Haha, or it'd just get intercepted along the way. If Pickles started working at Applebee's I think I might start going just for the possibility of free food.

Yeah, I would be more worried about my order being intercepted by another table. And if was crowded and he sensed people closing in (by which I mean being 5 yards away), he would probably just crumple up on the floor hugging the tray.

Cam Newton gave a speech and answered questions at the Big Atlantic Classic Tip-Off Banquet on Sunday (the one where RG3 couldn't make it). And while he was there, so was The Register Herald to interview him or summarize it.

In the article, Cam discussed the Kalil SB prediction/Ad, and the effect it had on the team. The Panthers not making the playoffs in 2012. The current elite "Old Guard" vs the young, potentially elite "New Guard" QB's (I know that's a hot topic here lately); his views on the Panthers, as well as a Super Bowl prediction, and why.

The article also mentions his interaction with the crowd; Stating he sang Happy Birthday to a fan (I'm guessing it was a female one, or little kid, otherwise that would be kinda awkward, don't ya think)? He allegedly signed upwards of 1000 autographs (Yikes/Good Grief!)--before and after the event, and answered about 30 audience questions.

He even caught a fans pass. Wow! They got their moneys worth for sure. I hope Cam did to?.... Just kidding. LOL.

Here is an excerpt when asked about the Old guard Elite QB's, such as Brady, Manning. Brees. Rogers, etc., vs the potential New Guard Elite QB's in himself, RG3, Wilson, Luck and Kaepernick:

I like that answer. And notice how complimentary, thoughtful and inclusive Cam is, when discussing other players? However, he somehow has a reputation--by some for being a selfish, inconsiderate, narcissist-type thug. SMH.

Cam also had a Q & A session after his talk. Here's one of the exchanges:

Before others freak out: Telling a Carolina fan this after a paid dinner, doesn't equate to a Kalil type prediction. LOL.

I'm too lazy at the moment to give further highlights or insight. It's a decent article, if it's just to hear Cam's Post Season comments on the Panthers and the NFL (instead of viewing his photo's by stalkers, I meant Auburn classmates posted on the Internet), while waiting for the Super Baugh, finally, and the draft in April. Here's the link.

Actually, no one really ever said that about Cam outside of those in the media who set out to tear down imae during the draft. Those quotes came directly from Nolan and the so called "unnamed sources," and folks who act like Cam owes them something.

BTW, thanks for the write up.

      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.
