I wonder how Cutler's contract will affect Cam's

I just heard on Sports Nation that Cutler got $50 mil guaranteed with a 7 year, $18 mil per year contract. Cutler is 30, and people are still talking about his talent and potential. You'd think that he was Cam's age the way that they talk about his perceived upside, but he has been around the block, and, at least in my mind, hasn't played as well as Cam, considering that he has been in the league for so many more years. That being said, I think that Cam is going to be offered a similar contract (perhaps for a shorter span, say 5 years), because Cam's game has proven to be just as viable's as Cutler's (in reference to being a franchise QB).

The last few years seem to show that teams are increasingly willing to move on from quarterbacks (see Gabbert, Blaine; Weeden, Brandon; Ponder, Christian; etc.) that suck - partially due to the new rookie contracts - and more willing to handsomely reward the ones that aren't elite but well, at least they don't suck (Flacco, Cutler, Ryan, Romo, etc.). We can argue the merits of individual contracts and perceived value of individual players, but at the end of the day, Cam Newton is getting a big fat contract cause he doesn't suck. You don't have to be Manning, Brady, or Brees to get a monster contract. You just have to not be Blaine Gabbert.

      Damning indictment of Bryce Young

      Dalton is 1-5 as a starter. I wouldn't hold my breath.

      what does bryce young excel at

      That last thing is a bad trend. It has happened in three different seasons now. If it isn’t a trend, is it a tendency? Words…. What I mean is following a successful outing (and they are rare or scarce) with a stretch of bad outings.  The slow starts individually are slow starts. Looked at as continuations of the string that started game 1 2023, there is a pattern that may or may not be predictive.  The first game people said that he turned a corner, Green Bay 2023, was followed by those two shutouts to end the season.  Then continued with the two horrific outings that had AT throwing his helmet and Canales benching him. That’s 4 straight after 1 good.  The next one I would give him high credit for is the Atlanta game. One of his two best IMO.  He followed that with this year’s opening stinkers putting the team in a big hole.  It is so up, then back down.  His other best game was vs Dallas this year, I think the best he has played start to finish, he followed with an uninspiring performance against the Jets. I was half waiting on him to give that one away more than go win it, which was just a feeling, but then he got hurt. And here we are.  Just waiting for him to prove something if he can. He is going to have his shot the second half of the year. So we will see.

      Before the Penix pick six, the panthers had run 8 plays for seven yards while up 10-0. That includes a 5 play, 13 yard drive out of halftime where Bryce threw incomplete on third down. In that exactly what canales wanted?
