Long term deal, no question. Cam is now in the same situation as Steve Smith throughout most of his career (incredible talent with mediocre surrounding cast and questionable coaching), but the difference now is that Gentleman knows exactly what it takes to build a winning team in today's NFL and can do it.

The fifth year option hasn't been exercised yet correct? So tagging isn't needed right?

 

He is under contract with 5th year option next season, so no franchise tag until 2016

 

Don't wait that long, get a long term deal done this offseason

I just hope Cam doesn't expect a mega deal that would cripple the team, a la Drew Brees.

Something team friendly that pays him fairly is ideal. We'll see how it works out.

 

Cam has exceeded the play of MOST QBs WHO WERE DRAFTED #1 (most were busts), and shattered those of most of his critics (but they are still trying), but unfortunately for him, he is, historically, playing at the same time as Andrew Luck and Russell Wilson, to whom he is judged against. He won't get greatest of all time money, which he won't expect, and he clearly wants to win a Super Bowl more than anything and realizes he can't do it alone. He also knows that Luke needs to get paid, too. He'll be reasonable, because like he said when he got his rookie deal, "It's still more money than I've ever had."

 

Cam's agent, on the other hand...

If I am GM I am first firing Shula and bringing in a QB guru / whisperer and a elite OC. Then I will hold off on making a deal with Cam until I can see what he looks like with competent coaching.

 

If he still is widely inconsistent I will offer him a fair deal for his play. Dang sure would not break the bank for a qb that hasnt turned the corner in year 5 or so.

Agree. This is pretty much what I was getting at.

      Round 7: The Carolina Panthers select LB Jackson Kuwatch (Miami of Ohio)

      By bigginpc · Posted

      He does have speed. 21+ top end speed is very fast for a linebacker and his 3 cone drill time is considered excellent, close to elite.

      This is awesome because you get to see the perspectives of the scouts--get a glimpse behind the curtain. I wonder whose doing this was; I am curious as to why David Tepper allowed it. Maybe it was his wife. Maybe Dan.  At least from my perspective--and probably one shared by other fans--when David Tepper bought the team, he closed everything off too much to the fans, and really didn't give an explanation. Things were obviously done because he (and/or some others wanted to do it). Remember when they used the guise of construction and all that to keep fans from seeing the team during practice? I know there are laws and safety and all that, but Tepper could've made it happen. And, of course, we all know that they essentially fired Jeremy from his independent contractor gig as a photojournalist. I never understood why they'd do that (and the negative reverberations obviously affected Jeremy and ultimately this place--i.e, us fans). The pie was (and is) certainly big enough to throw some scraps to the independents. I realize that you can't necessarily open the floodgates, but a few different perspectives from indy journalists whether in word or photos is a good thing in my mind.  So, it's great to see different perspectives. I will say this however: it is not without risk, as you know there will be some buster who will be calling the scouts out if the players flop. I think we should all keep in mind that the buck stops with the GM. It's nice to have one, however, that is so convicted in his people and process--and ultimately success, that he's willing to give fans access to this type of information. Pass this on to Tepper.

      Round 5: The Carolina Panthers select C Sam Hecht (Kansas State)

      I hope he ends up being our best ever at the position. Ryan Kalil left big shoes behind that we haven't quite been able to fill since.
