With Cam Newton going on injured reserve and now missing the rest of this season, many of us as Carolina Panthers fans are wondering if the time has come for the team to move on and find a new franchise quarterback. The combination of Cam’s age, health, and contract status requires us to at least think about the possibility. After all, the team could trade him or cut him next season (the final year of his current deal) and free up $19.1 million in cap space.
Once Cam’s gone the Panthers could just ride Kyle Allen or use their first round pick in 2020 to land their next franchise quarterback.
