    someone posted a stat the other day and in the past 25 years a team with an oline ranked in the high 20's has never made the playoffs.  There is just no way to overcome that.  I think we lose sunday and cam comes in and we go .500 from here on out.    Then you have to sit back and wonder what the fug was the point of it all.

    things never happen until they happen. the "impossible" happens all the time.

  2. This season has been so screwy for so many teams I don't know how you can cement all but a couple teams in or out of the playoffs.

     

    Some teams you'd think we're sure things have had issues come up that put them on shaky ground and other teams you think wouldn't have a chance are now only a game or two out. 

    I like our chances mainly because the league is just so unpredictable right now.

  3. It doesn't matter. All that matters is that we're moving forward. Was there a waste of money? Probably, but it wasn't mine so I'm not crying.

    But as far as what brought it about and who is to blame....don't look for just one party because that's very rarely the case.

    Cam wanted a long term contract but he hadn't been healthy in several years. Do you give a long term contract to a great, but often injured player that the offense is built around? (Yes...you could ask that about CMC as well)

    Also, it could be that the culture that Rhule wanted to cultivate in this team didn't mesh well with Cam's larger than life personality.

    There's nothing wrong with what Rhule wanted to do (a culture that is more about getting down to business than partying while you do business) and nothing wrong with Cam's personality (contrary to what some people whos minds are stuck in an outdated and narrow-minded point of view).

    But sometimes the chemistry isn't right. I think the situation and players involved have evolved to make it work in a way it wouldn't have before. Basically the time is right when it may not have been before.

    This is how fuged up our teams ownership/management is.

    Right now we are paying Cam's replacement ( TB),  paying Cam's replacement's replacement ( SD),  and paying Cam himself to replace his replacement's replacement.  It would be laughable if it wasn't so friggin infuriating as to how incompetent this team is.

    We got Cam back. That's all that matters.

  5. Cam is still one of the most dangerous short yardage players in the league. If they haven't forgotten to respect him, it won't take long for that respect to come back which will open things up for the rest of the offense in those situations. I'm not at all worried about the OL in those situations. Cam & co. will still be able to get that done. 

    One (of many) advantages we have in Cam over Sam is that Cam won't get flustered and lose confidence when things start to collapse.

    Sam crumbles under pressure. Cam thrives in it.

    Not only does Cam not crumble, he rallies the players around him in a way that few have ever been able to do.

    What made Cam great wasn't just the physical parts of his game, it was the incredible amount of contagious confidence that he brought onto the field spreading to the players and that filled the stadium. As long as he has that, we've got a chance.
