It needs to be asked

three bad games into the season and we're discussing drafting a new quarterback with next year's pick.

this site has become an absolute joke.

So I have been pondering this question all week. Let's say Cam keeps regressing and the panthers drop the spread option and no improvement. We get the #1 pick this offseason do we take Geno smith or not. Cam will be entering his 3rd year of a 4 year contract next season. Do you take the risk they he will get better next year with no backup plan? Or do you take geno and let him learn a year and to see if cam improves?

Cant tell if serious

Cam is our best offensive player. He can't help it that the team around him sucks. And because they suck, it looks like he sucks and he takes all the heat for it. Get as many high draft picks as possible, draft the right players, and build a better team around him. Then get a real NFL offensive coordinator that knows what the hell he is doing and can get the most out of Cam. Simple as that.

It does not need to be asked! But, this is the Huddle, so it was asked.

I have not problem with fans whining and fapping about how bad we are playing. Hell, I am frustrated as well. However, asking whether drafing a QB with our first pick will make Cam better is just plain goofy. The wife knows absolutely nothing about football and even she would not ask such an inane question.

There are only two reasons to ask such a silly question. WVU homer. Or just needing some attention. One is bad, the other is worse.

We have way to many holes to waste the first pick on a ACC QB.

If you want to fap away, fine. But at least be realistic. Too many fans wanting to jump ship because the Panthers are not winning enough to sate their fandom. Selfishness is at an all-time high. Too bad. Plenty of seats left in the reality section of Panther Nation.

Did anyone see how Cousins almost saved the Skins last week? I am an MSU homer, but even I didn't crow about my QB needing to come here to push Cam. Gimps are too funny.

The main reason I asked was two fold. Main one is Cam's contract is for four years. If you read the question I ask if cam sucks the rest of the year. Thinking being you still give cam next year to prove himself. But if he doesn't then you have a quality rookie in place.

2nd was I did want to get a feeling on what people thought of Geno. But that never happened.

i dont think we can commit to another first round pick for a QB even if Cam continues his struggles this year. I think most like Geno but he has some more football left to prove he belongs as a top 5 pick.

Drafting a QB would be a waste. If I really felt Cam was struggling to grow, I would trade him before next year. You can't let Cam struggle for three years (edit: Actually he didn't struggle his rookie year, but you get my point. Three years in and your best year is your rookie year for a QB? That is a problem for most teams looking at a QB), and expect someone to give you something for him. (Of course with trading him, I would take a QB in the draft, but probably not Geno, because he's going in the top five picks. I intend to trade our pick, especially if we are picking in the top five)

With all that said, Cam has major potential. We seen how he played last year, he just needs someone who believes he can be a full QB, not just a freak of nature. So as GM, I would get rid of Rivera, and hire another coach, an offensive genius to nuture Cam.

[Doughboy88]

Lol wut? So you would draft a dt cb de at #1 overall pick instead of trading the pick down?

I would not draft a QB after we found our franchise QB. That is just asking to go backwards. Now I feel like I wasted 10 seconds of my life. Why do I feed people like you..

This is what most fans think it takes to be a proper fan. Unfortunately.

Sure you can fap and whine like there is no tomorrow. Comes with the territory. It is the ones that want to chuck it all in. Give away their tickets, sell or give away their possessions. Or even quit watching. Those are the fans we do not need.

Its as if the Panthers owe them something. Because they invest their time, money, and emotions they deserve to have a winning team. These people probably whine when anything in their life goes awry. Childish is what it is.

Be a man. Suck it up. We are not winning. So fugin what. Nobody wins em all. And most teams have bad times. I hate those fans that feel they are being slighted just because we are struggling.

Hell, I've been a Lions fan for over half a century. In all that time we have won zero playoff games. Sure it hurts. But I am not going to quit being a fan.

The Panthers have been in existence for 17+ years. I guess that is enough time for fans to give up. Losers give up. True fans stick to the team. Fapping all the way for sure. But still hoping for that magical season to come along.

tl,dr version. If you are willing to abandon the Panthers, you are not a fan. You are just a paying customer.

Uh, no. Spread Option is not meant for Cam. Can't blame him entirely for not playing up to expectations. Spread Option gives the QB a hard time to get into rythm.

...Sure you can fap...

I stopped reading there. Sign me up.

Spread option isn't meant for the nfl. It is a quick read offense 1 sec of indesivence sp? And the play is screwed. Ifully expect it gone as thebase offense after the bye week.

That is a question I often ask myself. Why do folks feel the need to feed the trolls?

Geno? Really? I guess with all the kids coming in and playing well even an ACC QB can do it. Nah.

Cam has more potential than any young QB in the league. It is up to the coaching staff to bring that potential to fruition. That is the problem. Not Cam.

But hell, let's waste a first round pick on another QB. That is what the good teams do. Right?
