Cam Newton Agrees to 5 year contract extension worth 103 million.


Recommended Posts

PTI discussed the extension and reminded me why I dont watch ESPN programming anymore. 

 

 

Tony mentions how stats can be used to form a narrative, then he goes into a list of stats for why Cam is not worth the money. Priceless.

I saw that too. 

 

Cam is actually 16-6 in December/January. That means if we actually start off well, we guaranteed about 11 wins.

​Doesn't really mean much of anything though. Of all those wins only like 4 or 5 were against teams with winning records. 

 

The last two seasons those late wins directly resulted in playoff berths.

and how many of Brady's wins came against pathetic AFC East?

Exactly why you shouldn't use wins as a metric for comparison between individual players. Not even mentioning the other players on the player's own team who contribute to either a win or a loss. It's just silly.

 "Brady's the best he won 4 Super Bowls"

"Wilson is better than Luck and Cam he has a Super Bowl win"

"Flacco deserves $20M/year, he won a Super Bowl"

"The Golden Calf of Bristol should be in the NFL all he does is win. He has as many playoff wins as Matt Ryan and Cam Newton"

It's absolutely ridiculous.

Around the Horn loves the contract and made logical sense on everything about it. Tony doesn't care for Cam, I've just come to that conclusion.

    • I think the first 3 picks will be defensive players this time. At least that's how the draft is falling this year. I would not be shocked at all if our 1st pick is the number one safety in the draft. It appears he will be right there for the taking. 
    • Man oh man. That 8-9 record without a playoff berth puts at 13 if I recall, ahead of both Atlanta and TB with their 8-9 records, due to our weaker SOS.   We might have been in range to deal for that guy. I hope he doesn’t last to 8. And I hope some AFC team picks him. 
    • Cool. I am not wanting to debate or argue it. It is mostly my preferences. But a couple of things:  I just don’t think he sees the middle of the field well. But besides that I would rather spend a 1st round pick at different offensive positions if we went offense, otherwise we have neglected defense something fierce the last few years. Last 1st rounder was Horn. That’s like 5 years ago now.   Investments… gee the last 4 drafts we have used a 2, a 2, a low 1st and a top ten pick on WR. Bryce has been here three years, three of those picks were specifically for him.  And assets, I don’t think you are counting the haul we gave for the QB position. That counts and it was huge.   Add that up and add the Burns cap space we freed up when we traded him. We bought two guards and used the savings on them. Not on the defense.  I mean, that is a lot of investment in the offense when you put all that in a sack and weigh it.    peace. Appreciate your post.
