They actually surprise me with some common sense in this video. They sound very reasonable, they seem to understand that Cam is just as good as guys like Wilson/Ryan. Just figured it would be interesting to some. 

​Seemed like Woody was having trouble getting the idea across to Les that QB pay is ever increasing with the salary cap. Yes, Cam is getting elite money at this moment, but he will likely have a sub top 10 salary within 3-5 years. Considering the fact that Tannehill got 96m, and Cam will likely get 100m-115m, I'd see that deal being eclipsed very very quickly.

​Do you think John Fox's best defense stacks up to RR's best?

​The defense in 2003 was pretty strong. Peppers and Rucker up front, Ricky(particularly in the playoffs) and Minter in the secondary. Was quite the squad.

I do agree, though, that the comment threw me for a loop. They certainly haven't been bad, or even average.

*Edit: Just crunched the numbers. In total yards allowed (because I'm too lazy to re-sort the numbers for every year): Average defense ranking under Fox: 11.11, Ron: 12.5. So it's pretty close.

Yeh, the defense comment was mind-boggling. But overall they seem to be reasonable about Cam. Plus, I said SOME common sense. Lol! 

I liked that the one on the right (can't remember his name) said that Cam may not deserve that now but it shouldn't be too long before he may. Also, Woody mentioned that Wilson has played with a better overall team than Cam. And that it was likely Cam would have been in two Superb Owls as well if he played for Seattle.

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

      By carolinanimal · Posted

      i think the difference is that we win when we minimize Bryce as part of the offense ala Trent dilfer. look at the games we win and he us always under 200 yards passing.

      Which is also why we talk about there being a lower ceiling for Bryce I think Bryce sees the game decently well already given the mess this offence has been for the better part of his career. His big WTF plays are typically him just dropping the damn ball Which leaves me wondering sometimes what does peak Bryce look like. Guys like Sam you’d watch in NY/Carolina and he’d have so many boneheaded plays that you were left thinking if he could just clean these up you’d have a solid QB. And now we’re finally seeing Sam in a good offence and he’s able to play with timing and within structure and those boneheaded plays are cut down to 2-3 times a game Bryce doesn’t have a ton of boneheaded plays (minus flat out dropping the ball) so I dunno. I think Bryce can be a solid QB. Put Bryce in Seattle or Tampa and they’re still winning a lot of games  Coaching and overall team matters so much. The only dude that I think could probably do the most with the least in this league would be Lamar

      They both struggle with that but Lawrence is a significantly better athlete and an INSANELY more physically gifted passer. He has very limited reasons to be struggling the way he has. I will say, when he came into the league I specifically remember an interview that he basically intimated that he would be okay if his life didn't involve football and I have always questioned if he was passionate enough to be elite from that moment onward.
