The Cam Newton Conspiracy Theory

[IGSaint]

I dont think there is any type of conspiracy. HOWEVER, I believe that if the season doesnt go well for Cam and/or the Panthers, one of two things might happen. 1) Cam may get fed-up with the lack of support around him and not sign the big contract, or 2) Cam doesnt improve his accuracy and ability to find the open WR, and the Panthers wait another year before offering the big contract.

Cam is not going to get fed up with Carolina. He has never indicated that he would. He loves the panthers and he puts a lot of the responsibility for success of the panthers on his shoulders  So if the team fails he is not going to all of a sudden throw blame and say that the team didn't surround him with the best talent. Hell Cam even praised the O-line which every one knows is average. Cam is with the panthers for the long haul and as long as they adequately pay him he won't leave. 

 

And to your second point, even if this season Cam stagnates for whatever reason. Gettleman has already called Cam the team's franchise qb. Cam will still get offered a contract that is in line with his abilities and performance of the last 3 years.

i don't understand how this is a conspiracy.

russell wilson just won the superbowl and he hasn't gotten paid yet.

A franchise that has never once had a franchise QB finally gets one, right in a time where you NEED a franchise QB, does everything in its power to screw the guy over to try and save a few shekels? Seems legit.

It's not commonplace in the NBA. 

 

lol, are you kidding? There's actually rules going into place now that the 76ers want to hold off for one more year so they can tank again. It's very commonplace in the NBA.

A couple weeks back, it was reported that the NBA was attempting to push through changes to its draft lottery system: a re-weighting of the odds that would discourage tanking. The Philadelphia 76ers would reportedly like the NBA to hold on a sec, because they're not finished being terrible.

Because the rules say he can't?

[countryboi]

who would sabotage their own team to sign a player to a cheaper record? any GM or Coach that goes along with that will not be employed very long.

Paying Cam, Luke, etc isn't that hard.....if you aren't overpaying or drastically overpaying decent or good players all over your roster.

Stupid theory.

We would make more money if the team does well. We make the playoffs and we sell more tickets. A bad season means less tickets sales and less profits.

Right, but if Cam gets north of 100 mill, Keek gets 70, say Star gets in the 35-50 mill range as does KB, how in the blue hell are we going to afford all that? Not to mention if we get a top 5-top 10 pick a couple drafts between now and then, we also have to pay a nice little chunk for a rookie contract.

I think this will become a big problem is signing all these studs we hit home runs on in the 1st round

Why in the world would we be a top 5-10 pick with those 4 "mega stars"?

You clearly don't understand.

[top dawg]

I must say that it's kind of odd that an experienced NFL executive and premier personnel guy would choose to half-step at WR in one of the deepest WR-rich drafts in years, all after axing the only veteran WR that was worth a damn on the squad, in an up and coming QB's contract year.  

 

I'm not given to tinfoil has. Just saying that it's kind of a weird plan, and a helluva coincidence.

lol. Nice defense for an idiotic remark. 

 

I probably shouldn't expect any more from you, though. That's the usual quality of your posts.

Agreed with this. 

 

I think saying it's a "conspiracy" is a little much. But it is odd.
