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.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By trucpfan · Posted

      This is huge may not be a trap game but this plays a major part in what they want to do. If we can get some pressure on Sam we know what he does with pressure coming hit and heavy. Also we may be able to take the top off their defense a backup safety trying to stop TMac or Cooker over the top or forcing him to play the backend should allow us to run the ball somewhat effectively. Either they allow some runs or we take some shots and if Bryce and whoever can connect deep we’ll be in business for another big time win against a top notch opponent. Might not be a trap game but health travel game plans all play a major role in each weeks game plan and this week might be leaving our way. We’re missing some replaceable pieces they’re missing key anchors to the offense and defense major difference time to solidly ourselves at one of the top teams in the nfc tomorrow fellas buckle up.

      Give Legette another season?

      Yes.  If I am not mistaken, we need to sign Coker to the ERFA tender and insist that XL spends his spring and summer at a WR camp and not Coon huntin on his four wheeler.  XL was raw when we picked him--which is why I wanted to go another direction--and we are seeing how raw.  He is basically learning a position.     The Panthers will make their move in 2026 to be an NFL powerhouse behind Bryce.  Bryce needs intelligent WRs who catch the ball.  That said, we need a solid #2 to challenge XL and make cutting him easy, if necessary.  A #2 WR (intented to be a #1 by now) with under 400 yards is embarrassing.   On offense, you have to ask, "Where can we get better?"  In my view, #2 WR, TE (although they are improving) and maybe C (again, if we re-sign Mays, he is trending up and at 26, entering his prime--I say stay with him and find competition later in the draft (not good for C).  OL depth maybe?  In other words, XL is a glaring weak spot.
