Pumped up about the preseason kicking off tonight. So much to look for in terms of depth in certain positions, and the development of some of the young guys.

Just a reminder: One month from today, Cam will suit up for his first regular season game since his shoulder surgery.

And that got me thinking: this guy is already in year nine. 

So here’s a little something I put together. Nothing fancy. Just a few of my favorite moments from a truly fascinating football player. 

I hope it resonates with you guys.

Good feedback. The concept was the old vet jogging onto the fields of training camp, with a chronology of big plays running thru his mind. 

I see your point, tho. Good feedback. 

For that try a slow-mo close up of QB1 with a transparent montage.  That might create the desired effect.

I wish I had my tools (Adobe...my computer...etc) for this, but I slapped this together on Luma Fusion like a sociopath while sitting for a few hours at my kids school registration extravaganza. (Good times)

I could see the concept, and I like it. Just a bit frustrating to see a play you know is a touchdown fade out before the ball crosses the line....lol

No need to downplay what you got here.  It's awesome.  Just adding my vid/edit eye 2 cents to the convo.  You obviously know what you're doin.

My background is in radio. I’m just getting into this video production nonsense as a hobby. It’s tedious, and fun...and my hat’s off to guys like  LilSmitty. It’s a labor of love to do this thing to the level that he does it. 

Kevin over at the RR it is damn good too. In any event, it was fun putting it together on a whim.

Still can’t believe this year 9 for Cam. For all the haters out there, this guy has produced some great moments.

Not to get corny here, but that was sort of a judgment call on my part artistically. Good Lord, now we’re gearing into a sad territory LOL. Sorry guys, let’s grab a cold beer and enjoy some football tonight.

I appreciate that. Amazingly, with kids screaming in the background and doing it all on a iPhone, I thoroughly enjoyed it. 

Now if you wanna talk about quality content, here you have it. Whoever shot this video deserves an Emmy.

IMO Cam's just getting into his prime years as a QB, with sports science where it is now. I bet he'll play into his late 30s. IDK if he'll play as long as Brees/Brady seem to be going though.

He's had a bit of an up and down ride for the first half of his career. But in that 8 years he's: 

  • Won Rookie of the Year
  • Won MVP
  • 3 Pro Bowl Nominations
  • Has won 56% of games he played (regular season)
  • Carried a young small market franchise to its best season and 2nd super bowl berth
  • Already broken the record for QB total rushing TDs , and well on his way to outstripping Cunningham and Vick as the all time leader in total QB rushing yards
  • Amassed 240 total touchdowns 
  • Got almost 30,000 passing yards and almost 5000 rushing yards, which is particularly bonkers

If he doubles his current numbers by the end of his career or wins a SB within a few more seasons he's pretty much sure fire HoFer IMO.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion in Here)

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Totally.  They had a guy starred on their boards that made it in trade worthy range. The risk was totally worth it.  Our case was the classic of a franchise not having a QB, do what you can to get one.  That often results being thrust into a bad situation, putting crazy pressure on 1 guy, and it becomes even worse when he's not that great.  But if we find ourselves just a few spots behind a guy we really like, I don't see a problem.   We just have to see how the season shakes out and enjoy this roller coaster.  It's not pretty at times but we somehow are 5-4 haha. If Bryce turns a page and cranks out some truly QB driven wins, then maybe we do consider just rolling with him and a Dalton replacement in 2026.  Someone like a Jarrett Stidham/Tanner McKee.   However, if he stays mostly the same (whether we fall apart or he struggles on/off but we still win some), I think you have to leave to door open for a QB in the draft.  Scout and meet with the top ones, see if any really fit what D&D want.  Maybe that guy could be Mateer.  Who knows

      Young QBs lead their teams to undefeated October

      I lived in that area for a minute, and 2 decades of BB and Brady made them delusional.  They think everyone is the 2nd coming of Brady and they're just on a short coffee break til the next dynasty.

      Bryce Young hasn't cleared 200 passing yards in a single game in that window.  Meanwhile, Rico Dowdle has put together the greatest 5 game stretch of rushing production in Panthers history.   And RBs have sort of been our thing, so there is ample competition.  This team hasn't been lead by Bryce Young in that stretch. Those wins are simplistically 3 things.  Schedule, Rico, and defense.
