The Next Time A Falcon's Fan Tells You Cam's No Man...

Troll?  No, I'm a guy responding to a troll thread.  Really, this whole thread is laughable.  Ryan is a much better QB than Newton.  Last year it wasn't even close.  Panther fans might want to look up Cam's stats and number of playoff wins before talking crap about Ryan or any decent QB for that matter.  Newton has had one really good season when he was backed up by a great D, last year he stunk and for most of his career he's been mediocre.  AND.....the FACT remains Newton ran from a fumble with the SB on the line.  That was the most pathetic thing I've ever seen in 30 years of watching the NFL.  That's not hyperbole, he flat out quit with the SB on the line.  Shameful.   

I don't think he ran may have looked that way...He has never ran away really from contact..what was going thru his mind at the time i dont know maybe he thought the ball would bounce and he could have salvage the play but i doubt he truly ran..anybody that watches Cam play should leadt give him some doubt..unless he conspiracy statements are correct he throwed the game..i would believe that before saying he ran away from a fumble bc of fear of contact...bc thats something he mainly does not do..now Panthers SB game was a SPeal twam and offesive lossq ..never had momentum never had a lead..To say Cam lost the game just because you assume he ran away from a fumble is not accurate..it was a offensive plunder from everybody that played except for Cory Brown.  Referees asissted in panthers loss..Referees asissted falcons as well to win..New England was able to overcome it along with the help from falcons coaching staff....it was a shame the falcons lost..panthers lost coming out the gate never had a chance. Which is worst i think falcons but who cares they both lost painfully.

    • In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.
    • Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
