Do you want to 'compete' (go 8-8 at best), or win a Super Bowl

Because the odds of winning a Superbowl with Teddy Bridgewater and a RB making 16 million dollars are close to 0

So many people content with mediocrity

they are all mad because Cam is no longer the face of our franchise

I was going to say it but I got banned twice in two days for calling someone out.

That's some Hurney magic right there!

I can't remember the name of the cap guy we hired but we need to make a thread for him!

Panther's FO did a good job with this one. It will also look like a bargain in a couple of years. 

Great deal, for all the talk of 6 years 75 mil, it's essentially a 3 year  and 37 mil deal. If worst case scenario happens and CMC fades badly over the next couple of years [ not expecting that to happen nor wanting that to happen], he can be cut after the 22 season  without too much dead money. You'd have 8.6 mil in dead money you could spread over two years. 

That's a reasonable risk for the club. No reason to think CMC will decline, barring injury, but if he does, club has protected themselves about as well as they could, while still rewarding the player. Compare and contrast that to the Kalil contract-the tackle not the center. That was set up completely in the player's favor.

After the 3rd year, they can afford to cut or trade him if they need to.  Be easy to create cap space with his contract as well.  If the team has a franchise QB and CMC is still playing well, you can keep him. If the team isn't doing well but CMC is, you can trade him to another team pretty easily.

Chances of sucking and suddenly winning the Superbowl are far less.

Could be worse. They could have done something incredibly idiotic like hiring a head coach based on where he went to college.

How dumb would that have been?

“We should have let him play out his last year!! We gave up all the leverage we had!” Meanwhile you see his 2020 hit, and we saved money in the future by doing it now, avoiding a holdout, and locking him up in his prime. We have a talented young group on offense, and it’s going to be exciting to watch. Next year we can compete once we have had one more offseason to build up our defense.

Not to mention basically throwing our 2017 8th overall draft pick away. Might as well of just traded it back then if we planned on trading CMC 3 years later.

The Cam fanboys are just butthurt.

People scream for change because, hate to break the shocking news to some people but 7 wins average in the past 4 years is mediocre at best.

So get a complete overhaul and now people whine and bitch things have changed because they are worried we won’t get back to our 6-10 record within 3 years lol.

Oh noez! Teddy got a 3 year, contract and the best RB in the league got a 4 year contract!!! We are doomed for the next 15 years!!

Idiotic casual fan dumbassery at its finest.

I’m not sure how many times he has to be embarrassingly wrong or stupid threads he has to create to realize no one can take his opinion even slightly seriously. He’s like GOOGLEJIMBOB’s mini.

ehh, there is plenty of reason to be skeptical of giving a RB a huge contract.

but otoh, I think the alternative is much, much worse.

glad we signed him.
