Before I switch over to airplane mode, I thought I'd mention this little nugget. Did anybody hear Clinton Portis on WFNZ Primetime yesterday? He is a great listen and is a weekly guest with Moose on Kroeger's show. He seems to think Cam will test the free agent market because of the state of our franchise. Mentioned St Louis/L.A. Rams as a great fit. Discuss.

I have been wondering the same thing lately. You put Cam on most teams and you instantly have an upgrade and much better team. That includes every team in our conference. He is surrounded by junk. We have about five quality players on offense with him . Although our running backs are quality they require lineman to open holes for them. We don't have that.

Gettleman has this offseason to surround Cam with some more talent or I think Cam would be silly not to test free agency.

On the bright side if most of the offseason talent involves a revamped offensive line my whining like a little b$&ch is all for naught.

He is retarded.

You don't think Cam notices the talent that Dalton, Capernick and Luck has surrounding them on the offensive side of the ball?

We are not being honest with ourselves if we do not look at things from an outsiders point of view.

In the end I think he stays, but this offseason will require some touh decisions and retooling of talent.

The state of our franchise is first place in the NFC South coming off a divisional championship.

If Portis looked around he'd see that franchise qb's rarely leave the team that drafts them. On the rare occasion both parties split it's typically because of chronic injuries.

Yeah, St. Louis. Because if there's any model for how to build around a quarterback and win championships in the last decade, it's St. Louis.

Why is everyone in a rush to watch Cam leave?  Cam is going to get PAID here.  The business side of things is that we have to get the cap squared away.  In the next two years (Which Cam is UNDER CONTRACT FOR!!!), we're going to free up a bunch of cash for him, Luke and whoever else.

 

We're having a bad year.  This is the NFL, it happens for most teams.  How often to Franchise QBs leave teams?  What are the circumstances?  Do those circumstances match?  Also, why would the Panthers let Cam walk?  That's why there is a franchise tag, which he would be stuck with regardless.

 

Cam will be a Panther, unless he completely implodes.  I don't see that happening, even with the weak supporting cast this year.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
