I love Cam, but this makes me want to trade him and tank for Trevor even more. Even with the 5th year and 1 franchise tag, that’s $100M for 6 years. Including 2020, that’s $160M in cap savings for use during those 6 years. We could get a half dozen 3-7 round comp picks in 2021, some nice picks in 2020 for Cam. If someone other than Marty is helping with round 2+, that’s a heck of a lot of talent we could add and have a ton of cap room as well to make a FA splash in 2022+. If you think about the cap charges that’s like saying you could add both Aaron Donald and Khalil Mack to your team for Trevor’s year 2-6 years instead of paying a franchise QB contract.

Been saying this for a while but no one seems to have foresight that things like this will absolutely affect a future deal with Cam. Everyone seems to think he’s just going to be comfortable with average QB money taking a local discount. Likely isn’t the case...

That's if those draft picks and fa pan out. I remember seeing teams with 10 plus draft picks(many in the 1-3 rounds) like browns and still are terrible. I remember Bucs making big FA splashes and still not making playoffs.

A lot of this stuff sounds good in theory and on paper until its in action on the field.

We'll see but its all a gamble in the end, no matter which way you go.

This notion that you can just keep drafting franchise quarterbacks so you don't have to sign them to a huge contract and not skip a beat has been mentioned before. It's a real nice dream scenario I'll give you that. But that's all it really is. This isn't Back to the Future where we have a magic book that tells us who to take in the draft so we'll always strike gold. When we find our next quarterback, he will be getting paid nicely for his services sooner rather than later if he is good at what he does. That's not changing anytime soon so you guys need to accept that.

That's still not how it works, man. He's a football player, not an actor. There's limited amount of money. Still, Dak's an idiot. From your point of view, he could get more, but $33 mil a year is nothing to sneeze at. I guess what we're trying to say is you don't give a guy money because of the money he's going to bring in selling jerseys for the "most known franchise."

I do, however, agree with your last sentence.

Sure, as an owner or GM I would try to pay him as little as possible.... but as a players agent, and I tend to side with players, I’d def make the argument that the face of the most valuable franchise in the world needs to get paaaaaid.  How marketable he is will definitely be a factor in negotiations .

To sell him with that strategy, you'd need an owner that cared more about making money than winning.

 

 

 

Yeah, it could work :thinking:

It would be cool to see a franchise try to flip a QB every 5 years after their rookie deal ends if they are successful (obviously cut them earlier if they aren't or won't be). Either trade or let them walk, but draft their replacement each time and just devote all money to the rest of the team. I wonder how well they'd do.

      Canes vs Panthers Rd 3 Gm3 8pm

      Oh I went off and fully entertained my wife last night as my emails go to her phone as well because of my health. So she got the whole conversation as it happened.    Like I went to games in Detroit for the cup finals, I've been to games in Greensboro, Raleigh, and Chicago as well. My mom and her nurse friend double dated one of the players from when the team was in Greensboro. "He's still with the team in some compacity as well." I know people who work for the team at the arena as well. How the hell would I not be considered a fan. Only reason I haven't gone to a game since 2022 is because of my health and money situation. Last game I went to was at United Center in Chicago and me and my wife spent around 1k for glass seats and some food at the arena and we were next to the penalty box. The pictures of the hurricane players I took are lost because my phone crapped out a few weeks later.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      The Falcons win was a fantastic way to end the season and I think just about every Panthers fan would agree the team the coaching staff and particularly Bryce Young were impressive. We really needed that. Credit where it's due. At the same time. Now we have to establish it wasn't just a flash in the pan. We had one of those earlier in the season against the Raiders. As a tortured Panthers fan I have to acknowledge that. I know you're joking but in all seriousness I don't think the QB sneak is something for us to be concerned about in general but I would be lying to myself if I did not acknowledge that looking back at one particular game last season where we continually trotted out Eddie Pinero on 4th and short on the opponents side of the field we could use some creativity in those situations and it's also a matter of predictability. As time goes on it's something for Canales to work on and figure out. Especially with our kicker situation as it stands.

      I appreciate the measured tone, truly. Hopefully we're at a point where we can dive a little deeper into the discussion. The observation about his footwork is fair in theory, but I'd also counter with 6'1" Brock Purdy recently admitting that he can't see his target on 40% of his throws due to the linemen in front of him. He just inked a massive deal, and while a lot of fans are understandably wondering what he's going to do with reduced weapons, "not seeing over the line" just doesn't seem to be that big of a disqualifier with his understanding of timing, leverage, and pre-snap reads (Aaron Rodgers is 6'2"... bet he's dealt with the same). Bryce is likely dealing with similar challenges due to his size, but it clearly doesn't mean it can't be managed at a high level. Also, I'm not convinced that "prototypical footwork" should be the end goal for a QB that isn't built like the prototype. What matters more is timing and rhythm with his receivers... which, as we've both noted, has been evolving as the WR room flips from vet stopgaps to rookies. He will need to improve there. That's not in dispute. What is in dispute is the impact that footwork is having on his ability to process and execute. The earlier suggestion that he's “hopping around” to see the field implies a frantic or panicked visual search, which just isn’t something we’ve seen reflected in either the film or any reliable breakdown. If it were as exaggerated as described, it would’ve become a meme-worthy moment (or at least been on SportsCenter's Not Top 10). Instead, we've seen a QB who, like many young passers, occasionally loses platform stability under pressure. That is something that's common and correctable, and again, not something that shows up with enough frequency to suggest it's an endemic flaw. It’s worth continuing to track, but to argue it's a defining issue requires stronger proof than anecdote. As for the "investments" made in the offense after drafting Bryce, I think that might be stretched a bit. Yes, we've used back-to-back firsts on WRs and signed guards to big contracts. But beyond that? Mingo (2nd) and Diontae (FA) are gone. Zavala (4th) was the worst-rated OL in the league his rookie year Sanders (4th) and Evans (5th) are mid-round TEs. Tremble was given a small contract extension but is said here to be at best a blocking TE2. Jimmy Horn Jr (6th) and Coker (UDFA) are the other WR investments Corbett + BC got one-year deals coming off of injury Cade Mays was tendered, but he was cut to start last season That's not some overwhelming infusion of elite talent. It's better, sure... but acting like it's some embarrassment of riches feels overstated. Expecting instant chemistry and impact from rookies and second-year guys while simultaneously mocking the idea of contending this year also feels a little... off? So far, what I've heard as your criteria boils down to red zone efficiency and intermediate passing to the sidelines? You mentioned moving the ball inside the 20s... I'd recommend 3rd down conversion rate, big-time throws, and turnover-worthy plays. For red zone play specifically, we could look at turnovers inside the 20. Incompletions in the red zone as well as intermediate sideline incompletions could provide an interesting starting point for film study. Hell, any of these would give us a more objective framework to work from if you're open to using them. Do any of them work for you?
