Apparition Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 He's on the wrong side of 30 and clearly regressing as a QB because he's not much of a threat to make plays with his legs anymore. He's also been injury-prone the last few years, and the team has actually done considerably better without him than with. And he's about to enter the last year of his contract, which means the Panthers would have very little dead money on the books if they do trade him.

Forge Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 I don't think that anyone would. We were talking about it in the GDT. I think its probably time. May not happen in season (may be in everyone's best interest to wait until the off season), but given that the Panthers have no idea how much longer that they can commit to him anyway, potentially have at least a cheap stopgap in place with Kyle Allen (who they can surround with more talent given the money they'd save from Newton), it's probably just time.

RuskieTitan Posted October 13, 2019 Share Posted October 13, 2019 Panthers 0-2 with Cam and 0 TD passes 1 INT, 4-0 without him with 7 TDs 0 INTs. Pretty clear what was holding the Panthers back. It ain't no Superman. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean, we were 11-5 in 2017 and 6-2 in 2018 before he got hurt. So it isn’t like we weren’t good with him. We just lost a bunch of close games at the end of last year because he was hurt. Not that you don’t have a point. We have to explore all options, but I don’t agree with the implication we’re suddenly better without a healthy Cam. We’ve always been good.

We have to explore all options, but I don’t agree with the implication we’re suddenly better without a healthy Cam. We’ve always been good. I'm talking recently. Cam has lost his last 8 starts, with the team averaging 22.1 points scored in those games. Meanwhile Kyle Allen is 4-0 with the team averaging 31.25 points in his starts. Obviously there are other factors at play, but I think it's obvious that injuries have led Cam to a place where he's no longer nearly as effective as he once was, while Allen appears to have at least some kind of future in the NFL.

I don’t think anyone would argue Newton is now a bad QB, or even incapable of making a SB, the question is more about resource allocation. Even if Newton is actually a better all round player, the fact is Allen is playing at a comparable level...but on an UDFA contract. Even if they 10x his salary after trading Cam, that’s a lot of saved money that can go to other areas of need. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just thought it was misleading to say we’ve suddenly gotten a lot better with Allen. We were just as good, if not better, with Cam until he got injured. I think a completely healthy Cam, in theory, is the best option still. But who knows if completely healthy Cam will ever be a thing again Edited October 13, 2019 by iknowcool Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With 1 year left in his contract I don't think many teams would trade for him though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
