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.

 

That certainly couldn't be because one quarterback is 30, and the other is only 24, no?

 

Not sure what you're getting at with the rest of your post. So because his value will be high, we should let him walk?

 

The market value for franchise quarterbacks was going skyward well before Jay Cutler signed his recent contract.

The last few years seem to show that teams are increasingly willing to move on from quarterbacks (see Gabbert, Blaine; Weeden, Brandon; Ponder, Christian; etc.) that suck - partially due to the new rookie contracts - and more willing to handsomely reward the ones that aren't elite but well, at least they don't suck (Flacco, Cutler, Ryan, Romo, etc.). We can argue the merits of individual contracts and perceived value of individual players, but at the end of the day, Cam Newton is getting a big fat contract cause he doesn't suck. You don't have to be Manning, Brady, or Brees to get a monster contract. You just have to not be Blaine Gabbert.

 

Romo will ALWAYS suck, even if he wins everything. He's a cowgirl.

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

No chance we don't extend him but shouldn't we (and he) hope it doesn't cripple the team?

Kinda wish people would let the "icon" and "entertainer" stuff die. Cam did before he signed with us. Now he is doing what he can to be a great football player.

I would give any amount of money for a Lombardi in the case at BOA.

 

Well, JR's money.
