Yes,,  He's a steal at $20 million. The up sides are tremendous ,  the downsides are the injury and health, and look around the NFL today and the starting QB's who aren't playing due to injuries.  

Just for once ,,  find him a true Number 1 receiver. We've not had one since Smitty.  No All Pros at wide receiver.  He's made lemonade out of lemons his whole career here.

If Cam can play football again, it will and should be in a Carolina Panthers uniform. I believe that for as long as he can play the game, he'll be here.

Will he be able to play? I hope so, but it has yet to be seen. The foot is the question right now, but the long term question will be, without a doubt, the shoulder. That shoulder is the key to playing as a QB in the NFL for Cam more than anything.

And if he can't throw... well, he's still an amazing player on the field and he has incredibly good hands for catching. We don't talk of players in the NFL having a second act and it still be on the field anymore, but back in the day, George Blanda transitioned from QB to place kicker (he even took turns running the ball and even played a season as a linebacker. 

Still, I can't imagine seeing anything better than Cam back under center, flinging passes downfield and every now and then carrying the ball downfield, wreaking havoc  and smiling and having a great time. Hope that can happen, but it may not be in the cards.

yeah i think so. he'll definitely play somewhere and if he wants to play in charlotte as he says, they'll get a deal done.

Deal done? Are you implying they extend him before 2020? 

Because that would be a very stupid move for the franchise and team in general.

    • no doubt but flip that.   The current system insures that there are "regional" games in the early weeks. maximizing the reach of playoff football.  If all of the WC weekend for a conference took place on the west coast they are reducing the "reach" of their hype machine.
    • Hard to say with London--he never ran--combine or pro day.  Here is what AI says, and it is always 100% accurate: Drake London's 40-yard dash time at the NFL Combine was not recorded because he was dealing with a fractured ankle at the time. While he didn't participate in the 40 at the Combine or his pro day, his coach said his 40 time was estimated to be between 4.4 and 4.53 seconds. Some sources also list his 40 time at 4.58 and 4.6 seconds Unless you are running 9s all day, top end 40 speed is rarely reached.  I have always looked at the 3-cone drill.  At his pro day, TMac ran a 6.86--pretty good, actually.  For context, it is faster that Rome Odunze (6.88) who ran a 4.45 40.  Odunze is 6'3" and weighs 216, fwiw, and is considered a very good route runner with no wasted motion.  Mike Evans 3-cone was 7.08.  To put it in a broader context, through 2022, with all NFL prospect 3-cone drills combined, a 6.86 puts TMac in the.89th percentile-  Now consider the fact that he is 6'4" and 220.   We might have something here.  '
