Are we willing to pay 35 million per year for Cam?

Simple question. I love Cam, and want him as our QB for his entire career as along as he is healthy, but will the team be willing to pay top dollar for his services? In a year or two the price may go up even more so it’s not unrealistic to think Cam will expect a contract similar to Wilson’s. imageproxy.php?img=&key=7e7e9fcd50b54ebe

He is worth a lot but that just seems crippling with where the cap is currently and if the trend continues, be in the future. The gap between QBs and the non QBs is widening at an alarming rate and in a league where competion is even in contracts that is alarming.

A healthy Cam can command a lot, but Wilson is simply more accomplished. But I can see Cam getting in the 30 mil per year club if he displays decent arm strength in the coming season. Absolutely! If he can lead us to the Super Bowl while doing it, then 35 mil is certainly within reach, if not a certainty.

Depends on how his shoulder responds this year. I hope the answer is yes. I wouldn't have paid that much for Russell though

They have no choice the defense isn't the same 

Wilson is the best player on the team

They couldve traded him and draft a Qb but then they would be hoping he turns out to be Wilson or better

I don't look at it in terms of dollars.  I look at it in terms of percent of the total cap.  A franchise QB can take up 10-15% of your cap without crippling you.  Getting above that, and you quickly find yourself lacking the players to compete "somewhere" and other teams figure it out and expose you.

Now, this all assumes Cam is still a franchise QB after surgery.  If his arm is 2015 again, yea, he's good for 10-15%.  If not, then I think you start to look elsewhere if that's the money he's after.

There are a lot of pragmatic views in this thread that I did not anticipate...

If he's healthy, then yes. He hasn't been  healthy for 3 years now though, so I would not pay him that. He's still by far the best option at QB and best QB we've ever had, but his health is a major concern moving forward.

      "Floor, not Ceiling" - between the hashmarks

      I don’t know about floor in a team defense sense but we needed more.  The floor that I am familiar with is our QBs floor and it is so low that every other part of the team needs to be beefed up.     We tried our best to improve these things and I think we did improve the defense and we at least kept the offense  from sinking from no LT.  And ostensibly helped the receivers too.   So we kept a window open that we at least have a chance to improve our record by a game of two.  Which would probably give us the division.

      Yeah. I am one of. those who think a JAG RB can eat with really good blocking. (Brooks is most important in my mind, in tbe passing game and that is what we’ll lose without him)  There are a lot of aspects to this. The big one that caused us to struggle is Young and his arm scared no one.  Best back, best blocking still cannot defeat a really good defense if they are not forced to respect the pass.  And teams did not.    But, a strong OL and running game Can get us over against weaker defenses.  And if Bryce still doesn’t scare anyone we can still win some games. Like last year  So it is really important to tend to that OL.   Get that straight and see if in his fourth year he can finally back defenses off. That is what if is all about this year to me, on the Bryce front.
