June 3, 201511 yr Obviously you only have to be an average quarterback in this league to make a fortune. Ain't like Cam Newton gets a lot of help in the offense. They're just taking care of their meal ticket.
June 3, 201511 yr If you look at Newton's, Dalton's and Tanneyhill's stats their 1st three seasons they are scary similar except for Cam's rushing yards. Cam gets 60+M guaranteed, Tanneyhill 45M guaranteed, and Dalton 17M guaranteed. Looks like the Bengals got a huge bargain with AD.
June 3, 201511 yr $60M guaranteed - largest guarantee ever $67M over the first 3 years His 2015 cap number went down by $1.6M.
June 3, 201511 yr He's finally going to make as much money as he did playing for Auburn. The "bag man" is going to need some help.
June 3, 201511 yr If there is EVER a contract to show just how important the QB position is in the NFL it's this one. By NFL standards, Cam is close to average yet the Panthers believe it is so difficult to find a really good QB that they overpay to keep him. It's why there is a cottage industry for QB gurus.
June 3, 201511 yr Side note: Congrats to Cam on earning his degree this spring. That will help him down the road.

Again, Cam's numbers are very AD like, except rushing yards and TD's. That's worth a little, but not 40M more than AD.
June 3, 201511 yr It's easy to say replace your qb but there are not 32 great quarterbacks out there. You have to overpay for an average quarterback.
