Was thinking the same thing, some omissions from the list too, no Rivers, Romo, Brady, Brees? I mean, is there really any point comparing Cam to Namath, Kelly and Garcia? 

 

Nice thought, confusing execution. 

 

There was also eli manning, troy aikman, peyton manning in there. I don't know why you are only focusing on the maginal names there.

It was because of the marginal names that the list was confusing. Compare Cam to either Manning or Dan Marino or Warren Moon and other stars? OK. Makes sense. But add Josh Freeman to the list? And some guy from 1927. And other marginal guys and the list becomes...I don't know what. That's what we were confused about.

 

Then it was pointed out that these are the guys in NFL history who started more than 50 games in their first 4 years in the NFL. Basically started as rookies for 4 years like Cam. Then it makes sense. Then the story it's trying to say becomes clear. Cam is in the top third maybe even top quarter of all these guys at this point in their careers.

 

Pretty good find by the OP even though it needed to be explained to me like I'm a 5 year old child. :)

      Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds.

      Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.
