This is a very serious discussion that Gettleman needs to have with Cam and the team. I'm as big of a Cam fan as anyone, but I'm hard pressed to see ANY QB worth 25% of the team's cap.

I know franchise QBs don't grow on trees. But neither do complete teams. And giving up that much money kills the opportunity of building a team.

 

 

What would you pay Andrew Luck next year?

There is nothing to spin. It was pure lunacy then, and it's still pure lunacy now.

Cam is our franchise player. Build around him, and let's win.

The fact that Gettleman had to reiterate that he finally proved it at the end of the season? Then there was a question.

But, you're too set to see it any other way than some magical Christmas land you live in. That's okay.

Gettleman didn't hold a press conference just to say "hey guys, Cam is our franchise QB". He was asked the question by a reporter, and even laughed because it was so ludicrous. There is no need to get defensive over this, you said it man, why not just admit you made a mistake?

No idea. I don't think anyone will know until we see this crop of QBs first start getting paid. And I guess that's going to start with Kaep. :/

 

Let's pretend Luck was up for a new contract this year along with Cam, Dalton, and Kap. What would you play Luck?

Not even young, QB's are getting paid period and majority of the contracts they've received has been bad decisions

 

I meant the new crop of QB's in general.

 

Obviously you could make an argument for Cutler, but the Flacco contract, while high, looked like a smart decision at the time. It's too early.

Similar to what stafford made, as someone else stated in this thread, on his extension. So, 5 years/76m?

The same id offer Cam.

These young QB's are going to big contracts, it's just going to happen. Market value is going up, not down.

 

They are also going to demand big contracts because of 2011. Colin has barely made 4 million dollars since entering into the league meanwhile Stafford has earned well over $100 million.

 

None of these QBs are taking "discounts" and we really can't blame them. Now is the time for them to make money and the Colts, Panthers, 49ers, Seahawks, Bengels, etc. should have taken advantage of their cheap labor in their rookie contracts.

 

The Panthers have no excuse (If I am Cam's agent) for not signing better talent around Cam when he came so cheap and making a SB run. Now that he can actually make Stafford money, I am going to go after all the pennies I can for Newton given he got stiffed on his rookie deal. 

 

This summer and next should be interesting.

Well I have to disagree, although Flacco did get hot at the right moment, but so did Trent Dilfer. The defense and the few weapons played a big part. Once those parts left, you seen how Flacco performed this year with the team FULLY on his shoulders. You got Romo contract and Stafford contract too

      High look overview...

      By musicman · Posted

      Start with Bryce, this is like his rookie year. The 1st 2 games proved her was wired wrong and it looks like (we hope) he needed a time out to reset and be the player that was drafted. He's still about a year or more away from being a top 15 QB, if the Panther give him another playmaker or 2 (a top WR and a decent TE) and maintain that line. Canales deserves credit as playing that card correctly to motivate (or refocus) his QB for one last shot to decide his and the Panthers immediate future. As a Panther fans we should hope he keeps improving as we invested so much to get him. CJ Stroud will never have a season like he had, even if he stays a top 10 QB. He's got great character so I'm rooting for Bryce to continue on his positive journey. Canales is playing the week to week thing with bryce perfectly. Nothings guaranteed, earn it weekly which builds consistency and consistency is greatness.  Keep the O-line. They've got to extend Brady C, along with Mayes that have a real good 7. Great job Morgan starting with the big guys upfront.  I really hope they draft a DE or OLB in the 1st round. Getting Brown back with A Robinson and what DJ has shown that we can have a decent D-line. Need a CB in the early rounds/ or a time FA to go with Horn.  The future as to next year being good enough to challenge for the division is within reach. Just show progress (win or lose) every week. Kudos to Dan Morgan. Plays GM like a LB. Tackle the problem and move on, don't just hope it works out. Find guys with your playing mentality and work closely with your HC to share a vision. Teamwork starts at the top and flows down.

      Canes vs Panthers(Back to Back Games Thread)

      By Panthers Fan 69 · Posted

      Since we play the Panthers today and tmrw, we will have one gigantic double thread for both games. Today’s game is at 3pm and tmrw is 7pm.    After beating the Rangers and sending the those yankee bastards back to Cary, we get the Champs in the house.  Clean up the defense, no more lazy clears, and score baby score.  LFG CANES!
