Rhule on Cam

[DubE_4MR]

Rhule on Baylor "I do not plan on leaving".

 

I'll be happy when I hear talks of trying to reach a contract extension.

Two things:

7-8 wins and we have to pay Cam out the butt.  Tepper already said the big qb contract is a no no (in so many words)

 

Nobody is saying a top 5 pick makes us good instantly but its a part of the process that makes us good eventually. 

 

Personally I think there is no way Cam is rolling out there on a prove it type one year deal especially with him coming off the injuries.  I guess we shall see in the next month or so. 

He may not. But if Cam doesn’t play for us next year I’d much rather trade McCaffrey to start the rebuilding process. But that’s a separate discussion I don’t wanna get into here. Cam isn’t gonna get a first round draft pick. Like your boy Gross said, we might get a 3rd.

I agree with all of that.

What’s he supposed to say?

”We’ll see...”?

I’m surprised he didn’t say that, to be honest. The organization has gone out of their way to manage expectations on this. Of course, I can’t verify that this even happened. I have no reason to believe the guy made it up. But, sometimes you can’t put too much stock into these things.

The RumGone makes perfect sense except for 1 reason .  If some team makes an insane offer for Cam , you have to take a hard look on keeping him .  I'm in the keeping Cam camp .  He is the face of the team and fans will fill the stands just to see how he does . He is also does a lot for the Charlotte area .

I wouldn’t read too much into this, as exciting as it may be. Of course the plan is to win a SB with the QB you’ve got. Plans can change very quickly. I’m not convinced Cam is gone like many are (Jeremy) but I don’t think this comment means much either way. Still 50/50 to me whether he stays or not. 
 

In my opinion the best option for the team is to keep him this year without extending him and see if he can stay healthy and play at a high level. If he does you pay him next offseason and we’re in good shape. If not, you move on after the season and likely get a top QB in the draft. 
Next best option if Cam refused to play without an extension is to trade him for a late first (Vegas makes sense) or something else of value. But don’t give him away for peanuts. Better off keeping him on the roster inactive and getting a comp pick than just giving him away for free. The team has the leverage here.

3 things were adressed in that statement

1. He plans to not only have Cam here this season but to extend him.

2.  He is looking to turn this team around fast.

3.  We are not picking a QB in the first round of the draft.

Nobody wants healthy badass Cam gone. There are people who want injury-riddled, shell of his former self Cam gone, which is fair and reasonable.

Plenty want him gone no matter what

Those people aren't real fans. Cam is one of the best things to ever happen to the Panthers. If he's healthy there are few better QB's in the NFL. If he can't ever be healthy again, I understand why they would part ways with him.

One thing is certain, Cam on the field sells tickets. Tepper is going to have a harder time selling tickets for this sorry team than in the past two seasons he's been the owner. He might be wise to keep Cam to fill the stadium regardless if he can win games or not.

I don’t want Cam to be in any other uniform.  It’s not my decision. He is an employee under contract to the owners and management.

Serious doubt any team is gonna make an insane offer on a qb who was injured the past two seasons. Could be wrong but it’s not likely.
