That has nothing to do with the throws that he made today though :confused:

This is the type of stuff that is misleading that goes in the "Positive Newton" threads

Did you watch the workouts? If you did, you would know that they were all pretty impressed with Cam's deep throws.

I swear, some of you people can make anything in to a negative. I'm just so glad that I have the NFL Network and can watch this stuff myself for a change, because the spin that people are putting on this workout is really astonishing. That kid was putting the deep balls right where he was supposed to put them. It was up to the receivers to be there to catch the ball. There is no doubt in my mind that, once he works with his new WR's that they will develop a chemistry very quickly.

I don't get the idea of messing up the pick setting back the franchise years. It sets us back one year. Then we'd pick Luck.

No guarantees we can finish dead last again (assuming there's a season) and even so, do you wanna? And assuming you do, he has yet another year of eligibilty at Stanford, and how embarassing would it be if he went back to school again, and we were left jilted, again, at the altar. F*ck Luck, his ship has sailed.

Yeah, I actually didn't see him make a really bad throw. Timing may have been off, and in a couple of cases it looked to me like he got a little too much air under them, but every throw was right to the spot, and quite a few were perfect.

I saw his interview with the NFL network post workout and I don't didn't think he came across as demeaning to his targets at all, he just basically just admitted he wasn't in synch, timing routes are difficult and that he has alot of work to do in that area. He also said he his comments the past week were a reality check and he realizes "the NFL doesn't need you".

Not saying saying I want the Panthers to draft him, but I thought he came across well and this article just seems to be aimed at stirring crap.

Worth repeating.

      In my opinion Fitterer was probably right about not paying McCaffrey. Now not wanting to "pay RBs" in my opinion isn't something you want to set in stone, to me it all comes down to the individual.

      Scourton isn't signed (& apparently it's a thing)

      Maybe I'm just not understanding, but everywhere that I have read says that signing bonuses go against the cap prorated by as much as five years. The following example uses Andrew Luck's rookie contract as an example. "Take Andrew Luck, the first overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft. Luck signed a four-year contract with the Colts worth $22.1 million and included a $14.5 million signing bonus. Rather than a $14.5 million cap hit in 2012, the Colts spread out his signing bonus over the life of his contract. The hit against the cap would be $3.625 million per year over four years instead of a direct cap hit of $14.5 million directly in 2012. This gave the Colts more leverage and cap flexibility in signing other players." https://www.the33rdteam.com/nfl-signing-bonuses-explained/ I don't know why some of you think that signing bonuses aren't counted against the cap over the length of the contract, but whatever.   "The bonus with a signing is usually the most garish aspect of a rookie contract. Bonus is the immediate cash players receive when they ink a deal. It factors into the cap, but only for the whole contract duration, in terms of salary cap calculations. In the case of Bryce Young’s $24.6 million signing bonus, that’s prorated to approximately $6.15 million per season over a four-year deal. This format allows teams to handle the cap and provides rookies with some short-term fiscal stability, which is important given the high injury risk in this league." https://collegefootballnetwork.com/how-rookie-contracts-work-in-the-nfl/ I understand how signing bonuses can be a useful tool in order to manage the cap, and as one of the article suggests, signing bonuses may become important if you have a tight cap, but the bill is always going to come due. I'm not necessarily referring to you Tuka, but it seems to me that others simply don't want to understand that fact which is why they're reacting to what I'm saying negatively. How odd. In any event, I have a better general understanding of why signing bonuses are used now, and it's generally to fit salaries under the cap. Surely players, whether they be rookies or not, love a signing bonus because they get a good portion of their money up front. This in turn gives them more security and probably amounts to tax benefits as well. I also understand why teams would not want to use signing bonuses, particularly for players or draftees who have a higher probability of being gone before a contract even ends.
