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.

      Ranked Panthers as the Best this year!!

      By frankw · Posted

      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.

      Carolina Still Not Respected

      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.

      it's not so much this personal vendetta against the Carolina Panthers as it is more about Bryce Young never not once been in the same conversation with the top 15 or even top 20 Qbs in the NFL ..just saying
