Guess what grade PFF gave Cam?


TN05

Recommended Posts

Seems fair in all honesty.  The entire offense was bad save for a few plays through the first 3 quarters, even though Cam was responsible for pretty much all the offense we were able to eek out.  Then Cam played at like a 99.9% in the fourth.

So if you average Cam being about 65 (slightly above average for 3 quarters) and 100 for the fourth, you basically end up with ~74.

Anyway, I don't have a clue how they do their math but it seems reasonably representative of the overall body of work for Cam yesterday.

In the end, he was unbelievably clutch in the 4th and got the win.  A 100 in my book.

There are QBs throwing 350+ yards and 3+ TDs regularly. Our offense is tepid compared to some of these 2018 stick-moving machines.

I don't think clutch offense and carrying an offense are factored into PFF, which is how you get the grade above. It's not meant to be subjective like you apparently want it to be.

Cam goes 25/39 (64%), 269 yards, 2 TD, 0 INT . . . and rushes 7 times for 49 yards . . . and wins?  On the road?  Against the champs?

I get you don't want subjective, I respect that.  But it should definitely take winning and losing into account.  There's nothing subjective there.  Same with being on the road vs at home.

This is exactly the Cam we - and all the experts - wanted to see for years.  Limited mistakes.  Good completion percentage.

No worries, winning is the key.  He get's an A from me.  We won, solid stats.  Let the trolls quibble over the other 3 quarters.  Coaches finally adjusted, Cam got into a good rhythm.

    • As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it. 
    • If you plug Bryce onto the Pro Bowl roster you might have a chance to compete for a SB. If he's surrounded by top tier talent with a top tier defense on the other side, a field flipping punter, and a kicker good from 60+ you might have a chance. But that means you basically have to recreate Saban's Bama in the NFL and that's impossible... and Bryce couldn't win a championship in that environment either. What the Panthers didn't realize when they got so obsessed with his "PG mentality" was that what they were looking st was a "barely checks the box PG". The basketball equivalent of Bryce would be an undersized PG with marginal athleticism who can make the basic plays but adds nothing to the team in terms of elevating the overall team. Not a great shooter, not a great defender, not a great driver. Just a guy who can basically get you into the offense and be a matador on defense. Basically a placeholder while you look to upgrade the PG position.
