1. He's grown as a passer -- the numbers back it up, but his mental and physical progression is clear. Not leaps and bounds last year but he's grown from the raw product we saw when he came from Auburn.
2. Cam's cleared two of the benchmarks for NFL quarterbacks: he's been to the playoffs and he has a playoff win. He's the only NFC South quarterback to EVER win back-to-back division titles. 
3. He has no one around him! Kelvin Benjamin helped last year and adding Devin Funchess is big too, but let's not act like Cam is working with a stacked deck.
4. His offensive line has stunk. It's getting better too but he's been a quarterback under fire.
5. He's working in a limited offensive system. Plug him in the Philadelphia Eagles system with Chip Kelly and he's shattering records. 
6. What's the alternative??? This is the biggest one for me: if you DON'T pay Cam, you want to go and try your luck in the draft or in free agency? The top players available were Jameis Winston and Josh McCown. You don't want that life, Mox. 
7. The minimum amount of guaranteed money on the deal is going to be $40 million because Cam's owed $14.5 million for 2015 on his option and would get $25 million(ish) for a 2016 franchise tag.
I bet this ends up looking like a Matt Ryan type deal from the Atlanta Falcons -- his agent has to understand it'll get beat by Philip Rivers and Andrew Luck in the next year so it should be a current top-5 contract.

And Point Four is silly. For whatever you thinl of Shula, the Coryell system is one of the best established offenses in the league. Kelly's using a gimmicky system that wears out his own defense.

​It wins though, and his offense is always near the top even with Mark shitty Sanchez.

​The Coryell system is great. Shula is not.

It hasn't truly won much of anything yet. And there were signs late last season that other teams had caught up to it. We'll see this coming season.

I'd add that records don't mean jack.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.

      No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
