Pretty good insight and analysis (it seems they botched daltons INT/YR in the chart but it doesnt come though in the writing)...

 

 

We'll compare Rushing Attempts per Season, Rushing Yards per Season, Rushing Yards per Attempt, and Rushing Touchdowns per Season.

Newton absolutely dominates this comparison. He attempts nearly double the rushses, accounting for nearly 3 times the yardage, and touchdowns with the ball in his hands. While he's fairly inline with our variable quarterbacks in the passing game, he's FAR ahead of them in terms of these statistics.

 

 

The Panthers know they're playing with fire by next extending Newton this offseason (see Flacco, Baltimore, $120.6M). With that being said, a $14.6M 5th year option for 2015 looks like a steal after the numbers we've formulated in this analysis. With team salary caps expected to rise more in 2015 and 2016, a $24M per year quarterbacks certainly isn't out of the question - even if right now it seems ridiculous.

 

tl;dr:

 

Spotrac's Prediction: 6 years, $148,800,000
Average annual salary $24,800,000, estimated $68,428,000 guaranteed

Cam technically has two years on his current contract due to the Panthers picking up the 5th year option, someone correct me if I'm wrong.  If Cam wanted to, he could build up his stats and wait another year to become the first 200 million dollar QB in the NFL.  Of course he's probably not going to want to wait much longer after that rib injury.

I've said it before and I'll say it again, I think Cam will work out a team friendly deal. I'm convinced he wants to win a Super Bowl more than signing a ludicrous contract.

I like to think that as well. Cam is such a competitor and I honestly think he values winning more than money to an extent. He's got Under Armour and other endorsement deals too. He doesn't need to take the Panthers for every nickel.

I also don't think DG would sign him to a contract that would cap strap the Panthers for years to come. Cam's a leader and a true teammate, I'm confident they'll find a middle ground.

I get this impression too... I think he wants to win.  He'll get paid, but he'll keep it more friendly so he can win.

 

I really hope so.. especially with his marketability with big companies like UA and Gatorade, his sponsor dollars will help him see the light that is the superbowl. If he takes the hometown discount with keeks contract in mind, he would no doubt be the most popular person in charlottes history.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
