So realistically how much could Cam be looking to bank. I think it would be hard to put a value on the guy until you see what he does with decent talent around him. Luck has had offensive talent around him since day one, so his numbers are to be expected. Wilson has had Lynch and a number 1 defense. What has Cam had except for pedestrian receivers(minus Smith), shaky offensive lines, an aging "star" running back and a coach who is still learning OTJ.

Considering cook got Cutler a 7 year deal worth 127 with 54 guaranteed....I think you look at that contract as the floor of what Cook is looking for, of course with more money though.

Realistically Cam can get 22-25m a season. 7 years 160 million, 70m guaranteed. As nuts as that sounds, I'd be willing to bet that Cook is looking for something similar for Cam.

We're going to lose him

 

I really doubt it.  When push comes to shove, Cam is going to get a huge contract.  Gettleman may hate it, but Cam gives us the best chance to win a superbowl.  You have to pay your Franchise QB.  Otherwise, you're back to square one.  Who wants to break in another rookie QB in a year or two? 

 

Nope, Cam's going to stay a Panther.  It's going to be a huge number, but that's the way the NFL works.  The Panthers and Cam are going to see what Seattle and Indy do for their QBs and work from there.  This is all just dancing right now.

 

(Now that I say that, Cam's contract with the Panthers will be announced in 10 minutes...)

      Panthers are down by 2 TDs at half. Mike White is brought in in the 3rd and Panthers win by 30

      The Dolphins are the example of not tieing a team to an overrated QB who can't carry a team. They were so stacked and watched most of their talent go elsewhere so they could pay a mediocre and hurt starting QB too much money. They looked so good beating up bad teams at their peak and couldn't hang with any of the other playoff bound teams. I wonder if getting tossed aside will wake up their HC or if he continues to struggle elsewhere after his early success.  It would be funny if we weren't doing a weaker and dumber version of their build.

      Bryce vs Packers as a rookie

      It was even worse than that. The following game we were also shutout. Pretty sure.  That Green Bay game, then two goose eggs to end the year.  Followed by the wonderful first two games of 2024. So 4 straight stinkers.    I looked at the box of that GB game a few weeks ago. It was 10 points and around 100-110 yards passing in the first half.  He had two TDS the 4th quarter. Around or close to 200 yards passing in the second half. It was mostly a great 2nd half.    This year’s Dallas game, he played well or turnover free for 4 quarters, had no numbers really but I thought it was his best game. Along with the Atlanta game at the end of 2024. I think the agreement Bay game was at home too, it won’t be this time.  I have to root for him to show something more in these last games  because I think they are going to keep him - so he really needs to be better.
