Yes. That’s part of the deal when you get picked first overall in the draft. You are on an awful team to start your career. 

Andrew Luck was a #1 pick and went 11-5, 11-5, 11-5 his first three seasons and he's never had a losing season when suiting up for at least 50% of the regular season games...

...5 losing seasons in 8, not good.

Who was in his division vs. who was in Cam's?

After much thought...I think this is the crux of the issue. If Cam is healthy and we want to retain him hes gonna cost us a ton of jack. CMC who in my mind is the best player in the game is going to command the richest salary of any RB in history. I feel we can only afford to retain one of them. That is, if you consider the percentage of cap space signing both will eat up.

I think you've gotta go McCaffrey here.

If there is anything that this Kyle Allen debate has shown us...its that we can win a lot of games having a guy that can manage the game and let CMC do his thing.

Now if Cam was 26 we may be having a different conversation.

What do you guys think about having the ability to sign both? If we cant...who do you go with?

For me it's not much of a question at this point...but I'm curious to read all of your opinions on this upcoming decision.

Lmao

If Tom Brady lost 8 in a row and the backup won 2 games against the Cardinals and Texans, while fumbling 4 times and losing all 4, and scoring 0 TDS in one of those wins, it wouldn’t stop me from signing Tom Brady.

Every other team in the league is capable of signing their QB and running back. We are too. That being said, I’ve never suggesting signing Cam Newton long term is a good move. Signing running backs long term doesn’t seem to be a good move in today’s NFL either. No contracts should be more than 3-4 years. 

I asked you about Ryan who IS a comparable QB. You obviously refused to answer that question.  Tom Brady was winning SB's from when Cam was 12 to up until last year. And unfortunately is the GOAT.  Comparing Cam with Brady is ridiculous.

You’ve ducked half the posts I’ve written back to you in response.

CMC doing work today.

Has to be the #1 priority at this point.

I don't think there is or has been a person on this board suggesting CMC shouldn't be a priority to get signed. CMC got hurt though and Cinnabons came in for him and did work, too. Maybe we don't need to have CMC out there every play?

      Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
