Bold prediction: If Cam Newton is not signed to an extension in the offseason prior to the start of 2019 play he’ll walk, as an unrestricted free agent, at the conclusion of his contract at the end of the 2020 season, regardless of how well he plays. 

I’ve been seeing a lot of fans comparing Andrew Lucks sitting of the 2017 season, how he played this year and how we should do the same thing with Cam. 

If you think that’s the right approach, you need to understand how these situations are TOTALLY different. 

Andrew Luck had been signed to an extension for 6 years in June of 2016. That contract only had $47 million in guarantees compared against a full value of $140 million. Andrew Luck is a far more mechanically sound QB than Cam ever was or will be. He admitted he’d played in 2015 and that his shoulder wasn’t what it should have been. One could look at that situation that Luck lied to get paid. Fortunately for the Colts it worked out for them. I don’t think we get so lucky. 

There is a reality that 2019 is a serious year for him with us. He would represent $6.5 million in dead cap space if he were to be cut after June 1 and $2.5 million in dead cap space in 2020. Making that move frees up $16.7 and $19.1 respectively in net salary cap space made available. 

Our team’s ownership would have to come to the conclusion at some point in the not too distant future that Cam Newton is going to heal AND that his shoulder is sound enough to offer an extension of 4-5 years thereby making it worthwhile for Cam to sign said offer. 

2019 and Cam Newton are on a collision course.

      Crazy stat

      By Luuuuuuuuuuke59 · Posted

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By 45catfan · Posted

      This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
