After the Cutler meltdown and the huge contract he secured, does DG tread carefully with this decision? Cutler's MAIN money is tied into a three year,50 millon plus contract with no signing bonus. The Bears will have a hard time trading him with that contract or cutting him. Kapernick and Dalton have basically one year consecutive deals and make it much easier for a team to get out of.

Cam has stated he does not want that.The three mentioned are not playing their best football. Does DG hold off and try to 'franchise tag' after next year (which he can do twice), or give him the contract he wants? The 'buyers remorse' comment by the Bears OC (and how poorly Cutler has performed), may influence these kind of contracts.

First of all. Cam has not "stated" anything related to contract numbers, so let's just get that out of the way, kthx.

 

Secondly, yes Cutler's contract is uhh not very good, but he's only part of the Bears problems.

 

To me it looks like the coaches have lost the players in Chicago. They have talent there.

Cutler isn't in the same league as Cam.

 

 

The Panthers will pay Cam big guaranteed money. He is the franchise and DG isn't as stupid as some Panther fans.

 

This.

 

For his entire career, Cutler has been known as a turnover machine with a bad attitude.  The Bears saw some promise last year, but and jumped at the chance to keep him.  Now Cam has been criticized for his bad attitude as we all know, but as we've seen,  he's improved, he's matured, and he's more of a leader than Cutler could hope to be.  That being said, we'll pay the man.

Forget about Kap and Dalton. Both were set to make change this year compare to other qbs, so the teams had all the leverage by offering the big payday a year earlier.

Cam is already set as the first pick with the fifth year option.

So Cam is in a position to demand a contract the guarantees he is the starter, as it would cost to much to cut him, even if he had a down year/injury.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      Just as we won those close games we could have just as easily lost them. So the jury is out on if we were more lucky than good ( see the sweep by the saints) Were moving forward on paper. And how badly dont we all want to see us back to at least Above average form. Its about time.

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      If you're looking for a pat on the back it sounds good in theory until you realize they also had the 2023 Panthers as the top draft class.

      Going into the 2003 and 2015 seasons we were supposed to be the joke of the league each time. In 2003, John Fox was supposed to still be in rebuild mode. We had a guy named Peppers on the defensive line who was supposed to be pretty good. We had Rodney Peete as our starting QB and a line that was a lot of hope and not much experience. Our new running back was a guy the Redskins, errrr Commanders, had jettisoned for being too old. We had a good kicker and writers thought that was needed because there were going to be more field goals than touch downs. Heck, it looked like they were right up until just before halftime of that first game when we had to yank Rodney Peete and put in some Cajun duded whose name couldn't be pronounced. And Steve Smith? He wasn't Smitty yet. Moose Muhammad, well, he was close to being written off as a bust. You know how that turned out. And then in 2015, we had Cam Newton, who was electrifying to watch but hadn't really won anything yet. There was an offensive line in front of him that looked like it was made in a defunct Swiss cheese factory and our big hope on offense was the great Kelvin Benjamin. And then he got taken out for the year with a knee injury in training camp. Ted "Feet of Lightning, Hands of Stone" Ginn became our default go to guy beside our next best hope, yeah, Devin Funchess. Our defense was pretty good, a scrappy bunch with frikkin' awesome linebacker play and a cornerback who had done more than drank the Kool-Aid, but had snorted the powder. He played like a superhero and became sort of a bat-man during the season. By the Super Bowl he had completely lost his freaking mind, though, and managed to talk his way out of a contract with the team next year. No one was expecting us to win the NFCSouth that season, much less almost go undefeated and into the Super Bowl. So, 2026? Who knows? But our best seasons came when no one had a reason to believe in us, except us.
