Why would Cam stay in Carolina?

I recently had a discussion with my Saints fan neighbor.  He asked why the Panthers haven't already signed Cam to a big contract extention like Kaepernick signed in San Fran or Dalton in Cincy.  I said "Because Cam isn't staying with the Panthers."  

 

Why would Cam stay in Carolina?  The only reason is loyalty to the team that drafted him.  We all know how bad Cam wants to win.  Three out of his four seasons in Carolina have been awful losing seasons.  And little of it is his fault.  Cam can get the same money somewhere else and step onto a team that is lightyears ahead of Carolina in coaching and talent level.  He's guaranteed to be in Carolina one more season, maybe two if they use the franchise tag on him.  There will be teams LINING UP to make him HUGE MONEY offers once he hits free agency.  I'd be extremely surprised if he signed a new deal in Carolina and didn't at least test what options will be available to him.   He'd be an absolute fool not to entertain the idea of playing for someone else.  There are so many good teams that would be interested it's scary.  Here's a SHORT list:

 

Philadelphia: Can you imagine Cam in Chip Kelly's offense? They don't seem sold on either Foles or Sanchez and this could be a prime destination for Cam.

 

Dallas: Romo's back is due to give out any game now...Jerry Jones would break the bank for Cam.

 

Denver: How much longer will Manning play? Cam could keep them in contention for another 10 years.

 

Arizona: Palmer might come back next year if his injury heals but they need a QB of the future in the worst way. Great offensive coach and solid team all around.

 

Houston: Another solidly built team that just needs a QB to really take over. Cam went to JUCO at Blinn College near Houston...

 

 

And you can bet many other teams would at least give him a call.  The Panthers have one more season to change his mind.  I hope I'm wrong.

A few reasons off the top of my head:

Because he is close to family.

Because he already has many ties to the community.

Because the Panthers have the ability to keep him for several more years, even without a long term deal.

Because he has won here.

Because of other building blocks on the team.

Because Carolina will be out of cap hell soon.

I have heard of a lot of fans of other teams saying Cam is going to leave Carolina. I do know we can franchise him after next week but the worst thing you can do in make someone stay who doesn't want to stay. With that being said, Cam has been saying the right things on wanting to stay here. Only he knows where his heart is set on playing. I forgot where I seen this but there was an article with "sources" saying that Cam really wants to win in charlotte and believes he can. Take it for what its worth..

I've had a similar sentiment.  I sense he wants to stay but he's a kid who has learned how to say the right things so I'm cautiously optimistic.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      By electro's horse · Posted

      Wow I can’t believe the panthers tried to trade up, failed, but still got the guy they wanted to trade up for. I wonder if anyone else has ever said that next you’ll tell me they had Hunter and Brazzell graded as first rounders.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t think people are saying that picking up the option is a call for the pitchforks. We would have had to do things differently a couple of years back to make declining the option a valid move. We didn’t and here we are. People largely accept that. The pattern it adheres to, reinforces the nausea we feel when the idea of an extension, and at top of the market no less, comes up.  One that he hasn’t shown he deserves.   Same as he did not deserve to be drafted 1.1. Look at Pavia and what really is the difference? Bryce is a nice guy and Pavia is an asshole lol. They are both no margin for error non day one talents. One went undrafted.  Probably should have been drafted day three anyway. The other was way over drafted.

      We hate losing. I don't know Bryce to hate him. His play as a QB, I absolutely hate. It's just not good enough. If there were a lottery held to select the order and all 32 starting QBs could be drafted as the starting QB for whatever team selected them, how long do you think it would be before Bryce's name was called? Top 10, top 20, bottom 8? Think about it.  For me, having never seen back to back games with franchise QB level performance in 3 years tells me what I need to know. We still need to be looking for our solution at QB.
