They are saying he is underpaid. Not overpaid. The title of this thread is just flat out wrong.

It's already a bargain. Look at the kind of money kirk cousins got recently.

Agree with the article that Cam is underpaid relative to his peers at the position.

Much like the Steve Avery case.

Cam is not just getting paid as a quarterback but has millions in endorsements as well. He is doing pretty damn well for a guy who has yet to win a Superbowl and has a 3-3 record in the playoffs.

His second contract, Cam's, is going to be the biggest ever for a QB when he signs it 

Yes indeed but having a vise grip for the next five years PLUS the threat/tool of the tag in subsequent years will bring about an early extension and yet another win/win for Cam and the Cats.

Are you implying that Cam is OVERpaid?! If so, you must be watching a different QB than me.

Lol I wonder if Panthers55 will make the same argument for all the QB's in the league who haven't won a superbowl and especially Luck and the contract that he's going to get. If you just paid a QB on playoff and superbowl wins, then most QB's are overpaid.

You're talking about the reigning MVP who put the offense on his back and MADE it the highest scoring offense in the league.

You're talking about the QB who earned the 15th (FIFTEENTH) highest amount last year.

Tell me you think there was just a single QB who earned their paycheck more than Cam earned his and I'll tell you you're flat out wrong. I don't care if it's an opinion, it's wrong.

Is this topic salvageable it's current state? I'm not sure so I'll post a dickbutt.
