Cam might get released in offseason

Realistic view.  If Cam gets his surgery... he will likely miss 1-2 seasons.  Means he will be around 32 years old and out of contract with the Panthers.

Cam Newton projected to earn around $45M over next 2 years. Cam Newton contract was built to make him expandable after 2018.  His contract carries only $8.5M in dead money so if Panthers make him post June 1st cut, they can save $18M in cap in both 2019 and 2020. (Cam dead money hit was $30M in 2018).

Now, getting a shoulder surgery for Cam this offseason will be a disaster as he is out of contract in 2 years and will be almost 32 years old.  Surgery this offseason can potentially cost Cam around $100M.  Cam best option will be not to get surgery and try to get a new contract somewhere else with as much guaranteed money as possible.

Nah bro. Getting a healthy Cam Newton is worth investing for. His arm at 100% is probably the biggest cannon in football. He's also the biggest and most in shape QB there is. He'll be able to play for a long time. We just need make sure have the right coaches to keep him sharp.

Shoulder issues are tricky.  He might never been 100% ever again.

    • Yards a game works better over a longer period of time as well. Averages always work out over the long run. The smaller the sample size the easier it is to skew. Also opponents matter more when the size is small. Player 1 lights up 2 bad defenses in 4 starts vs Player 2 playing 10 games vs multiple defenses. It hard to make it apples to apples how it currently sits. Remember during Bryce’s little run last year how annoyed you were when people were pulling Bryce’s starts from week 9 on vs the whole season. 
    • Someone else claimed I said EVERY.  Literally in my post breaking it down it gave Bryce TDs per game.   Shough however has the majority in his favor if just looking at starts. whats subjective about comp %, yards, QB ratings and turnovers?  Now I guess the argument one might make off them could be subjective.  But all I’m saying is statistically as a starter he has been better this year overall.  I don’t think Shough is great.  I think he is impressive based on the situation.  2nd rounder stepping in on a bad team.   And he like so many other QBs…..serves as little red flag going off about what we are doing here offensively. 
    • Player A - 2 starts.  200 yards in each start. He averages 200 yards a game.  Player B - 1 start.  Throws for 400 yards.  Comes in another random game and has 1 pass attempt on a Hail Mary to end the game that goes incomplete.   Now given the random game he appeared for a snap, he averages 200 yards a game. Thats why you isolate starts. If you are talking starter vs someone who began as a backup.  Simple made up numbers/situations to illustrate the point.
