Where’s the Outrage Over the Derek Carr Contract?

My buddy Clip will shake his head as he reads this title. He isn’t a Panthers fan, but he doesn’t fall for the hyper-criticism surrounding Cam Newton that we have become accustomed to. He shakes his head at the hyperbole and dismisses almost entirely. He seems amused when it bothers me and I think he gets annoyed when I’m baited into rebutting every nonsensical argument like this one. He jokingly calls me “Cam Newton Mama Bear,” albeit I prefer “Cam Newton Secret Service.” (Hear us talk Cam Newton, Booger McFarland, and Derek Carr on 1250 Pirate Radio)

This week, Derek Carr inked 125 million dollar contract with the Raiders, making him the highest paid NFL player until the next mega-deal signed makes the next player the highest player.
