I wonder how Cutler's contract will affect Cam's

[top dawg]

That's a pretty low standard.

 

 

It's the sign of the times. Unlike home values, there will be no market correction when it comes to signing NFL players, particularly QBs in the new pass-happy era that's probably here to stay.

This is something I was thinking about today. If Cam makes a run to the Super Bowl or god forbid he wins it. His value will go stupid high even though his stats are average. Winning now could doom our franchise in the future, but I'm not too proud to take a Super Bowl ring and suck for 7 years.

 

Hopefully Cam is willing to work with us. I think 15 a year would be very fair. And let's get something out of the way, Jay Cutler has accomplished far more than Cam has.

[Darth Biscuit]

Speaking of Gabbert, just think what would have happened to us if we drafted him (on top of Clausen, at that).

 

Mass Suicide.

A price most of us would probably be willing to pay for a Super Bowl.

 

Cam also has to realize that if he takes all the money, they won't be able to ever get him any help.

 

 

 

I agree, Cutler got overpaid... but he does have potential and he doesn't suck as some of you so eloquently said...

 

There are 32 teams... there are not 32 elite QB's unfortunately.

[Gucci Mane]

Out of all the $100+ mil contracts, very few of them have seen it through to the end.

I'm sure Gett and Hurney know of Cam Newton's worth and would never low-ball him on anything. Cam is this Franchise and is largely the reason Richardson's franchise has shot through the roof.

 

Cam will get his due and no it will not be long and drawn out like Mole Face's negotiations.

:huh:

Cutler is garbage and he still got paid, god damn it I wish I could throw a ball 70 yards

[teeray]

I suspect Cam's will be in that same neighborhood

[Doc Holiday]

I wish other teams would stop paying elite contracts to guys with moderate to slightly above average results.

as clutch and as game changing as cam has been this season we will have to throw money at him already as it stands, I hate to think what we would have to pay if we make a run in the playoffs and and then win a Super Bowl, we may have to throw a near highest of all time at him just to keep him here.

Honestly I just do see it being possible to keep Hardy unless some players are willing to take huge pay cuts. Or go for B money instead of A money.

[intangiblejohnny]

Cutler really isn't too accomplised. He is 30-28 as a starter. As a matter of fact I think he has been completely underwhelming, considering the hype.

[charlottenian]

mark my words... Cam Newton- highest paid NFL Player in history when his contract is up, he won't settle nor should he for less. If you guys think he is going to get money on par with Cutler, your wrong he has WAY more upside then a 30 y/o QB who looks like he has Fetal Alcohol Syndrome. Cam is an icon, great QB and entertainer, he will be paid as such either by us or any team in need of a franchise QB

In terms of winning, Cutler has accomplished jack poo

 

In terms of stats, Cutler has accomplished jack poo

 

[teeray]

If you take the time to monetize what Cam brings to this franchise, not just with on field performance, but to the community and long term prospects of the franchise, Cam at 18 million dollars per year is a very good investment.

 

Winning is important, but just as important is expanding the fanbase, merchandise sales, etc.

It's a good thing Marty Hurney is not a gm anymore then
