Two really quick questions that you need to be honest about.

Cam has shown everyone that he can play at a high level.  Cam hasn't shown that he can stay healthy.

Correct.

And I definitely disagree with the idea that Newton doesn't have a choice. You might not be able to find a trade partner, but if he's set free, someone's gonna give him a call.

Something to ponder.... 

 

1. If you are the Carolina Panthers do you give Cam Newton an extension?

 

2. If you are Cam Newton, do you step foot on a field under a 1 year contract?

 

 

I've been saying this for awhile now.

Everyone wants to make this about his $19m next year or Kyle Allen but I think it is more about the extension.  Elite players, especially QBs expect to be extended a year early.  These are decisions that were going to have to be made this offseason, maybe the injury moved that up a little but either way it was soon.  

In theory how Kyle plays is largely irrelevant.  Granted if you have a backup that is playing well the decision might seem easier, but ultimately you don't give a guy a monster long term deal just because you don't have a capable backup.  

I can't really blame the Panthers for not wanting to commit to a long term deal, but I also can't fault Cam for not wanting to play under a one year deal.

Anyone who has an opinion of "I would just let Cam play the last year on his deal and then sign him to a long term after" or "I would sign Cam to a midlevel deal that accounts for the injuries" is making huge assumptions about factors that they probably don't know anything about.
