If Cam has an MVP type season, what will be the reason?

It will mean:

He will be #27 on the top 100.  They will start the clip by saying. ... he is alright but he isn't Andrew Luck.

Someone will make a top 10 QB list and leave him off just to drive website hits.

The people who hate him will hate him more.

There will be endless articles about his TD and first down celebrations.

Some report questioning his commitment will come out of the blue.

Someone will say he has better pocket awareness and clearly ignore that it's probably the most stable pocket he has seen since his rookie year.

Aaron Rodgers, Luck, Either of the Mannings, Drew Brees, Matt Ryan, Flacco, Roethlisburger, Kaep, Wilson, RG3, etc.. would have to have had a horrible year for Cam to win it over them.

   Well, I think he played pretty well for an injured player. I also believe he has had MVP caliber seasons (just without wins) even though he hasn't had a great supporting cast. I think a competent o-line will help as well as weapons, but I think the only way he gets MVP recognition is if the team produces wins. He could have the same stat line with a 7-8-1 team as he does with a 13-3 team but he wouldn't receive recognition with the 7-8-1 team because the wins wouldn't be there. No matter how valuable he is (and has been) to the team, he won't win MVP until the team wins. For an individual award it requires team success......that's just how it is. So, none of the above.

My answer: Wins

There won't be any one REASON. Everything you said would factor in. Plus his development will continue like it has every year. I think, despite the bad stats and what looked like bad play on the surface, he improved a lot last year and it was a big learning year for him. He was in the MVP discussion early last year before the line went haywire, even with the busted ankle and ribs and poor overall "weapons." I really hope this is THE YEAR for Cam, and I don't see any reason why it won't be. He has the ability physically and mentally to be an MVP-caliber player, and I do think it'll show this year. Only possible hinderance is Shula, but I'm willing to give him a chance now that we have better personnel to run his offense. It seemed to work well down the stretch last year, when our interior was shored up, Philly was inserted and Stew was healthy. That was evidenced by our game against Seattle where our offense was actually carrying the team. If the defense played like it should have (or we had Hardy and Star...) we scored more than enough points to win that game.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
