If Cam has an MVP type season, what will be the reason?

It will mean:

He will be #27 on the top 100.  They will start the clip by saying. ... he is alright but he isn't Andrew Luck.

Someone will make a top 10 QB list and leave him off just to drive website hits.

The people who hate him will hate him more.

There will be endless articles about his TD and first down celebrations.

Some report questioning his commitment will come out of the blue.

Someone will say he has better pocket awareness and clearly ignore that it's probably the most stable pocket he has seen since his rookie year.

Aaron Rodgers, Luck, Either of the Mannings, Drew Brees, Matt Ryan, Flacco, Roethlisburger, Kaep, Wilson, RG3, etc.. would have to have had a horrible year for Cam to win it over them.

   Well, I think he played pretty well for an injured player. I also believe he has had MVP caliber seasons (just without wins) even though he hasn't had a great supporting cast. I think a competent o-line will help as well as weapons, but I think the only way he gets MVP recognition is if the team produces wins. He could have the same stat line with a 7-8-1 team as he does with a 13-3 team but he wouldn't receive recognition with the 7-8-1 team because the wins wouldn't be there. No matter how valuable he is (and has been) to the team, he won't win MVP until the team wins. For an individual award it requires team success......that's just how it is. So, none of the above.

My answer: Wins

There won't be any one REASON. Everything you said would factor in. Plus his development will continue like it has every year. I think, despite the bad stats and what looked like bad play on the surface, he improved a lot last year and it was a big learning year for him. He was in the MVP discussion early last year before the line went haywire, even with the busted ankle and ribs and poor overall "weapons." I really hope this is THE YEAR for Cam, and I don't see any reason why it won't be. He has the ability physically and mentally to be an MVP-caliber player, and I do think it'll show this year. Only possible hinderance is Shula, but I'm willing to give him a chance now that we have better personnel to run his offense. It seemed to work well down the stretch last year, when our interior was shored up, Philly was inserted and Stew was healthy. That was evidenced by our game against Seattle where our offense was actually carrying the team. If the defense played like it should have (or we had Hardy and Star...) we scored more than enough points to win that game.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
