The Cam Newton Conspiracy Theory

There have been plenty of these threads in the Tinderbox lately, why not introduce one to the Panther forum?

 

The Panthers need to negotiate a new contract for Cam Newton soon. How different are those negotiations if the team is 6-10 versus 10-6? And how is it not beyond the realm of possibility the Panthers purposefully set the team up for another substandard season in an effort to save some money?

 

Scoff, laugh and guffaw as you may, but the precedent has been set (Jerry Richardson leading the owner lockout while claiming he didn't have 2 nickels to rub together and the subsequent horrendous roster and season result).

 

Granted, one may have to bring out the inner-most cynical self to consider the possibility, but I personally don't think it's that far-fetched to believe. And I can't wait to see how many blind faith fans will tell me this is a complete and utter impossibility although there is another professional sports league where this kind of thing is rather commonplace and accepted (NBA).

They are gonna have to pay him just as much for what he did in 11 and 12 as 13. Regardless of our record he will carry us again.

Crap talent around him won't change the fact everyone knows with a complete team around him this is a playoff team. FO wouldn't get away with a discount for a sabotage..

Coming off being division champ, 12-4, and with no sure fire option to replace Gross I can't say that the OL situation is a garbage attempt.

 

Releasing Smitty and rolling the dice with Benjamin doesn't sound like tanking either.

 

If anything, the steps being taken overall seem to point towards clearing money to afford Cam's big payday

I still would like to know if we sign Cam to a mega deal, where we will get the money to sign Keek the following year to a mega deal, then sign Star the following year to a mega deal and if KB is great, then he will get a mega deal as well.

I know hitting on all your first round draft picks for 3 or 4 consecutive years is amazing and a great problem to have but what happens when it comes time to pay them all mega deals they will command when their rookie contracts expires and Cam's contract is north of a 100 mill

The good thing about those other positions, their "mega deals" aren't the same as the huge deals QBs get. Kuechly could get a 5/70m contract, and it be the largest ever given to a MLB.

      There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
