Still too early

 

 

Im curious, if Cam can get healthy and we can protect him.  Will Cam be the best African American QB when he decides to hang it up

Of the ones who have won NFL MVPs since 1980

Warren Moon- 1 MVP, 17 seasons, 291-233 TD/int, 80.9 passer rating, 58.4 comp%, 22 rushing TDs, 

Randall Cunningham- 1 MVP, 16 seasons, 207-134 TD/int, 81.5 passer rating, 56.6 comp %,  35 rushing TDs

Steve McNair- 1 MVP, 13 seasons, 174-119 TD/int, 82.8 passer rating, 60.1 comp %, 37 rushing TDs

 

 

Cam- 1 MVP, 8 seasons, 182-107 TD/int, 86.4 passer rating, 59.7 comp %, 58 rushing TDs

Trying to understand out why the hell this matters....

Seriously. white RB...black QB.....hispanic HC...who gives a poo? I guess it's cool to be a team that goes against stereotypical limitations, but the point of doing that is to show that the color of the skin or heritage doesn't matter. Its just guys playing football and there are no limits to what you can do regardless of who you are or what you look like, so why try to classify and put them in boxes like that?

How can you ask this question when it’s only his third year? Give the dude some time to show he can consistently put up big numbers then we can talk about it.

You would have to put Larry Csonka at or near the top of the list. Riggins is another one. Game was a lot different back then.

I couldn’t care less about race, just production. However it is definitely interesting looking at how few white RBs there are compared to pretty much every other position.

And then take a peak at CB....

Doesn't ruffle my feathers. Just something novel to talk about. I get it.

In answer to your question... Ask it in about five more years at the earliest. Then, we'll actually have a body of work so that we can compare apples to apples. By then, he just may be one of the best backs (period) in NFL history from some respects.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      You joke, but it can always be worse. He might walk with a limp or need assistance. Different sport, but Lonzo Ball couldn't even walk up steps a year after his injury.

      Brooks RB, Placed on PUP, Out for 2025

      By Icege · Posted

      I mean... a lot of the information that could've helped set better expectations has always been out there: There was no RB on the team under contract for the 2025 - 2026 season except for Miles Sanders. The team did not have a second round pick going into the 2025 season due to the trade for Young. Chuba's extension did not happen until the beginning of November. Jonathon Brooks was the clear RB1 in the class with a massive gap between RB1 & RB2. Example: Dane Brugler had Brooks as RB1, overall #48; Blake Corum was RB2, #81 overall. The Giants held pick #47 and had just lost Saquon Barkley to the Eagles in free agency. They were going to take Brooks had the Panthers not jumped in front of them. So if we're framing things with that context: Chuba was expected to be RB1 Miles (at the time) was RB2 Brooks was essentially RB3, stashed for rehab in 2024 with a long runway. The original injury occurred Nov 2023 while the re-injury occurred December 2024. That is right in the high-risk window for recurrence, especially in explosive athletes. The fact that it also happened on a non-contact play suggests possible biomechanical issues such as muscle imbalance, rather than a failed surgery (or bad decision-making).   NFL teams invest heavily in medically vetting prospects. If there had been a clear red flag in imaging or recovery markers, the team is going to find it. This sucks and the Panthers have sucked, yes, but this wasn't blind optimism or malpractice by the front office. It was a calculated decision based on the roster, draft capital, positional scarcity, etc.

      Clowney released

      Yep, but they can all rotate with Brown, Brown and Robinson (sounds like a law firm). Can't continue to have Derrick Brown out there for 90+ percent of the defensive snaps. An injury was bound to happen.
