This is Cam's year to silence a lot of critics

First of all. Cam doesn't need to prove anything to me. I've watched every NFL snap he's played and I know he's got the goods.

There is, however, a large contingent of morons that still spout out the "immature" "just a running back" narrative. (Read the comments on any article about Cam if you insist on proof.)

Our schedule this year provides Cam with an opportunity for a publicity tour of delusional fan bases. Cam has a chance to showcase his abilities in front of the Hawks fans at home and their temporary Wolfpacker Russ Wilson bandwagoners, the redneck Carolina Skins fans, the dolts that say RG3 is a better QB, the Luck-huggers, the Chip Kelly fanbois, the cheese-headed discount double checkers, and the freakin' Reverse Cowgirls on Turkey Day. These teams not only have obnoxious, ignorant fans, but they have huge bandwagon fan bases right here in NC.

It's going to be sweet watching Cam serve them all some Crowjangles[emoji768] canjun spiced blackbird with a side of fries that doesn't have nearly enough seasoning on them. (seriously, I'll give the person behind the counter a tip if they just hand me the damn shaker.)

Thanks for reading my cool story, bros!

Cam definitely took a step back last year but there's plenty of reasonable explanations as to why (injuries, talent surrounding him, etc) and he didn't regress so far that I feel worried in the slightest. 

 

Having said that, I would like to see him be more consistent with his throws and accuracy, improve his footwork, and "own" the offense in ways that Brees, Brady, Ryan, Manning, etc. do. We saw glimpses of that especially when he ran no huddle. It was a thing of beauty watching that stuff. Hopefully he can do it more next year.

Yeah, it is Cam's year to show everyone. I've watched every one of his pro snaps, just like everyone here. He's a phenomenal athlete, charismatic and has everything it takes to be a QB.

 

But...

 

He's got to win and he's got to win in the playoffs, or we're looking at Michael Vick (minus the bad publicity) all over again: great athlete, should be an elite NFL QB, but never reaches the potential.

 

Football is a quarterback driven sport, and the only statistic that matters in the end is the Win-Loss ratio. A quarterback either wins games or doesn't.

 

Going into this season, Cam's win-loss-tie ratio is 31-31-1. In the same span of time, Jake Delhomme (nowhere near the athlete Cam is) posted a win-loss ratio for us of 36-25 (his fourth season was cut short three games). Kerry Collins (and no one is going to cheer him as a great QB) posted a 26/26 record his four years with us (only 4 games in 1998 -- all losses).

 

Playoff wins and losses for them for the first four years here are:

Newton: 1-2

Delhomme: 5-2

Collins: 1-2

 

Rushing, passing, all other stats aside, if we aren't winning, it doesn't matter. If we aren't striking deep into the playoffs, we're basically the Cincinnati Bengals.

 

Right now, historically Cam is neck and neck with Kerry Collins, another guy we thought was a franchise QB. A QB with Cam's skillset should be way ahead of Collins at this point in his career. He should have won more games.

 

So yeah, this year, Cam really needs to show everyone. He needs to make that leap and pay off the hope we've all invested in him. You can blame injuries, coaching and the quality of other players as much as you want, but Collins and Delhomme had the same issues. It's time for Cam to rise up and at least soar above Collins. 

 

He's got much more work ahead to match up with Delhomme.

Horrible logic.

Geno is so good that NYJ would take mariota at 5.

Squirrel is about the equivalent to Geno.

Both are sub par, both have irratiinal tempertantrums (geno storming out after not being picked in round 1) and both will be, or have been replaced (mod demotion).

 

See you dont even have your facts straight.  I step down on my own was tired of dealing with retards like you.

      Possibly playoff affectng news

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      By R0CKnR0LLA · Posted

      Should definitely look to trade him in the offseason. Some team will fork over draft picks thinking they can turn his career around, especially considering what happened to Mayfield and Darnold after they left here. I think a lot of people will be surprised at how high of a pick he would fetch too. There's a dozen guys you could bring in to match (or exceed) Bryce's production for 1/10th of what his 5th year option is going to cost. Let some other dumb team pay that (and ship us draft picks for the privilege). Dump Dalton too while you're at it, start the QB room over from scratch.
