You still didn’t answer my question. I get your concerns but it seems like Tepper has a plan. I mean this dude knows how to run a business. I’m not too concerned as long as Marty isn’t the end all be all for drafting, contracts and roster building.

Oh, I have no idea.  My preference would have been to fire Marty after the draft last year, hire a good GM and let him make the call on Ron staying for a prove it year, or just cutting bait and hiring is own guy.  Then we would likely have our GM in place already and prepared to interview coaches the moment they come available.

By keeping them both, we find ourselves in a bad situation.

Other than owners that inherited their teams, just about every owner left is a highly successful businessman. 

Quite a few of those businessmen have consistently demonstrated an inability to field competitive football teams.

Hopefully, Tepper doesn't turn out to be one of them.

Both I doubt he will take. Cam will go where the most guaranteed money is. Next year that's the Panthers after that who knows. 

Could you see Cam actually sitting out a year if he doesn't get a new contract?

I wish all the Cam/Kyle/qb stuff was in one thread eeeesh.

I dont disagree. Last year most of us wanted both gone. But this is where we are which was the point of my posts

what if Cam balls in 2020.. he gets extended and then its back to injury row...think thats what has Money Money worried....he might just say fugit and rip off the bandaid...

The Panthers control the situation for the next 4 seasons.  

Cam doesn't have the option to "go" anywhere.

what if we draft/sign a new quarterback and he gets in a plane crash

Pay a very reasonable 1-year dear for both sides.

Unexpectedly and aggressively trade up for Burrow on draft day.

Deal Cam with something solid in return.

No he has too much to prove.

Cam will hold out if tagged. You can quote me on that.

I like it that you are willing to get on the record --- very few will do so.

I don't think the situation will ever get to a point where the team wants to exercise the tag....

....if Cam is smart and plays out the last year of his deal (as he is contractually obligated to do) and balls out --- Tepper will sign him to a great deal, it won't get to a tag situation.

Cam gave his word and has an obligation, and I believe he will live up to said obligation.

Note:  I was simply pointing out the fallacy of the "he'll go where the money is" thesis --- he doesn't have that option.

that would never happen... and injury prone could  be a problem.

I just cant see a extension at this time.  I would say that about anyone coming off of injuries.  Biggest issue is his health. but also his signing bonus.  Best for both sides to let him play his contract out and if he is healthy at the end then resign him.
