Is Cam Newton Washed?

I'll defend him if he plays better but he has a few more games like this I'd think about a replacement. Gotta be real about the salary cap and diminished returns etc. We got great talent at key positions, can't waste that

do you think we extend cam? 

 

If we don't... someone's gotta get fired

This is true, but we're BECOMING the Carolina IFs.  We always knew Cam couldnt run forever, but we (or at least I) hoped two things.

 

1.  That by the time that was true we had won the big game.  Close but no cigar

2.  That if we hadn't won the big one we had enough around him, and he had enough arm/smarts to eek one out for us

I don't see that happening.  I hope I'm wrong, but I don't think that I am.

You make a good point and I appreciate your logic. 

 

If the Panthers underachieve this year, Rivera is at a minimum gone.  Maybe Hurney too.  They don't have much of a rope left.  THEY might be the reason we've been the Carolina IFs.  It's always leadership in scenarios where groups of men are underachieving.  Cam is not the problem, I'm sure of it.

Well that's a good point.  Shelf life for an explosive RB like Christian is probably 5-6 years at that level and then maybe another 2-3 as a good not great one.  We have everything we need on offense except a QB.

I really didn't care deeply if we lost today.  The Rams are a good team.  I had one question only, and its the same one I'll have next week. 

Is the new pocket passing Cam Newton (because I didn't think he'd run at all and he didn't) good enough to win the Superbowl.  You say yes, I say no, lets hope you're right and I'm wrong.

    • Also hit the over.  Banking on Man City running up the score and Leeds getting a lucky strike.   
    • Tailed you.  Also Free Play, which is why the risk shows $0.00. Let me look at hoops and get back to you.  Always fade Hubert, haha. 
    • Hard to say right now, but good thinking.  I look at this as the info we need for free agency.  Looks like we are going to free up about $10m so far; watch to see if any contracts (Moehrig, Horn, Brown, etc) are reworked the first week of March.  Then after free agency, we will have a pretty good idea. Right now, to be fair to your question because I am sure you are aware of its timing: In free agency, I see us adding an OT of some sort and drafting one at some point.  It all depends on how they view Ickey, Nijman, and maybe BC.  That OT could be Nijman.  I do not see the future OT--just a stop gap. I see the Panthers signing a free-agent center.  I think the market is strong.  I see Fortner from the Saints as a prime candidate and his salary is estimated at $6m by Spotrac.  the Saints are $42m over the cap, so I doubt they are able to re-sign many of their own.  He will be 28.  I also expect them to re-sign Corbett (depth) at a vet min ($1.5m) deal. I also see free agency as a strong area to get a free safety who can play and is under age 30.  Hawkins, Cook, and Bryant are all around age 27-28, play at a high level, and should be had for about $15m per. EDGE: Arnold Ebiketie is a good value because he gets pressure at a high percentage.  He had 2 sacks and Atlanta just drafted 2 pass rushers last year.   He has a 70+ PFF rating and will (Spotrac) demand about $9m.  While he is not the answer, he is a great third down option with Princely and he would allow for Jones, Scourton, and Princely to develop.
