No One Giving Us a Chance

I hate ESPN! Not a single person on ESPN is giving us a chance! Herd says "Cam is worst QB in playoffs in decade." Stink called Cam bottom five QB and said we would lose by 20! What else have you heard and is anyone calling it out way at all?

Tony Dungy believes and he believed we could do it before we beat AZ.

Dungy > all ESPN personalities

I don't know why this bothers me so much...but it does.  Facts are a bitch...and if you look at the stats (any stats) for QBs the last 3-4 years you HAVE to put Cam in the discussion for being elite.  Does he throw high sometimes?  Yes. Does he fail to check down sometimes?  Yes.  But does he move the damn ball? Yes.  Would over the half the teams in the league trade their current starting QB for Cam in a heartbeat.  Abso-damn-lutely they would.

 

EDIT: Yes, there were times in the past when I sook my damn head and thought we'd be better off with a "pocket passser" (whatever that is nowadays).  But Cam changed my mind.  He's my damn QB damnit.

Still, I'm not thinking we lose, just hate the Cam hate. Also, has anyone heard of anyone taking us?

 

I don't know for sure if he's taking us to win, but Dungy is like the only person that is giving us a chance saying don't be surprised if Carolina makes some noise in the CLink.

Talking heads come in several categories typically players, coaches and guys who never played the game. They pick teams it seems based on which team they feel better represents their are of expertise. They pick their teams based on where they played, what they coached, or what is the easy pick for those who profess no bias. And have no experience as well. Dungy is a defensive guy so he tends to like the Panthers defense and sees Cam's potential. Jaws is a quarterback who wasn't very athletic and watched as a young Randall Cunningham became his back-up and eventually replaced him. Cam is the new and improved version of Randall Cunningham. If Ron was biased toward technique over athleticism because of his experiences with Randall, he would be biased against Cam who is very much like Cunningham only bigger and more durable.

They all have their biases or go with the safe pick which is Seattle. Even if you are wrong you are in good company and can say that everyone got that wrong.

So I don't expect many to pick us and maybe they are all right and I am just a homer. I truly believe we are going to persevere and find a way to win. But what do I know? I always think we are going to win and that the talking heads are going to be wrong this time.

No matter the ending this has been a great December and early January. I am going to enjoy it as long as I can. I hope come Sunday we are still playing ball.

    • XL might never reach his full potential here but I think he does have a legitimate shot at becoming a pretty good #2-3. We knew when we picked him that he was raw but his athletic traits were hard to pass on.  I still remember coming here and telling 85% of huddlers to not give up on DB yet after his first couple of years here.  I just knew DB was going to special. I wouldn't put XL in that exact same category but I wouldn't write him off yet. I think our playcalling is also working against his strengths.  At the very least, we should have a servicable #3 receiver w/ speed between XL, Horn Jr, and Meetchie. 
    • I think we haven't praised Morgan/tilis enough. In this thread we have some huddles best and its hard to figure out what to do with the 19th pick, if you understand that. Im also posting what "I" believe they are doing and what I feel is best. Those FA signess send a clear signal- They are going all-in to win this coming season. If you factor that in, just believe it first, it 100% changes what going on with pick 19, cause 51st pick doesn't matter as the talent level drop is petty big between the two. So 19 is the biggest difference maker on the current plan of all-in for the 2026.  Then you factor in who will be there at, (I better hold off on my other strong thought here- I think trade up is the best help too, yes using that 3rd to do so too...) DT, ILB(Allen? he didn't run), OC, QB(ooo my I don't want to rage drool my hate again about how I feel here, plus F it draft TY simp not joking)....... those 4 groups don't have the "BPA" at 19. You can add ILB Hill in there, but I feel 19 just is too high, other disagree.  Slot or TE it is......Kenyon is the only TE worth a 1st and he's the classic draft dilemma- All sort of he's a top ten lock to he's a non-blocking one trick WR that's not even worth 2nd currency. Then there's he's the clear winner from the TE group, thus increases his value more no matter the opinion.  Honestly I see the Matt Millen outcome as the current odds favorite, I think the huddle would go bonkers for weeks as result......just the truth tho, WR had the highest odds to be the clear BPA and slot is a need...plus if we are talking about Walker being a one year deal, Coker is a one year too(he may have another controll yr, I got to confirm it tho). Plus God forbid Tmac gets hurt, the drop in talent from him or Coker to Moore is fuging scary, I'd say more than the recent OT stone fellow. It goes back back to adding talent no matter what, draft now help, and where are  the weak points are in the system you want to run....  
    • good for him...but bigger is realizing that we are starting to develop talent to the point that when our FA's hit the market, teams ACTUALLY want them.  hasnt been that way in a minute.
