Does Cam bring in 100 million?

The 'market dictates things like sport contracts', but the fact of the matter is very few athletes are actually worth the money they make. Take a player like the NBAs Joe Johnson. Signed a max contract back in 09 for 120 million because the 'market demanded it'. A casual NBA fan has no idea who he is or who he plays for. 2 years later he was traded and pawned off on another sucker. The Atlanta Hawks probably lost money during the whole ordeal. I say very few athletes are worth the money they make because how many can make that money back? Lebron makes 20 million a year but between Jerseys, tickets, merch and TV ratings the Cavs make back whatever they pay him. With no knowledge of how the Panthers do with Jersey sells, tickets or TV ratings, I'm guessing we're in a better position now than we were in 2010. Again I'm guessing but I'm sure JR will make that 100m back from Cam's contract, because Cam is such a marketable figure. Forget the stuff on the field. None of the "young QBs" have resurrected a franchise like Cam. So that's that

I'd say so and not only to the Panthers, but for the city as well.  Remember all those prime time games in 2010?  yeah, me neither.  The more success he has, the more Charlotte is exposed, and with that more money flows into town.  Everybody wins.

In 2014, Forbes magazine rated the Carolina Panthers as an organization valued at $1.25 billion (Billion!) and the team brought in $283 million in revenues for 2013. That year, salary cap for a team's players was $123 million. 

Even figuring in team expenses beyond salary and a host of other expenses, the earning potential of even a mid-range team like ours is phenomenal. A celebrity player like Cam will bring in a host of money from not just diehard fans, but from those drawn to him. Each national commercial he does for any product, probably drags in a few jersey sales. And if he proves to be a big time winner, the number of bandwagon fans than climb aboard just shoots the earnings ever upwards.

And some of those bandwagon fans will stay on, building a team earning base that grows through feast and famine years alike. The Dallas Cowboys are the most valuable NFL team at over $3 billion and have become so following that formula.

      I just want to see a big guy with an NFL certified cannon arm suit up for the panthers again. To me, it will show that they are at least  trying to take the QB position in the direction it needs to go.   Will he throw picks? Yes. Probably a hell of a lot, but (for now) I’m strangely ok with that… for now. I at least need to see a dude that CAN make the throws with some semblance of accuracy.  This is the time to see what the QB whisperer is made of. The offensive talent is there. It’s certainly better than most rookie/journeymen QBs will ever step in to. If he can get a random dude playing at a JAG level, then I might be sold.  Andy could really surprise in the Buffalo game. He (for now) still has enough arm for Tet and XL to show what they’ve got, but we all know it’s only going to be good for 3-4 games, max. He has vet savvy, and that does account for a lot. He also has a full week of practice with all the snaps to prepare.  My best case scenario going forward: Andy plays the next 2 games nobly (winning one would be a huge bonus) giving White a chance to learn some of the playbook and develop chemistry with the players. Serviceable Andy turns in to old man Andy in game 3 and White takes the field after halftime.  A high ankle sprain (lol, sure it is) is an injury that can buy the team a LONG time for BY to ride the pine…. Maybe even IR. His peak trade value is now. Get what they can for this albatross. He’s now shown that he can be a mid level backup which does hold a significant value for the right team.  Not even in my wildest dreams do I see White being anything more than a JAG, but that’s ok. JAGs with a big arm make great bridge QBs that at least won’t have your play makers stagnating. Keeping BY under center is a 100% recipe for stagnating high ceiling (Tet/XL) dudes and/or not allowing them to take the next step in their development. Why even practice the good half of the playbook if the QB can’t make the throw? After a while, you’ve now got high ceiling guys who can only run a limited route tree. No thanks.
