TBH its a coaches call if Newton or Anderson starts. Clausen just needs to sit and relax knowing he is not going to be put back into the fire. My choice is Anderson to start the first part of the season for the simple fact we have nothing to lose with him. If he does well then great if he does not then its expected. All the while Newton and Clausen are getting to see how a real NON preseason defense works. I really doubt that will happen though and I think Rivera and Richardson are set on trial by fire, but we will see.

I think that Cam and Jimmy both have the talent to play in this league.

That said Cam certainly isn't ready to play, and Jimmy is in the wrong system for him to be a good QB.

Start Anderson, and let Cam grow into the position. I don't care if that's week 9 or if it's next season. Ruining him is certainly not the answer.

Jimmy will probably have to go to another team to be a decent QB.

Here we go with this start Anderson poo, the guy fuging sucks, the only reason he got a TD that giants game9 is because he was against players, that won't even make their team.

Am I missing something or has any other QB not sucked? Anderson has a leg up because he understands the system and understands the game. No he is not going to win us the DIV but we are NOT going to win the DIV, nor make it to the playoffs this year. Might as well let Newton start when he is ready, not just cause people want to sniff his swag.

This is the thing that gets me. I operate under the assumption that Rivera, Hurney and the rest of the FO know more about the NFL, this offense, and Cam Newton.

Why would they stake their reputations, as well as, the future of the Carolina Panthers on starting Cam game 1, if they did not think he would progress, rather than regress. This is Rivera's first coaching job, why would he want to ruin his franchise QB? Furthermore, most fans understand that Cam was drafted on potential, and could possibly benefit from watching for a couple of games or even for the season?

I just don't understand why it seems so obvious to many of you that Cam should be watching, but that does not even seem like a possibility to the coaches and staff. It can't just be about selling tickets this season because sustained excellence under Cam Newton would be the best decision if based on finances. Also with the rookie wage scale, Cam is not making an absurd amount of money. So why?

I think Anderson gives us the best chance to win but I still dont think it makes much sense... Sure, Cam hasnt looked great but we havent seen him in a week where there is game planning and where he knows he is the starter. Give him a chance to own a game and then lets make some assessments.

I feel like week 1, Cam will get the job done- I think regardless the position is his anyways.

Because I'd prefer see them build the next Steve McNair rather than the next Kerry Collins.

Do they know more about the actual NFL than us? Yes, but technically speaking, so does John Fox.

Even the best are not immune to mistakes. Bobby Beathard was arguably one of the best GMs of all time, but he's only remembered these days as the guy who drafted Ryan Leaf.

No problem with risk. Just prefer we make smart decisions.

Starting Newton before he's ready isn't one of those.

What you think is smart I think is pointless and a waste of time. You do not have the luxury of keeping a QB drafted with the #1 pick on the bench for a year or two. Your assessment is outdated and it used to be how things were done. The NFL has evolved and its time for your thought process to do so as well.

You also don't have the luxury of screwing up a #1 pick and not having it set your team back for years to come.

This year is a rebuilding year anyway.

I could easily say that I want the next best Ryan, or Flacco.

But, you still did not answer their your perception of their rational.

      High look overview...

      By musicman · Posted

      Start with Bryce, this is like his rookie year. The 1st 2 games proved her was wired wrong and it looks like (we hope) he needed a time out to reset and be the player that was drafted. He's still about a year or more away from being a top 15 QB, if the Panther give him another playmaker or 2 (a top WR and a decent TE) and maintain that line. Canales deserves credit as playing that card correctly to motivate (or refocus) his QB for one last shot to decide his and the Panthers immediate future. As a Panther fans we should hope he keeps improving as we invested so much to get him. CJ Stroud will never have a season like he had, even if he stays a top 10 QB. He's got great character so I'm rooting for Bryce to continue on his positive journey. Canales is playing the week to week thing with bryce perfectly. Nothings guaranteed, earn it weekly which builds consistency and consistency is greatness.  Keep the O-line. They've got to extend Brady C, along with Mayes that have a real good 7. Great job Morgan starting with the big guys upfront.  I really hope they draft a DE or OLB in the 1st round. Getting Brown back with A Robinson and what DJ has shown that we can have a decent D-line. Need a CB in the early rounds/ or a time FA to go with Horn.  The future as to next year being good enough to challenge for the division is within reach. Just show progress (win or lose) every week. Kudos to Dan Morgan. Plays GM like a LB. Tackle the problem and move on, don't just hope it works out. Find guys with your playing mentality and work closely with your HC to share a vision. Teamwork starts at the top and flows down.

      Canes vs Panthers(Back to Back Games Thread)

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      Since we play the Panthers today and tmrw, we will have one gigantic double thread for both games. Today’s game is at 3pm and tmrw is 7pm.    After beating the Rangers and sending the those yankee bastards back to Cary, we get the Champs in the house.  Clean up the defense, no more lazy clears, and score baby score.  LFG CANES!
