Panthers' Cam Newton Is Ready To 'embrace Charlotte'

[SCP]

we can franchise him to the end of eternity.

I think the new Cba limits the franchise to 2 years max.

[Herbert The Love Bug]

He gone after year 4

He's not the type. I think he loves Charlotte and the organization and I have no doubt that Mr. Richardson will give him the biggest contract in the history of the NFL if need be.

[Edley]

Well he already said he's that lion so maybe we should look into a trade with Detroit.

/sarcasm

In reality it's just fun to watch him play the game and hopefully he'll continue to do so and excel for my favorite team.

Cam Newton is guaranteed to be here for five years minimum barring something drastic, like a massive decline in play or an injury. Remember, it was a four year contract with the option to take a fifth. Then if he refused to stay (which won't happen, I guarantee it), we'd just franchise him the next two years. By that time, he'd probably just give up and re-sign with us.

But I seriously don't see why people think Newton is that type of a guy. Besides, franchise QBs rarely hit the market. JR will do whatever it takes to keep him.

Indy is only a well known team because of Manning. The Saints are (were) a constant national media darling because of Brees. If you are a huge NFL star and have your own brand, it doesn't matter really what team you play for, everyone will know you.

There's just too much to like about our boy

You guys are talking about him leaving?

“[i absolutely see myself finishing my career with the Panthers]. Absolutely. Right before I left [for the Pro Bowl and Indianapolis] I sat down and had a talk with Jerry Richardson, and I had a warmth in my heart that I would be able to call Carolina home for years to come, and that my home will always be in Charlotte. My motto is to [do everything I can to help make the Panthers an elite team].”

[Simple and Plain]

Name the big FA QBs that left the team that drafted them.

Never saw this. Now I'm happy again. Forget everything else I posted.

You could have at least pie'd me, or given the courtesy of a GD reach around.

Keep Cam. Trade the fanbase.

Nothing annoys me more than when a "fan" still questions his character and calls him a thug. I hear it more often than I like. Mostly butthurt SEC fans.

[Stroupe-a-loop]

I'll maybe consider worrying about Cam leaving in 3 years in 3 years. Dudes here now. Have a good time with it.

If he wants to embrace Charlotte, he needs to roll out a hilarious Bojangles commercial. It's catnip for this populace.

As weird as it sounds, Matt Ryan could be the key in Cam sticking around. If the Falcons are happy with him, Cam can't go to his hometown team.

That said, I don't see Cam leaving and think we will bend over backwards as an organization to help him. The Cavs never really got LeBron help...and LeBron is something that Cam is not. A beyotch.

They tried really hard to keep him happy. They just had no idea what they were doing.

"Hey Lebron, how would you like us to sign Larry Hughes and Drew Gooden to huge deals? Awesome"

"It's cool. We got a point guard from the Bucks. The dynasty starts now."

"Raise your hand if you want some sweet, sweet Wally Szczerbiak action?"
