Whats the deal with Cam charging for Autographs today?

Recommended Posts

should he have broken his contract so that we'd see "diva second year quarterback cam newton refuses to honor autograph session agreement" in the headlines?

No one would have crucified him for refusing to do any of these gigs if he did it because of principles. In fact, it probably would have endeared him to his fans even more.

People need to stop insinuating that people are overreacting when there is no overreaction...just a little distaste, which should be totally understandable.

I have read most of the responses here and wow most of you have no idea what the hell your talking about.

1st. Sports memorabilia is a multi million dollar business all NFL players sign stickers and football cards for large sums of money and they do this before they ever play a down in the NFL or attend a training camp.

2nd, Cam didn't invent this concept he is not the 1st nor will he be the last NFL player at any year of experience to have a signing that charges money.

3rd. WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!! The HATE ON CAM FOR THIS???? SERIOUSLY???? WTF?!!! and why are so many people here jealous of people that can afford these autos that you have to talk sh#t about them? Sorry you cant afford it so don't hate on the ones that can, It's my money.

This is what it will look like so many players in the NFL has done this one time or another....

America was fuged up in so many ways when I was coming up, but, then again, it was better in so many ways than it is today.

Damn if I'd pay him to sign anything for me. I like him and glad that he's the quarterback for our team but outside of that he's just another man to me. As long as he wears a Panther uniform...I'll cheer for him for free.

IMG probably wouldn't have been too happy with the situation seeing as to how they'd be getting stiffed out of several thousand dollars of revenue. breach of contract is a serious thing.

Yes, break a contract....................... don't charge for your sig.

then get sued for it and lose in court or pay out for the lost revenue depending on whether his contract has an event cancellation clause. also ignore the countless other athletes who sign on with memorabilia companies and appear at similar events.

why do people think athletes owe them warm fuzzies? he's signed a trillion free autographs. if he ducked out because the winds of public perception kind of gently blew against him then that's no more honorable than just doing the damn thing in the first place.

every legendary QB in the last 20 years has done a private signings that you have to pay a fee for hell Brett Favre does it on his own and has his own C.O.A hologram.

Certificate of Authenticity.

You can see how young our team and fan base is when they get upset over something silly like this other teams and fans have been doing this forever. I hope this thread disappears cause this is embarrassing.

you can just tell that this fanbase isn't used to having an A-list star player. steve smith is the closest we've ever come and even then wide receiver is hardly the biggest "face time" position around. maybe julius peppers as well on a good day but he literally left town partly because he didn't like that.

there was a thread a while back where a few people were going apeshit because cam was making a paid appearance at a club opening. granted that dumbass troll with the paula deen gimmick that's thankfully banned now created it but there were several people in an outright moral panic.

Let's take that $175 for a signed jersey. If you just randomly got a jersey signed by somebody and then wanted to get some form of official certification for that signature, then you're looking at about $100 for the jersey (according to the nfl.com shop for a well known player) and then another $25-50 for certification. So for an extra $50 or so, you get the garauntee of the autograph and instant certification of it's authenticity, plus a meet and greet and possible photo-op with the player.

Seems like a pretty good deal to me.

    • If Reich or Fitterer were still around I think the need to extend Young because of what he cost would be stronger.  And yeah Morgan was Fit's right hand when the call was made but there an equal chance that Dan will see it as a chance to move on from Fit and shake off that stink. Holding out some hope that 3 years and clear eyes will allow for an honest appraisal that Young just aint the guy
    • As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
