Good to see we don't have to worry about him trying to be forced to throw from the pocket again:

"What he has done has really refined his game, really become a pro, but he's going to play his way," Turner said. "He's going to run -- that's what makes him the dynamic player he is -- but also making the throws in the pocket, going through his reads. All of those things come from experience, and he's played seven seasons now."

I always believed he would become the best QB in football. In my opinion he is. He has those extra dimensions the other guys can't duplicate. Lots of QBs can run but can they run power? Can they juke and break ankles? Can they jump over the pile? Can they truck LBs and CBs? His combination of size, force, speed, agility, great downfield accuracy, leadership by example, etc. etc.

My problem with the NFL is I feel that for years they intentionally sanctioned the stereotypical QB and what they should and shouldn't DO or BE on the field. Cam was the threat that had to be dealt with sanctioned blatantly "illegal" head shots, a free for all that continued into the SB.

I just want to see us focusing on having an overall offense and calling plays that help Cam and the offense be successful rather than hoping that Cam can help the offense and play call be successful.

So what you're saying is that coach's choices in play-design and play-calling can contribute to the success of a play?

Dude... radical. 

You sure you don't want to reconsider this insanity?

I am all for keeping Cam as a dual threat QB vs limiting his running. However, they gotta get the ball outta his hands quicker. Does that mean changing Cam or changing the playbook? To be honest, I think it’s a little bit of both. I hated Shula’s plays but I can’t tell u how many times I was screaming at my TV for Cam to just get rid of the ball. 

Cam might have been held back by dumb coaching, but let’s also not pretend Cam is perfect either. He’s got plenty of things he can improve on. I don’t think anything drastic needs to happen tho in order for him to reach his potential.

I am hopeful that Scott and Norv can help Cam fix the things that Mike and Ken could not. Everyone knows the issues but little changed. Cam is going to evolve from running to passing as he ages and can't take the punishment any longer. That isn't a debate. The issue is helping him by getting the talent he needs and helping him maximize the skills and abilities he has.

      I am literally too stupid to understand advanced metrics and it makes watching sports sooooo much easier.

      Would you draft a pass rusher or draft one?

      I am not sure it should be a ‘sell out to go to the SB’ season. And hope they don’t think that.  At the same time I was thinking you absolutely must find out if you want to pay for Bryce or not. That means putting it on him. No protecting and trying to hide weaknesses with the run game and super conservative calls.  So I wish they would do it and find out, win or lose, 2026. No more developing. Time to do it. Let’s see once and for all.

      Your Feelings on Bryce Through 3 Seasons? (POLL)

      By Montsta · Posted

      My biggest fear with Bryce Young is that he will always do just enough to stick around. He shows flashes and then drops a turd so the hopium is always there. Like his career highlight reel if you cut it up to some hype music and did a YouTube video would actually be quite good. His great plays really, really look good. But after that video you look at his yearly averages for completion percentage, yardage, touchdowns, and virtually every other metric and it is meh as fug. Like you know Bryce is gonna be 13/23 for 157 yards a touchdown and probably a pick.  I will 100% give him his flowers for his athleticism and ability to scramble outside the pocket. I haven’t seen the mythical “super processing ability” he was touted for per se, but he has shown flashes of absolutely elite awareness when it comes to scrambling. The little basketball move he does to shake defensive linemen has almost become a signature move. It’s hard to explain but you know it when you see it he stops on a dime and pivots like he is gonna hit a step back jumper and it has gotten him out of a lot of trouble.  I sincerely, truly, as a vocal Bryce HATER, hope that since we are obviously running with him next year the coaching staff actually tailors plays around his strengths. He needs to be in a pure spread IMO. His size is much less of a hindrance when he can play QB in open space. I feel like most of his highlight reel is from scrambles and play action/bootlegs.
