Dirtybird56 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I know TATF but it's a division rival and helps demonstrate how we got a good deal with Ryan as they're about to pay Newton about the same or even more. Also nice they won't have that advantage of their QB on the rookie scale anymore going forward "@RapSheet: My understanding on the imminent Cam Newton 5-year, more than $100M extension is full guarantees are very real. We wait for firm numbers""@JasonLaCanfora: Cam Newton hasn't yet agreed to terms, but every expectation his extension done in next 24-48hrs. Will be making over $20M/year...""@adbrandt: Tannehill's deal very much like Kaepernick and Dalton, essentially $25M over 2 years, then "we'll see." Expect Cam to be much more."

paulitik Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Good, now the idiots can quit crying about Matt Ryan's contract. Congrats Cam Newton on your one playoff win against a team with no QB, RB, and half the defense on the IR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lornoth Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Well, good for Cam. He managed to be a great athlete, mediocre QB, and is now set for the next couple life times.Sucks for the Panthers though, they were barely holding their team together as is.

Herr Doktor Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 It is brutal when your starting quarterback is coming off his rookie contract. Thankfully for us, TD has handled our cap with flair. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Falkonator Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Looking at it unbiasley(if that's even a word) while Ryan is a better pure natural QB(old fashioned if you will). Cam Newton as the new mold of QBs(more athlete than natural passer) has led his team to the playoffs back to back years, has won the same amount as Ryan in the playoffs,the place where so many people base how good a QB is, so with that being said he should be getting a contract similar to that of Matt Ryan, and it be deserving,just as Ryan's contract was deserving.

If Matt Ryan had that kind of production on his defense, Falcons would have been in the playoffs last year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The team we beat, won the Super Bowl the next season.Arizona was wiped out when they played Carolina. They didn't have a chance, and it was still the Defense that was the key to their win. Not all playoff wins are the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not all playoff wins are the same.still a win or loss, if you win your QB is credited for the success,if it's a loss,the QB is blamed for a loss.I personally hate this form of distinguishing the best QBs, but that's how so many people here and in the media base the best QBs from.So playoff wins Ryan 1, Cam 1. Now it becomes "well Ryan had harder opponents,etc etc." Looking at it unbiased, wouldn't cam be considered as having the same amount of success as Ryan? And looking at it in that way deserve a similar contract? By no ways does this mean Cam is a good as Matt Ryan as a QB, just playing the same position(very differently) he has had the same amount of success.

Falkonator Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Russell Wilson has to be loving thisafter seeing what tannehill got,still shocked as he has done nothing to garner such a big payday, and now seeing what Cam is going go be getting,it's kinda scary to see what Russell gets, wouldn't be shocked if he ends up getting payed more than Rodgers.

If that's the metric then Tim Tebow and TJ Yates should have $100 million contracts. It's just lazy analysis. What would Matt Ryan look like with Bill Belichick coaching, and an all-pro OL. There are so many more variables in the NFL than in any other sport. QBs should always be judged by how they perform in context of the 52 men around them, and the scheme and plays called by the coaches.

I agree with you on that aspect,I even stated I disagree with how QBs are rated based on Wins, but that is sadly how they are rated from best to worst in this league. Namely Playoff wins,other factors play in it but ultimately,it's how much success have they had. And up to this point based on that View it would show Cam is deserving of a contract similar to Ryan's. That's all I'm trying to say, do I think Cam deserves it based on how good he is as a QB,definetly not,**** if that's how it would be viewed, only 3 QBs would be making that type of money. No other QBs would smell 75mil. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As long as it stays strong and Cam gets more help, they will be fighting for the NFC South title Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FentayeJones Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 I cant hate on Cam. He may not be the best pure QB in the league but he is a great athlete and will win you some games. Congrats to him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
falconidae Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Newton generated about 3666 yards of offense and 23 TDs last year. Gonna get 20 mil+ a year? yeah, I'm OK with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AZ94 Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Good, now the idiots can quit crying about Matt Ryan's contract. Congrats Cam Newton on your one playoff win against a team with no QB, RB, and half the defense on the IR. I was just about to post something very similar to this.This is what angers me about people quoting Matt Ryan's "one" playoff win. It came against a team that would then go on to play in the next two superbowls, additionally it required a drive down the field to field-goal range in less than a minute.You compare this with Cam Newton's "one" playoff win. It came against a team which achieved unbelievably poor offensive production because Carolina's defence was incredible. The game also somehow remained close until the end of the third period.Rant over. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
M@ck Posted June 1, 2015 Share Posted June 1, 2015 Good for Cam, Tannehill got 90 mil? Based off that Cam deserves over a hundred mil.. Doesn't really concern me what he's making if he isn't playing for us.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
