Legitimate question that may or may not deserve its own thread, but I'm not that guy...

Has any player had the kind of season Cam has had this year AFTER signing their big money contract?

Most guys ball out in a contract year and get paid. And it's generally accepted that in the NFL you get a contract for what you've done, not what you're going to do. I'm drunk with family in town for the holidays and can't recall, has anyone signed a blockbuster deal and then gone on to have an MVP type season after the fact?

Thats gotta be rare because I can't think of any off the top of my head. 

I've never looked at that specifically but I know a 20mil dollar QB has never won the Superbowl. Peyton has had great years, Brees has had some good years, but the overall team couldn't win with the massive cap hit. Flacco obviously hasn't gone well in Baltimore. 

I do know one guy that has played well after signing a big contract....Luke Kuechly.

Bet the lone vote for Brady was from the NE general manager.

Haha!

And you may not know every college or NFL player better than NFL GM's. However, you may know your college or pro team-such as The Panthers, and it's particular players-more so than an NFL GM (just like national media) for articles like this.

It's not like these guys have watched every Cam Newton game before doing this article. But you have, article or not!

It's probably one of the GMs who spend a lot in free agency on players who used to be really good but are now on the down slide from their peak.

As a matter of fact, I was.

I am betting that you barely scraped by.

Let's ask Colin Kaepernick!

He should know something about that recently (cough, cough)!

Belichick runs things in NE, so I doubt it's him. Would also bet they didn't poll Gettleman either.

My first thought was it's probably an AFC East guy who's used to seeing Brady beat his team.

He did have a poor start to the season (and was given all the blame for holding on to the ball too long while scurrying out the pocket). So he's a good example. But maybe not the best example.

Honestly any person who is paid to analyze football that doesn't think Cam is the MVP right now needs to be fired.

 

The man has 40 total tds, leading the #1 offense in football, and is 14-0 with Ted Ginn as his #1 receiver. Ted fuging Ginn.

Exactly. People do not realize that our receivers won't start on other teams. He made those around him better. This is Michael Jordan, Lebron James status
