So you're saying the tanking will take care of itself

What I'm saying is where we're going, we won't need to tank.

The only decision you HAVE to make this offseason is "Is Cam on the roster worth 20M in cap space?" If it is, you let me play out the last season of his contract and make a decision on the following offseason.

Delhomme still had time left on his existing deal when he got his "thank you" contract.

Is this even 100% confirmed?

It looks to me like one person posted it, and a bunch of people latched on.

Halloween was yesterday. I shouldn't have to deal with such scary thoughts today.

Edit to add: Panther's are foolish if they extend Cam after he misses 14 games in 2019.

Cam Newton and KK out. The team went 4-1 so I don't see how coaches are being blamed here.

The Panthers have built one of the better coaching staffs on paper at least in the NFL, collegiate of sorts. With such a staff bringing in young talented coordinators learning under Rivera, Norv, Perry. Travell Wharton and Scott Turner come to mind.

This is an opportunity to continue a culture. This team despite what we say here, has enjoyed great success in the NFL through the years. You don't achieve that being hasty. Change?!? To what? To who? This is still the Panthers golden age.

Very frustrating. Cam might end up having surgery like a suspected weeks ago, and that would lead us to another lost season. Damn. What's worse is the uncertainty if Cam will ever be able to play football at a high level again. And we need to take a look at 1st round QBs which also sucks.

Rapaport is reporting it so it's pretty reliable.

Our medical staff is garbage

Cam video after the injury clearly said he did the procedure on his shoulder that was supposed to be a temporary fix, didn't work, then had to go get a permanent fix. Why? I didn't care about nothing he said after that. Why the hell didn't he get the permanent fix, sit out as long as possible in 2017.

Not about being a good coach, it’s about shelf life. Just guessing here but, @Mr. Scot might know more but like 3% of coaches actually last a decade or longer with the same team. And the ones that do are the greats and have generally won at least ONE super bowl.

In fact, I bet there are very few head coaches that have lasted 10+ years with the same team without a super bowl win. Sometimes it’s just time to move on.

This is how this plays out.  Cam is done for the year.  Panthers keep him and RR for next year.  They make playoffs, Cam is given all the money in his new contract, RR is extended, we continue down this trail of mediocrity until Cam actually starts having limbs fall off.

and if you are Cam?   Cam got leverage to not even play in that scenario as well. 

"not even play" as in retire or just hold out? 

I'll address the hold out scenario, because if he retires it's all moot. He'd have to report by Week 10 to get credit for an accrued season, and I'd have to think missing the last 14 games of 2019 and the first 10 or more of 2020 might hurt his chances for a big payday in free agency.

I don't even know where to start with this.

Could be a part of his standard rehab.

Zero chance of this.

Anderson is the best foot/ankle guy in the world (used to be right over on Vail Ave. here in CLT until abt a year ago)....

....you don't bring him in after 7 weeks as part of a standard rehab program.

I feel bad for Cam. 

He appeared very subdued on the sidelines of 49'ers game....think he knew there was a problem and realized he wasn't going to be able to get in there with his boys to help out any time soon.
