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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.

      Moton Meets the Press

      Don’t recall seeing many of his interviews but what strikes me is that he engages and goes in depth. Even with the cliche answers as referenced by OP come across somewhat thoughtful.  Very likable personality despite being someone who can crush an average person like I can crush a paper cup. I knew Motons mother had a career at MSU but was looking on the google and found that Mushin Muhammad personally knew Motons grandfather.   His late grandfather was a professor at MSU.   Cool guy.  Interesting family and small world.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      I think people aren’t patient enough with Young. It can take a few years for a QB to develop. Look at Darnold, Baker and most recently Daniel Jones.   he hasn’t been able to put up big passing numbers either cause of how much we run the ball. You can tell our coaching staff still hasn’t took the training wheels off Bryce and let him go all out. We’ve had some pretty bad receivers as well. We finally got a true number one last year and look how much Bryce improved. Still we didn’t really have any depth behind TMac. Coker was hurt for a lot of the year and XL was our #2. How many big plays or TDs has XL dropped? I think this year can be the year we see Bryce able to hit his stride. If not then we can start looking for another qb but I just ask people to be patient.
