500 points without a doubt. 

Cam as MVP isn't such a shock.  We've been seeing his incredible growth, so it almost seems inevitable, though maybe I thought he might be 1 year away.

15-1 is a BIG surprise, but I could have seen that being possible... however I would have expected it to be like 2013 - due to total defensive domination.

I STILL can't believe how potent our offense has been.  It's SO exciting.  What a great time to be a Panther's fan.  Exciting, explosive offense, and hard hitting physical defense.  Best of both worlds.  LOVE IT.

yea, #1 offense is the obvious answer.  With no obvious playmakers at WR (yea, we all like Ginn, but few people would have been honest with themselves if they thought he could be a legit #1), Stewart's injury history, and the O-line not really improving much on paper in the off season, we shouldn't have been in the top 10 offenses, much less #1.

Definitely the 500 points.  I don't think anyone in the NFL is surprised Cam Newton is MVP, he's always had the talent.  It was only a matter of time he won the award.  15-1 is surprising but not as surprising as being the top scoring offense in the NFL.

I can't believe the 500 points isn't getting all the votes. This is the Kelvin Benjamin-less, Mike Shula-led, ball control, running game dominated, conservative Panthers we were all told would need the defense to keep them in every single game to have a chance at .500, much less 500 points.

      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.
