SuperMan 141 Report post Posted March 12, 2013 Cam has always talked about how he wants to be great. We don't have poo for players around him and we won't be able to get any with our cap situation. It has ruined us for the next 2 seasons leading up to the end of his contract. Why would he want to sign a contract with a team that isn't able to get any better? I sure hope the next two years of draft picks pan out because that's our only way of acquiring players. He doesn't have to WANT to stay here at the end of the day we won't give him the choice and he would get TAGGED. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SuperMan 141 Report post Posted March 12, 2013 If I were a professional athlete playing in a city with poo poor fans like yourself.....I would probably leave too. God how the Huddle has reached an all time low. We now make the Falcon, Bucs, and Saints boards look fantastic. I used to think the saints board was bad or even the Vick era falcons board... But I'll be damned if the level of moronic bandwagon fans hasn't destroyed all intellectual football conversation on here..... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OneBadCat 2,436 Report post Posted March 12, 2013 Cam has a chance to start a legacy here. To be a franchises first true franchise QB and superbowl winner. There's a lot of pride a player would take it that. We are also going to pay him a retarded amount of money. This franchise has also shown that it's willing to do whatever it takes to give Cam what he needs to succeed. We are building a team to fit him. Also, this has to do with the legacy thing but Cam has the opportunity to flip the Carolina Panthers into one of the trendiest teams in the league if he succeeds. We would become the hornets of the NFL. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jhyler12 29 Report post Posted March 12, 2013 If something doesn't change (great coaching, great FA, wins) its gonna cost us our entire salary cap to keep him! I mean he can probably play most positions but man he will be tired... :phew: joking aside, it may take too much unless our Tradition changes here and we step it up, the organization is better than this and they need to show it!

CRA 14,133 Report post Posted March 12, 2013 I salivate over the absurd amount of draft picks it would take to pry a franchised Cam Newton from Don Gettleman. I don't know...I think we all assume we know Don better than we do. That is Don QBs Should Pass Not Run Gettleman. Cam doesn't seem like the obvious pairing. That is why I am 1000000% pulling for Rivera this year. Keep Rivera....Keep Cam. That, I feel confident in. Cam just needs to win on for the Chico. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Marguide 3,540 Report post Posted March 12, 2013 Just for the sake of argument, let's say Cam wanted out as soon as possible. He knows the team can hang onto him for 7 years. Meanwhile, following his 3rd year he has an offer on the table for $110 million with say $45 million or more guaranteed. His agent wants him to sign too so he gets his cut. Do you really think he's going to keep turning down big money and wait 4 years just to be able to go wherever he wants? I don't see it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
csx 8,007 Report post Posted March 12, 2013 Even if many fans don't like Richardson, it seems players like and respect him. I honestly think there is more to it than large contracts as well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
