Jeremy, you know me well enough to know I don't bullshit when it comes to accolades.  You, my friend, need to be a full time reporter.  This full article was fantastic.  You do a fantastic job with this message board.  The price is a bargain.  Thanks for what you do.

​Honestly this is the reason I didn't hesitate when it came to going All-Pro.  I don't post.  I don't contribute.  But I spend hours each day reading quality information here that's so good I felt bad about getting it for free.  This place is great, and has been my main time sink since I found it years ago.  

 

So..Yes..Thank you for what you do, it is greatly appreciated.

Ed Dickson told me personally Cam was the toughest player he'd ever played with, and credits him for wanting to stay.  Who wouldn't want to be a part of the greatest dynasty of the salary cap era right?  Other 31-prepare thy anus.

The point you made that I find most interesting (and it makes perfect sense), was the connection between his foot injury to the high throws--pre and post surgery, it was a problem.  High throws are all about the feet--not stepping into the throw, attempting to compensate for the lack of power with the arm alone.  Accuracy always suffers.  I connect that with the accuracy on the deep ball, something he has not had for a year or two.  Hmmm. 

Now we have a stable full of burners who can get deep (Brown, Funchess, Ginn, Hill).  The line has improved.

Another thing--this is probably why Cam has not signed a new deal yet.  If I were his agent, I would not encourage him to enter his biggest contract negotiations after a year where he was hurt most of the time.  If I were Gettlemen, I would not want to pay a man $23m per season until I had seen consistent play. 

If Cam has a great season, DG has no problem writing a check for $22-25m--he has been positioning the roster so he can do that.  Both sides want 2015 to show them what the actually have in Cam Newton.

​Thanks, I know I am not much of a writer. Was never a strong suit of mine even in highschool. But hopefully people can get some enjoyment out of their pedestrian nature. lol

I to appreciate your hard work, and the unique insight and perspective you bring to Huddle.

In your opinion,  why is Cams health in contrast to last season  not a bigger story from the national sports writers when analyzing the Panthers 2015 prospect of success?

      Underdog Fantasy on Bryce Young

      By strato · Posted

      His entire contract is basically 90% guaranteed he got a 24 mil signing bonus and a similar prorated amount. You could save a a few million roster bonus, for '25 and '26.  If he is horrible draft someone. Make them beat him out. He can be #2 for ’25 before the season is over. Maybe before camp.  If he’s greatin ‘24 then no problem.

      I still hope he can be the next Tua. But not sure how i feel about the next years class will be. Sanders you have to deal with the Media and his dad who wont want him here. Is Beck going to be the man? Ewers had to fight off a Freshman last year. Hoping if we pick high we can do a trade like the Bears did to us.

      Panthers run ONE play on repeat

      I understand the point you're trying to make but Brady didn't win all those Superbowls without a good arm. You see how Bill B has done without him. I think we're getting tangled up in the significance of labels on this discussion. Good. Elite. Average. Above/below average. What it boils down to is what the individual can do when the rubber meets the road. You either can throw an adequate deep ball when situation requires or you can't. Burrow is certainly an intelligent QB. The Championship game was a combo of that and obviously a very well crafted gameplan. But IQ or "processing" ability only get you so far as well. I mean Bryce Young was regarded by many as damn near a 22 year old Professor Charles Xavier on the football field leading up to the draft. Didn't make a damn bit of difference in 16 games. Your phsyical talent shows up on the film or it doesn't.
