Basically, and QB who has demonstrated any degree of athleticism in compared to Cam these days. On one level it's flattering to be the standard by which all comparisons are made. On the other hand, comparing anyone to Cam is laughable. There has never been anyone like him and there may never be, he is a singular talent.

Well, it's an improvement on the black-to-black and white-to-white only comparisons. I almost lost it last year when people were comparing Jameis Winston to Cam as quarterbacks. Jameis and Cam are basically nothing alike as players.

Good point, I think Cam has finally transcended the "black quarterback" stereotype. The perceived similarities to Winston last year were almost as absurd as the automatic comparison to Jamarcus Russell leading up to the draft.

Was Paxton Lynch doing poo like this in college?

Jesus Christ Cam used to make some absolutely disgusting cuts.  He's obviously a better player now, but since the ankle surgery and wearing that ridiculously bulky body armor vest and whatever else he doesn't seem quite as agile/quick/fast as he did in his Auburn days and first couple years.

Honestly no point in comparing anyone to Cam.  I will live and I will die and I will never see an athlete with the combination of strength, size, speed, and mental grit that he has.  Cam is something special.

I like Gruden.

I wonder if you guys could sit in front of a camera for 4 straight hours and not say anything stupid.

It happens.
