Robby vouching for Cam next season.

He's right.  Too bad this organization has Matt Rhule making decisions for it.

Hasn't Robby also vouched for Rhule, though?

Screw it. Was going to post about how bad of a teammate and player Robby is. Not worth it.

He's been little help to his QBs since week 5 of last year.

Meh, Robby can drop passes from any QB, why does he want to drop only Cam passes?

Sam Darnold may no longer be the guy for the job for the Panthers, but the team did exercise his fifth-year option for 2022. With this being the case, he at least deserves a longer look once he can return from his injury. Ideally, the Panthers could just cut ties. But they made the decision to commit and must live with it now.

 

Cam Newton is not the same player and his is the toughest reason of all for Panthers fans to accept. Newton is just not the same player he was back when he was MVP and took the team to the Super Bowl.

 

He was beaten out by Mac Jones in New England and there is a reason the Panthers moved on in the first place. It is easy to think resigning Newton would ensure he turns the team around like he has done in the past.  However, he only threw for eight touchdowns in 15 games last season.

 

Add in the reality of showing up next year on a team facing so much needed to rebuild, he is just not the elite guy for the job.

These are hard truths, but truths just the same. Cam isn't the Cam he once was, but no one can be that guy, he was a once in a generation player. Honestly, Cam's veteran back-up capabilities now and perhaps some goal line work. 

Darnold is under contract for next year and no one is going to trade for him after this past season. Maybe with a different coach, a decent o-line and some smart play calling he can be serviceable. I don't see much to say he's got what it takes to be "the guy" but there's a case to be made that Sam, Cam and a drafted QB could be the way to go. You've got a veteran, a plummeted prodigy and a student -- heck, that's half of a good kung fu movie right there.

PJ, sorry man.

that's great to hear. cam is a tremendous leader and it's absolutely a factor in the decision.

there are better quarterbacks but none of them are available to us. beef up the line, bring in a bona fide derek anderson type backup, and see if cam's got the juice for a run. 

[stirs]

Until the Oline is solidified, the QB talks are a bit of cart before the horse.  Hard to judge any QB who is constantly dodging the bullets we see our QB's dodging

All I want for Christmas is QB with a quick release.

Cam might potentially backload a contract with a different HC

Backloading would require a multi-year contract.

We should not be giving him a multi-year contract.

I’d like to see what he could do with a full offseason with the playbook and time for the team to strengthen the line.

So does sam, he’s already paid, and it leaves more cap for others and reasonably provides a slightly higher draft pick.

Okay. The way I read your post, I thought you were saying we should draft a rookie QB, and I'm of the opinion that going with a vet, be it Sam or Cam, and drafting OL would be better.

I’d give cam a 2-3 year IF we get a new coach and that coach wants to work with cam. With an out after 2 years. If it’s a reasonable contract.

Robby saying all this means Rhule has lost the locker room

Robby trying to protect himself at this point. Rhule is toast.
