Cam is a good player. Not great.

 

He's a less-than average thrower with bad decision making. His legs are what makes him special.

 

Combined with a big arm, he has all the talent in the world. But he has terrible balance and throwing mechanics on his throws. Add in his bad decision making, and all that talent goes to waste.

 

Seattle did exactly what they needed to do to win. Make Cam a passer.

 

IMO, he could be an elite QB if he could learn how to be an effective thrower.

 

Until then, he's gonna be stuck in the middle of the pack.

But DA has played so exceptionally well he deserves a strong look. First DA looks good in training camp and all I hear is "its only training camp!" Then he looks good in pre season and all I hear is "its just pre season!" Then he plays two regular season games and looks like Peyton Manning, and all I hear is "but its teh Bucz!!"

DA has done enough to atleast warrant some cnsideration about rolling with him. He is just such a great passer from the pocket. Why on earth will you handicap your salary cap by signing Cam to a huge mega contract when a guy like DA can possibly do better for fraction of the cost.

What would you rather have, spend all your money on Cam and as a result have a bad team around him, or roll with DA and use that money for a elite WR and O line pieces?

 

LOL!

Anderson is a backup, and should stay one.

Cam actually played better than I thought he would (not good enough tho). and the defense played worse than I thought they would.

This was actually Cam's best game against the hawks and he did it on the road in the playoffs.

And when judging Cam's performance, you have to compare it to how other QB's fared. The Mannings and Rodgers of the world. Look up how they did..

Do you think about things before you say them or nah?

And despite getting 1/10 the talent that Ryan has/gets...he has the same amount of playoff victories...

And ofcourse I get the typical response with no valid arguments to disprove why im wrong on DA. Ok let me put it this way, in your opinion is Cam Newton worth 145 million?! Its a yes or no question because he will NOT, I repeat, WILL NOT settle for anything less. Especially now with a playoff win

You made a point, our defense really didn't perform well, especially the secondary.

      First 4 NFL starts - Tyler Shough

      By Mr. Scot · Posted

      Has anybody actually said anything of that sort? (if they did, I missed it) I get why some folks rely on stats. I don't, and honestly I'm not sure why people keep trying to convince me I should. (it ain't gonna happen) 😕 Consistency is my big thing too, and the lack of it is why I want to move on from Bryce. But again, that's an argument I make without denying that he can indeed play in (and yes, win) NFL games. Hating bad QB play is fine. Denying when you see good QB play is silly. Let's be real for a second... This may not be you specifically, but there are some folks for whom Bryce can do absolutely nothing to win their approval. Some are always gonna want a bigger / stronger / faster / more athletic (in some cases, Newtonesque) quarterback even if Bryce does start to play consistently. At that point, they'll just shift the argument from "we can't win with Bryce" to "well, we can't keep winning with Bryce" 😖 You know all this as well as I do. So again, I want to move on from Bryce as well. I'd happily (hell, merrily) keep him as a backup, but I doubt there's a realistic path to that happening. But no matter what, I'm gonna keep my debate points based in reality, and I'm not gonna be responsive to "he just sucks" level persuasion. Is any of that unreasonable? 🤔

      Apples and oranges.   No one is coming for Jon Snow and the neutral party when they compliment Bruce when it is just normal talk about a game.  Which is the literal picture you are trying to paint above.  I mean that’s exactly what you argued. if you start a thread that is about the future of the franchise at QB going forward at QB and what we should do or are thinking! Yeah, the anti Bryce crowd is going to very vocal on that thread because the literal topic is extending Bryce and the future at QB (which is what an anti Bryce position is literally about.  Moving on.  The future) This thread? I literally called out people in their feelings wanting to make this about Bryce and their hurt feelings eroding over.  You can find where I literally calls them out go make another Bryce thread if they didn’t want to talk Saints and the most relevant thing about them.  And the thread went exactly as we all knew it would.   Bryce deserved player of the week talk for Atlanta.  I have always acknowledged his great games.  A shame there are only two

      Then the offense will be the same up and down underperforming offense they are this year and our FO are filled with idiots.
