CRA

can't go by stats alone. they never tell the actual story. He barely played and had a INT. The pass was great. Like a 40 yard laser that the WR let a defender strip from him. Cam had a good preseason.

Cam IMO has always had a little Yogi Berra to him. I like it. guys like Shaq aren't on TV for their expert commentary. I mean, he would need to right fit/role. You wouldn't put Cam in a booth.

Cam would be great on TV. He has a TV face and smile. All the personality and then some.

will be interesting to see the info all trickle out. it makes too much sense to have him on the roster. Given how he looked and his cost. I could see that. BB did appear to actually like Cam. If Cam asked to be cut....I could see BB honoring it if he was moving on. That's just all tea reading and guessing though. I'm sure we will find something out soon though.

Yeah, but this is Cam Newton. Journeyman backup IMO was never in the cards to finish out his career.... even if he technically could do the job.

I love Cam. I think he still had something left in him. But he was never going to be the guy that played here again. Going to Mac Jones makes sense. Mac Jones has looked good IMO. And I am a Mac hater. but it is surprising Cam wasn't kept. Gotta think it wasn't about play. Either the COVID issue became a deal breaker or Cam simply couldn't remain once told he would be the backup.

I wish Cam would just announce his retirement. Hate to see the ending get worse and worse. forget Houston. Cam's ego and career has already taken a big hit......he would just get murdered in Houston. He went to NE to prove everyone wrong. That opportunity doesn't exist in Hou.

Cam looked pretty good in preseason IMO. I'd agree, he currently is better than Sam. But that ship has sailed here. And I frankly get other teams not wanting to deal with a high profile unvaccinated add. NFL rules make Cam an undependable option.

Cam actually had a decent preseason on field. He is also cheap. I think if you don't want him it is simply COVID headaches or Cam not willing to be happy being a backup that got him cut. Otherwise, even if you start Mac Jones.....keeping Cam would make sense.

what a sad ending to Cam's career. if you want to get a job on a roster....being an unvaccinated FA doesn't seem like a great spot to be in. I don't see him being picked up. Would probably take injury at this point for a team to pick him up.

the new braintrust just passed on Menshew and he went for a bag of Doritos. seems pretty clear they don't want anything but Sam Darnold IMO.

I think the Sam and Teddy decisions would be what dooms him. Not which bad backup he kept between PJ and Grier. Neither should be the backup and the Panther had a tons of opportunity to add better players at QB......but his Sam decision appears to have prevented that. But I do believe if Rhule fails....the QB position and how he managed it will be his downfall. But that's not a conversation about choosing between Grier and PJ.

I understand some want PJ cut and for us to add a veteran who is better. I don't see that happening. For the same reason Menshew wasn't an option. If you add someone better than PJ.....well, you now could have a QB competition with Sam Darnold. Which Rhule doesn't want to deal with. And he would, if Sam remains the inconsistent player he has always been. I lobbied for it initially. I think if you were actually trying to salvage Darnold you would give him a better QB room. As well as a lot of other things we haven't. But the reality is, a veteran QB on the roster that is better than the PJ/Grier tier.....would likely create an atmosphere where Rhule would have to deal with questions on QB that he doesn't want to deal with.

my bad, I misread it lol, I thought you said he pushed the ball 5 yards downfield. As in checked downed. You said something completely different. Carry on.

I mean, that just isn't true. You can dislike PJ, but his instincts are to push the ball downfield. Which is what he does. The correct PJ critique would be...to be critical of him as he attempts to push the ball downfield. Sam Darnold has been the checkdown king of the offseason.

Backups totally contained and bottled up our offense for nearly two full quarters. then with 5 minutes left in the first half they did orchestrate a very nice 2 minute drill….but it still was against backups. The bar is pretty low for that to get the praise it is getting. We looked like a team that has a lot to sort out on offense to be competitive this season.

He isn't bad at it, but I am about tired of Tony Dungy. *and yeah, Brees sucks in that role.

TMJ gets every game ball of the preseason

Zod should counter offer and ask for the pregame signature W

Joe Person sounds like he has been taken hostage. Being forced to send out messages to draw attention away from the uprising.

"players are meeting".....sounds like a possible uprising. Players have probably barricaded themselves inside the building.

bubonic plague or probably cancelled for a team building exercise that features the O and D competing in a homemade DBO sign contest.

I think Alex Smith actually missed 1 game during his 5 years in KC. Health wasn't an issue. Being risk adverse was, which was holding the team back. Which is why they drafted a QB that would sling it despite being a consistent playoff team with Smith. He was routinely sitting out week 17 those seasons as they headed into the playoffs. Alex Smith is a better version of Teddy. Yes. But again, They are the same type of QB. So if you want Sam Darnold to be an Alex Smith type.....you are wanting him to be a Teddy. To which I say, no thank you. I didn't want Teddy because he was a poor man's Alex Smith. You need a QB that makes plays downfield in today's NFL. The selling of Sam Darnold keeps taking dramatic shifts IMO. Should of drafted Fields. Should of drafted Mac. And I disliked Mac Jones. But Mac Jones is making plays downfield in preseason. That is, if the goal for Sam Darnold is now becoming to play like Teddy/Alex.
