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

This is something I was thinking about today. If Cam makes a run to the Super Bowl or god forbid he wins it. His value will go stupid high even though his stats are average. Winning now could doom our franchise in the future, but I'm not too proud to take a Super Bowl ring and suck for 7 years.

 

Hopefully Cam is willing to work with us. I think 15 a year would be very fair. And let's get something out of the way, Jay Cutler has accomplished far more than Cam has.

Speaking of Gabbert, just think what would have happened to us if we drafted him (on top of Clausen, at that).

 

Mass Suicide.

A price most of us would probably be willing to pay for a Super Bowl.

 

Cam also has to realize that if he takes all the money, they won't be able to ever get him any help.

 

 

 

I agree, Cutler got overpaid... but he does have potential and he doesn't suck as some of you so eloquently said...

 

There are 32 teams... there are not 32 elite QB's unfortunately.

I'm sure Gett and Hurney know of Cam Newton's worth and would never low-ball him on anything. Cam is this Franchise and is largely the reason Richardson's franchise has shot through the roof.

 

Cam will get his due and no it will not be long and drawn out like Mole Face's negotiations.

I wish other teams would stop paying elite contracts to guys with moderate to slightly above average results.

as clutch and as game changing as cam has been this season we will have to throw money at him already as it stands, I hate to think what we would have to pay if we make a run in the playoffs and and then win a Super Bowl, we may have to throw a near highest of all time at him just to keep him here.

Honestly I just do see it being possible to keep Hardy unless some players are willing to take huge pay cuts. Or go for B money instead of A money.

mark my words... Cam Newton- highest paid NFL Player in history when his contract is up, he won't settle nor should he for less. If you guys think he is going to get money on par with Cutler, your wrong he has WAY more upside then a 30 y/o QB who looks like he has Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Cam is an icon, great QB and entertainer, he will be paid as such either by us or any team in need of a franchise QB

In terms of winning, Cutler has accomplished jack poo

 

In terms of stats, Cutler has accomplished jack poo

If you take the time to monetize what Cam brings to this franchise, not just with on field performance, but to the community and long term prospects of the franchise, Cam at 18 million dollars per year is a very good investment.

 

Winning is important, but just as important is expanding the fanbase, merchandise sales, etc.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.

      If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
