good. They've had one 1K rusher and terrible Ds

Edit: outside of Megatron there isn't a star on your list. And the RB list is a joke. Coaches are bad too
