Are we willing to pay 35 million per year for Cam?

Andrew Luck missed 26 of 41 games over the course of 2.5 seasons.

If Cam's injury is "similar" to Luck's the Panthers have a very very long road ahead.

Read this article, the deja vu is amazing:  http://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/19179526/andrew-luck-indianapolis-colts-admits-shoulder-initially-injured-vs-tennessee-titans-2015

The injury is similar but there plans or rehab have been very different. Luck completely did not play for a long amount of time where as cam has played through good or bad his injury. The time table on lucks healing and cams healing can’t be compared.

yes. I wish the salary cap was larger.

We? This ain't our money lol, let the league overpay QBs who may or may not be "worth" it. That's capitalism

I don't think Russell has every been significantly injured. His throwing shoulder is pristine. He has been to two Super Bowls and won one of them. He is consistently one of the top 3-4 throwers in the league every year AND has mobility. He deserves 35mil. 

There is no way I would pay Cam 35mil/year. But that is what he's going to command. If he plays well enough this year and stays healthy then I can see resigning him but the deal would be short and would include some significant language to protect the team against injury. No matter what....draft a solid QB this year. Let him learn for 1-2 years and lean on the defense to win championships.

Jesus Christ is not worth 35 million a year pulling off miracles on the field.....let alone any athlete..........

If he comes out this season, and his shoulder holds up quite well. Has a great season, then yes. Why not? I want Cam to spend his entire career here. My opinion....
