Any backup vet QB is going to cost around what Dalton got if not more. All NFL teams have to pay “starting safety” money for a backup unless you roll the dice on an unproven rookie. If we didn’t give Dalton “starting safety money” we would’ve given it to someone else. It’s just the reality of the position 

 

Make him the asst BFF QB coach and pay the 4million to hold BYs hand, theres no cap space there. Panthers have less than 1% chance at playoffs, draft a QB in the mid rounds and use that cash for starters.

I liked Derek Anderson a lot but he was a pal nothing more. Cam Newton in his early years was rookie of the year and built like a tank. People might have had questions about Cam's accuracy but that was it. Nothing at all comparable to the still unanswered questions about Bryce. Not to mention Anderson never had to play any extended time nor did he look horrendously awful in the process.

At the end of the day the people justifying this are the same people who were in here shouting down concern about preseason last year. Carrying water for the decision makers of the sports franchise with the worst win percentage in professional sports is just coping.

I think everyone on this board knew that they weren’t gonna bring legit competition for Bryce’s job next year. They’re all in on him including his backup QB mentor.

I’m gonna save my hand-wringing for the draft. Because you know some stupid poo is gonna go down

So you’d like to waste a mid round draft pick on a QB when we have a million other holes to fill? Heck, we could use one of those mid round picks you’d like to use on a QB on an impactful RB instead. It’s a very deep RB class.  Also, have you heard of Will Grier and Matt Corral? They sure panned out. Panthers historically can’t draft QB’s past the first round worth a damn. I’m glad you’re not the GM

I would sign Cam as a buck-up and then cut him.  He needs a good humbling.

 You wish I was the GM, 100% Id have the team in much better position than the last 6 years. 

Dave is known for coaching up WRs and QBs, but didn't have a say in BY. Allow the guy and his hand picked staff to try and find a QB, their QB. The cap hit would be around 900,000, bargain compared to the rusty red rifle.

Like I said when this news broke, if DC is a qb whisperer then why the hell are we not leaning into that and getting a guy he can develop for when Young inevitably gets (Most qbs miss games) or simply for trade value

IMO it's best to have a vet on the team, having three young inexperienced QBs on the roster is a recipe for disaster

If Bryce has a good season, that's when you draft a guy in the 3rd or 4th to be his backup.
