NFL.com: top 5 rookie QB seasons...guess who's missing?

So I really try to not buy too much into the whole "the media hates Cam!" thing, but wow, Cam isn't even a "tough omission." Apparently the writer gives a lot more weight to total wins than overall stats, so he has guys like Roethlisberger at 2.

I mean, at the time, people were widely calling Cam's rookie season arguably the greatest of all time.

 

Of course, it gets diminished because of Dalton, Luck, Wilson, and Tannehill, as well as Cam's 'lack of progress'.

 

No big deal though. If Cam can solidify himself amongst the elite within the next few years, then his rookie season will be far and wide regarded as one of, if not the best of all time. It was the start of a new era of young, mobile QBs.

 

He'll be regarded as a revolutionist and be a first ballot Hall of Famer if he can enter the realm of and persist as an elite QB.

The only shocking part was that Luck wasn't on the list. Everyone knew Cam wouldn't be...

 

But Dan was #1. I remember towards the end of Cam's rookie season quite a few people said that is was the greatest Rookie season since Dan and may even be better. They knock Cam cause he didn't win I guess and put Russell at 3 because he did, which is meh... so did Matt Ryan.

Everyone here knows the records Cam broke. It took the combo of RG3 and Luck to break those records (RG3 running, barely, and Luck with 100+ attempts more than Cam on a better team than Cam with far inferior opponents)

 

Sometimes I feel like I'm the crazy one thinking the media does Cam/Carolina wrong. My buddy tells me I'm crazy... then poo like this gets published.

It's pretty ridiculous he didn't make the top five. Kudos for at least mentioning his name I guess...

But seriously, QBs can't win games by themselves. It's so unfair that Wilson makes this list because he was on a winning (more talented) team. The list means nothing, I'm just sick of his individual achievements being overlooked because of the team that surrounded him. So many things you could say to make an argument for him, but let's just add guys who were on good teams. Perfect...

    • Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"
    • Yeah your right the owner was copping hand shandies while all this was going down 
    • I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
