So after the terrible reporting over at espn from David Newton about Charles Johnson I Figured I would share this gem. While talking about Cam's new contract it is mentioned how Cam has a losing record and asked how difficult it is to give a 100 million dollar contract to someone who hasn't won a playoff game. http://www.nfl.com/videos/carolina-panthers/0ap3000000495325/Cam-Newton-signs-five-year-contract-extension

Yeah that was brought up the day of the contract.  Its laughable how little they care for the small markets, like we dont even make up a healthy percentage points of revenue.  Our team is worth 1 Billion right?  With a B?  Thought so.  Suck it h8ters...

Andrew Luck has beaten Alex Smith, and Andy Dalton, do those really count? Some people just can't accept Cam is a good qb I guess. Not to mention Cam has a better passer rating than Luck in the playoffs, ugh.

​You forgot he beat Manning, or did you just not know?

When it's a large market team they know the facts down to the waterboy's grandmother. When it comes to the Panthers they don't even know the facts about Cam fuging Newton. This has been going on since the teams inception. They don't know much about our team, don't watch our games, and don't need to write a decent article to keep their jobs because our team doesn't matter to their advertisers.

​Come on, man. Don't use that argument. People already say "Cam beat Ryan Lindley, does that really count?"

I think his point was that they say that about Cam, so you should point the same standard at Luck.

​I dont know about that, Dalton, Smith and Manning have all been to the pro bowl at least. Lindley may never start a game again. And did he leave out Manning intentionally to try to make the point seem stronger?

Anywho, we know it's a team game and QB vs QB hardly is a decent measurable.

Lol Luck throws like 5 picks to put the Colts in a 21 point deficit, then gets all the kudos for digging himself out of it. It's like spilling wine on a rug then patting yourself on the back for getting it out without leaving a stain. Yeah nice job there fuzzy nuts.

​That was a great comeback whether you want to discredit it or not..He deserves kudos for what he did in that game.  Its like the old saying..Its not how many times you get knocked down, but how many times you get back up.  Its not easy to dig yourself out of a hole like that.

Maybe he did spill wine on the rug (everyone has bad days), but he was able to wash out a stain that most others couldnt have.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
