Using a timeline format, over the last 4 years, count the games during that time Cam was healthy?  Playing hurt is not healthy.   On your calculator, enter the number of games he was healthy.  Then divide the number of healthy games by the amount of money he was paid during the current contract.  In the window, convert the answer to dollars to calculate the amount we paid Cam when he was healthy per game. 

The answer to your question will appear in numeric form.

People say his contract was a bargain and he deserves and extension.  Does he?   

Oh no, I have no issue with them not wanting to extend him because of his inability to stay healthy. Mr. Scot was saying that they weren't even interested in having him at QB this year without the new contract which I found surprising.

We didn't really know that before now. Heck, up to yesterday, I figured Newton would play out 2020 and then be a free agent.

As of today, I'd say it's pretty clear the team is ready to move on, evidenced primarily by the fact that they appear to be actually doing it.

The Panthers have handled Newton poorly for pretty much his entire career.

That his exit would also be poorly-executed probably shouldn't come as a surprise.

(and here I was told that Marty Hurney always does a fantastic job letting players go gracefully and with dignity)

If you think Hurney is driving this you... are wrong. To say it nicely.

10 years from now you will probably still be in here posting about how Hurney set us back 10 years.

If you look around, you'll see I actually stated more than once today that Marty wasn't driving this. Just the opposite.

He sucks at his job, but this wasn't his call. It was David Tepper's.

I love Cam but if he wouldn't play without a extension then we have to trade him. You don't give a extension to a player who has been hurt for almost two years without seeing play at least a full season. 

I think more of this will come out over time.  If Cam’s people were angling that he wanted a new deal to play that was probably the last straw.  
For a guy that manages risk there is no way for him to anti up to a multiple year deal for Cam. 
Hate to see him go.

no way a trade is going to happen. 

Every NFL team knows the Panthers are about to cut him.   So they will wait.  Deal w/ FA Cam and owe Carolina nothing.   

Disagree.  The Panthers will find a trade partner.  Cam's contract is well below what the starting QBs are making, so that makes a team willing to take flyer on him have low risk (money-wise) if he doesn't pan out.  If they cut him, there will be a bidding war, and teams will not want to offer top dollar to a QB coming off two consecutive injuries from the last 2 seasons.  Hopefully, the draft haul will be in line with the Bills and not the Texans.

Technically, the Panthers aren't looking for a trade partner. They're leaving that up to Newton and his agent.

      Panthers coverage efficiency

      By NAS · Posted

      Call me crazy but if you’re in the bottom 7 in efficiency using Zone 84% of the time why not try something else? You paid Jaycee top 5 CB money use him more effectively. Zone is only efficient if you can generate a good pass rush to force a QB into mistakes otherwise you will get picked apart

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Good Lord this board has become a cesspool of negativity and where fandom becomes something twisted and unrecognizable.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself.
