Huddle question: Do they pay Cam next year?

[Jmac]

Cam deserves the contract...period. Get him the right scheme and quality players and he will shine. Glad nobody has jumped ship so far.

[Mr. Scot]

Unknown.

He's a franchise quarterback. I don't think anyone with a brain doubts that fact. But the teams that have thrown 100 million plus at quarterbacks haven't really seen the kind of returns they wanted.

My gut says a contract like Kaepernick and Stafford, but it's hard to say.

I like what I saw in that Saints game, and I'm not talking about his play in that game.  He took over and directed the offense.  I want the Panthers to give him that leeway all the time, and he will be better than Brady and Manning.  They should definitely lock him up this offseason in that light.

[London Loves Luke]

All of the bargain hunting the last 2 years has been to give cam his contract next year. We're in a great position that the majority of our talent is young and our QB is only 25 and beginning to take control of the team.

1. There are a lot of fixes this team needs to pay for. Bargain basement O-line, WRs and DBs will only go so far.

2. If you will remember, one of the biggest questions about the DG hire was how Cam is not a DG-type QB.

3. I still think it is in Cam's best interest to at least listen to offers to determine his market value because I have a suspicion the Panthers will try to low-ball him.

4. While you all speak of the franchise tag, I think it's more likely to be used on Luke...

Dave already answered that idiotic speculation early this year. He plainly stated that Newton is our franchise quarterback.

Why on earth would we franchise Luke instead of locking him up to a long term contract while MLB salaries are relatively low?

Cutler is a brat and Chicago really fuged up giving him that huge contract.

You had me until "and he will be better than Brady and Manning".

 

Cam is not and never will be in the same league as Brady and Manning (and that is OK)....we are talking about two of the best to EVER play the game and have done it for years.  Cam has NOT shown that he may be the best to ever play the game.

Where exactly did you acquire your crystal ball?

 

I'm looking into getting one as well, some input would be helpul. Thank you kind sir.

Neither has Andrew Luck, but that doesn't stop people from comparing Luck to the greats.  I think it says something to see yourself at that level.  I'm not going to compare Newton to Dalton, I want more than what Dalton brings to the table heehee.  I want Newton to be one of the greats if not more.

[brandontruesdale]

if this franchise was smart they would prioritize Cam and truly build around them. Players, scheme, everything.

If we dont someone else will and will be very sucessful in doing so. Mark my words

I agree we find another receiver a true slot receiver to help cam !

[heel31ok]

Cutler isn't in the same league as Cam.

 

 

The Panthers will pay Cam big guaranteed money. He is the franchise and DG isn't as stupid as some Panther fans.

 

but he is more stupid than others.

the biggest concern is do you give the huge money and then hope to find a coach with the system or do you try to find the right coach/system first?
