Andy Dalton is a Panther

Nobody liked Derek Anderson either. Turned out to be good for Cam.

I'm glad this was a priority when we have literally no weapons to speak of in the WR, RB or TE room.  But hey Andy Dalton is going to be a great mentor..

 

This is a horrendous signing at this stage of FA..

If you weren’t aware there is still FA and the draft. Why are you acting like signing Dalton means we’re done at WR, RB, and TE?

I’d rather have kept Sam. Sam at least has a good arm.

I like it. He knows the Saints offense. He will be a good mentor.

Personally wanted to spend his 8 million on a WR&TE combo......I understand backup is super important, rookie QB and all.......just wanted to go the cheaper route, red rifle memes dont cure that...

Bro, what WR & TE combo do you think you're getting for $4m? (He has $8m guaranteed over 2 years so that's $4m per) 

This signing does not preclude the Panthers from picking up a vet WR or TE and the bridge QB signing is vitally important. If you haven't heard, the only two WRs that have signed so far are Allen Lazard and Jakobi Meyers. I don't think any TEs except the Saints guy signed? And we're most likely taking a WR or TE at 39. 

Patience.

Love it. 

$10M for two years....his knowledge will be outstanding for our rookie and can settle back into the background once they are ready to start.

Also helps bringing knowledge from his former NFCS Team.

(" $10M for two years.") I am surprised the Panthers got such a god quality, back up QB at that reasonable of a price.

Andy Dalton and Bryce Young go way back.  Found this photo:

I think this just signaled Stroud or Young.

Agreed. 

This signing makes it LESS likely that the Panthers draft anyone other than Young or Stroud.

Dalton is a backup NOT a bridge.

A pocket passer to mentor the rookie pocket passer. Stroud is gonna thrive here once they get WR/TE figured out.

From Mike Kaye, Charlotte Observer

A Dalton 

Age: 35

Experience: 12 seasons

Production: 83-77-2 record as starter — 38,150 passing yards, 244 touchdowns and 144 interceptions

Following a strong career as a starter in Cincinnati, Dalton has been a nomad spot-starter for the past three years. From Dallas to Chicago to New Orleans, Dalton has started as a backup before inevitably making his way into the starting lineup. Dalton understands his place in the league, but is still highly competitive and capable. He could be an excellent option for a rookie quarterback to learn from.

Perfect mentor for Bryce, lets go.

[Jay Roosevelt]

I'm good with this. We needed a veteran backup.
