Someone give me a scenario of what they think this team would look like if we could go back in time and last season we drafted rookie Cam Newton out of Auburn instead of Bryce. This team is not without talent on offense at all. Some of our receivers last week would have looked like world beaters. The Taints would have been so flustered when Cam passed and ran all over their asses they would have been backpedaling instead of of coming forward at us the whole game is my belief. Give me this exact team with Cam and all his fire and confidence and attitude and it would be infectious. We would see fire from many more guys and willing to bet that defense would have even looked better (maybe not great) being more rested.

I actually had the Seahwaks game from 2015 pop up in my recommended on YouTube yesterday and went down a rabbit hole reliving the good ole days. 

Offensively, the roster now is better. 

Cam > Bryce

Stew > Chuba 

Ginn < Diontae 

Cotch < Thielen 

Philly < XL 

Olsen > Sanders 

OL = OL (Oher, Kalil only obvious upgrades but Moton >>>>>> Remmers) 

Jury is still out on Canales, it's been one game, but I have a hard time believing the offensive playcalling would ever be as stale and conservative as it was under Ron/Shula. 

All in all, with 2015 Cam on this Roster we're putting up points, and a lot of them. 

Defensively though, yikes... I don't known that a single person on this defense would start over that 2015 team except maybe Brown over Star, Woods over Harper and Horn over Peanut and those last 2 I'm not 100% on. 

All in all it probably looks a lot like Cams rookie season. 28+ points a game, setting the world on fire Offensively and breaking records but we can't stop a nose bleed on the other end and lose a bunch of close games 35-31. 

I'd still watch though and most importantly I'd have hope for the future.

We’d be competitive; in on every game. 7-9 wins. Defense wouldn’t be able to stop a nose bleed. There’d probably be a game in there where Cam is off with accuracy, and with the defense not stopping anyone, it would be a blowout. So, yea, one blowout, but he’d get us to 7-9 wins. 
 

With Bryce, we’ll win 0-1 game this year, and that one potential win won’t be because of Bryce.

This. If we had a promising young QB everyone would be frustrated about the abysmal D but the overall hope for the future would be completely different. Again, just like Cam's rookie year.

If he were just simply dropped in.

If he had been on the team the investment in offense would not have to have been so over the top. We'd have better on defense. 

The loading up the offense just went over and above. Hell when I was posting the tally of offense vs defense drafting, it didn't hit me upside the head until I saw it on the field.

As far as the defense, they have had very little time as a unit, pieces in and out every day almost. They will get better with reps together but with Derrrick out, that's tough.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
