The football fan always forgets the $$$.

This I a job for these guys. They have a handful of yrs to make as much as possible.

If I was Cam I'd tell Getts, I'd want to be the highest paid guy.

If I were Getts I'd push a Kapernick deal.

Then they debate.

Then a deal is signed.

This hand wringing aboUT something you all have zero control over is pointless.

I agree with the formula. I just want more than two 'stars'.

I want a star left tackle and a solid pass rusher (plus at least decent players along both sides of the line), a receiver teams have to respect, at least one decent cover corner, a reliable tight end, a running back who can get the tough yards., a hard hitting safety, and maybe a few other things if I think about it longer.

Yeah, that's asking a lot, but it has been done, and by more than one team.

Hey I want to my urine to turn things into gold, but none of us is pooping on a gold throne Tonight

I'd argue a couple of those players are already here or can be found sooner rather than later.

Which is one thing I like about our current roster. I do feel we have at least some of those elements already.

Keeping them, while filling in the spots we don't have though, and paying big contracts to the established stars? That's a balancing act a high wire artist would balk at.

Mind you, it's at least a decent problem to have. Better than past offseasons have seen.

We have all of that now except for the left tackle and the hard hitting safety

I think cam just needs to throw his number out there. how much do you want to make over the next 10 years... 160 million.? done. 16 a year..you get hurt/can't play or your performance falls off , your cut.. sign the line.

it doesn't have to be that complicated. we've paid guys more for less

1. The cap is jumping, and will continue to jump. Say by 2020, it very well could be up 15-20 million (if not more) than what it is now.

2. EVERY franchise QB in the league from here out, will be making 20 million plus. They used to make a million, then someone out did someone and it became 5, then 7, then 10...you get the picture. Same thing is playing out here. 5 years from now, QBs going rates very well may be 25-30, not 20-25.

3. Cam is getting paid, and frankly if he doesn't, we're fuged (for a few years at least). Unless you're cool with hitting the jackpot again in the draft (not likely), or signing a Jay Cutler type guy for 18-20 million instead of Cam at 23-25. I'm not. Pay the man.

You do realize that the "salary cap will increase big in the next few years" is exactly the philosophy that Hurney used and that has bitten us in the ass now for years.

      Panthers need to move on from Young ASAP

      By strato · Posted

      38 seconds in tells me he is full of poo and is spinning for clicks. You know how they say in court, where if they lie once you can assume they are lying always?  To me Riddick is doing a pretty spiteful thing I think, by putting those words in someone's mouth. Unless he knows that is true. Which I doubt. An honest person would not have said that to Tepper, so he basically assaulting Canales. It is not Canales' fault that Young will not adhere to the the coaching he was obviously given. And of course I am referring to that Buffalo series and the very noticeable footwork change. Evidence that he had the opportunity to be a better player but reverted to his wonky ass 'techniques'. Because it is fuging hard not to. But that is still on Young for not getting that done. And unless he gets it done he is just a fraud. A wannabe NFL quarterback, playing at it. I mean NFL quarterbacks are kicking his ass, even the rookies.  If he works to change this steadily he may be able to get it ingrained in a couple more months. That is as optimistic as I can be for him.  Riddick though, I don't don't listen to sports talk any more except what youtube clips I like but I used to think pretty highly of him. This is pretty sad, to see this scapegoating.  I can put words into Canales mouth too: "Mr Tepper, I have a pretty good feel for working with these guys, and have had some luck with it. You know Baker pretty well. That's my work with him.  But I have to be honest, I'm not sure i can promise I can fix Bryce. He has many challenges. There are things we can do to help but so much of it is up to him. If he is willing to listen and work, I am sure we can make him a better QB. How good will be up to him."   blah blah blah blah

      Tepper finally bringing a GOAT to BOA

      Can they play QB? And some stuff from Ride the Lightning, too?

      When dementia gripped my grandmother (and eventually took her), we each spent time with her and would try to correct her to what was reality and what wasn't. It was very tough on my Dad who she lived with for as long as they could care for her.  It seemed like she had become detached from her own timeline and would slide up and down it wildly. As my Dad said, "somedays I'm me to her, somedays I'm my Dad, somedays I'm her father, somedays I'm just the guy who works here. I tried correcting her but it just upset her. I found out that the best thing is to just not correct her and let her live out where ever and whenever she is."  And I'm not going to lie, it gets tough and eventually they leave their own timeline and it becomes unmanageable. Hold on to yourself and the ones you love through it all. Prayers for you and yours, man.
