Because if we have to tag cam it will only delay the inevitable. If you have to tag Cam, he is not your franchise QB any longer and not worth the money it would cost to tag him. He has no future on the team. Franchise QB's make that much money because a team can plan their entire offense around them long term. Paying a QB that much money for just a season or two is a recipe for many, many losing seasons to come when there are such obvious needs elsewhere.

Better to make him the best offer you can make. If he chooses to go elsewhere, thats on him. You take the money you would have paid him and invest in areas of need.

I agree with this.

But I don't think he's going anywhere.

Note: I'm not very smart and am usually wrong (according to my wife)

All reports have been that Richardson and Cam are pretty tight, and Big Cat knows the revenue Cam brings in. I would be shocked if Richardson doesn't personally get involved if push comes to shove.

I don't see Cam leaving, if he does then a lot of people will be on the hotseat.

Plus if we were not confident I don't think we would have moved Smitty and turned team over to Cam.

At the end of the day, I think there will be posturing on both sides, and eventually deal will get done

This will be another Mike Mitchell situation I fear. We'll fail to lock Cam up to along term deal, then Dallas will offer him 200 gazillion for 4 yrs and we won't be able to keep him in Carolina.

We can still franchise him after this year though, so we will at least have him for another year

Mitchell is not a good example.  He was a stop gap that played well enough with the opportunity to get a big contract.  Only person that the situation could compare to is Peppers.

Can't risk letting a franchise player walk for nothing, though.

 

If you're not gonna keep him, give him the non-exclusive tag, let him find the best deal he can and negotiate compensation.

 

Just letting him walk for nothing would be crazy.

Sure, that makes sense. I am saying tagging him with the expectation of playing him a year is pointless.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
