Neither of them think he should get it, but it's still surprising to see Cam discussed positively (or the Panthers discussed at all) on First Take. (Skip does says we're the worst 3-0 team, although I obviously think we're better than the Falcons, but whatever).

Both of them also side with Cam in Hochuli-gate:

Skip:  Panthers have to go 14-2 for Cam to be CONSIDERED in the MVP race.  

 

 

What.  The.  fug?  14-2?  Really?

Dick The Butcher: takes anything Skip Bayless says seriously

How have people still not figured out that it is HIS JOB to be controversial. If he was "rational fan X" no one would care.

I assume he meant with the current stats Cam's putting up. Projecting over the course of a season that's 4300 total yards and 37 total TDs (rush and pass). For Cam to get the MVP over Rodgers or Brady in that case, I think the Panthers would have to end up with a really good record.

But the Falcons have a flashy offense!! Duh, that makes them like the greatest team evar! Like omg that high flying flashy offense is like totally awesome, like totally. Best. Team. Evar.

And yet, despite all that offensive firepower, Matt Ryan is still the most boring competent-to-good QB in the NFL haha. He's Flacco minus the super bowl ring.

I'm not taking what he said seriously.  It's widely known how much of a tool he is.  I'm just stating the obvious.

The twitter poll on their show was #MVP4Cam

Yes got 58%, so the public is getting the message

Or the Carolinas watch First Take.

The narrative is changing with Cam but it is still rooted in rumors, assumptions and lies. The growth that is often discussed is code for fake smile, towel head, stolen laptop nonsense that abounded when Cam came out.

Some talk about his growth as an actual QB but most are simply referring to the tired and lazy narrative that was always there.

      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.
