Well he already said he's that lion so maybe we should look into a trade with Detroit.

/sarcasm

In reality it's just fun to watch him play the game and hopefully he'll continue to do so and excel for my favorite team.

Cam Newton is guaranteed to be here for five years minimum barring something drastic, like a massive decline in play or an injury. Remember, it was a four year contract with the option to take a fifth. Then if he refused to stay (which won't happen, I guarantee it), we'd just franchise him the next two years. By that time, he'd probably just give up and re-sign with us.

But I seriously don't see why people think Newton is that type of a guy. Besides, franchise QBs rarely hit the market. JR will do whatever it takes to keep him.

Indy is only a well known team because of Manning. The Saints are (were) a constant national media darling because of Brees. If you are a huge NFL star and have your own brand, it doesn't matter really what team you play for, everyone will know you.

You guys are talking about him leaving?

“[i absolutely see myself finishing my career with the Panthers]. Absolutely. Right before I left [for the Pro Bowl and Indianapolis] I sat down and had a talk with Jerry Richardson, and I had a warmth in my heart that I would be able to call Carolina home for years to come, and that my home will always be in Charlotte. My motto is to [do everything I can to help make the Panthers an elite team].”

Never saw this. Now I'm happy again. Forget everything else I posted.

As weird as it sounds, Matt Ryan could be the key in Cam sticking around. If the Falcons are happy with him, Cam can't go to his hometown team.

That said, I don't see Cam leaving and think we will bend over backwards as an organization to help him. The Cavs never really got LeBron help...and LeBron is something that Cam is not. A beyotch.

They tried really hard to keep him happy. They just had no idea what they were doing.

"Hey Lebron, how would you like us to sign Larry Hughes and Drew Gooden to huge deals? Awesome"

"It's cool. We got a point guard from the Bucks. The dynasty starts now."

"Raise your hand if you want some sweet, sweet Wally Szczerbiak action?"

      Panthers bring back TE Feleipe Franks

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I'm one of the ones that won't let it go because it didn't solve the problem. We didn't address the center position which was a huge mistake. We were in position to easily take 2 or the top IOL. Instead of drafting JPJ over XL or Frazier over Brooks, we relied on an oft injured guard to center conversion and lo and behold, it failed as predicted. XL looks like a 1 year college wonder and an injured Brooks hasn't even surpassed Eric Shelton.  Bryce was also benched for poor performance, so the issue that many claimed was solely bad oline play wasn't. It didn't fix him bailing out of tight pockets because of being unable to see the field or him refusing to work on his atrocious footwork. Then there's the $$$. Lewis got a good guard payday. Hunt got a tackle payday. Pay tackles, draft guards, if you can.  I have no issues addressing problems through FA. It was not addressing C at all that's been the issue and still has been. Ryan Kalil was the anchor of our offensive line. We had years of solid center play and it showed. Now we're still piecemealing the center position with an expensive oline and it's still a shitshow. Why? Because the player responsible for what happens on the line presnap has little to no experience doing it. Spending on a center, whether it be through draft or FA is not bad. It's not a position that can have anyone just thrown in with no drop off in performance. A great center lifts the play of the guards on each side.  I don't like how we've built the line because we've ignored the hinge pin that everyone counts on every play. And the reality of the situation is, it didn't solve the actual problems with Bryce because those have nothing to do with the oline.

      Haha!!! That's true. Also carry Tomahawks, ballistic missiles, fighter jets, VSTOL aircraft, etc., but none of them clog up the crappers.
