We’ve all watched Cam for almost the last decade. Anyone who says he hasn’t lost some arm strength and throwing ability is either blind or naive. 

I don’t think his skills have degraded to the point where it warrants a replacement

Was he really that bad? He just seemed a bit rusty to me and he's acknowledged that himself.

The biggest worry for me was the amount of times he found himself staring at a rampaging blue shirt; he really wasn't protected particularly well.

Eh idk if the oline was the problem.  Cam seemed to miss throw’s he’d usually make.  Weird game.

Cam actually played slightly better than Goff statistically 

Cam definitely looked like a better player than Goff.  Doesn't mean I can forgive missing the wide open targets.  When Goff did it it felt very inconsequential.  When Cam did it, they were backbreakers that killed drives.

I've seen you posting the same drivel in different threads.

Where's this ire from you about the wasted drives in the first half stalled by mind numbingly predictable run plays up the middle for little or no gain? Multiple drives we would get a nice completion on first and piss the drive away with a no gain run on second that put the offense in third and long. Did you see the Rams putting themselves in that position?

Yes, I did.  I also saw the Rams converting on 3rd down over, and over, and over, and over, while our offense couldn't manage to convert a 3rd and 3 or longer...

Sean McVay. That's why he's only 33 years old and has already coached in his first Super Bowl.

I will say that though our offensive line played better than I expected, third downs were rough for both the OL, and Cam. There were a couple of plays where Cam got the snap and basically immediately got smothered.

Either you can be a glass half full kind of fan and expect Newton to come out firing against the Bucs on Thursday. Or you can be just another miserable glass half empty rabble rouser who spends countless hours huffing and puffing about how bad Cam Newton is.

Glass has been half-full for about 8 years now.  Kinda getting old waiting on the damn thing to fill all the way up...

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Do you even know what the term "below average" means? Because I'm genuinely not sure if you do. There are 32 QB's in the league, which means to be playing "above average" he'd have to be the 15th best QB at the league, and even then, that's in essence the "average NFL QB" still. Even going by these rankings, which have him 20th, that by itself is the definition of "below average", and that's before you consider there are multiple QB's ranked below him in this list that I'd 100% trade him for in a heartbeat. Again, no matter what you think the eye test tells you, he's made 28 starts and has a grand total of FOUR games over 247 yards.  Drake Maye has made 10 starts, all with a significantly worse group of pass catchers than Bryce has had, and he already has 3 games over that number himself. I don't need to see or know anything else beyond that to determine he is a below average QB in this league so far and I don't know how anyone can honestly argue against that.  If he was a Lamar Jackson type putting up 75+ yards rushing on a consistent basis, then you can look at those passing yards differently, but that's not the case here. Could he still improve and get to average or better?  Of course. But you're trying to extrapolate a few throws/drives/moments from a handful of games and trying to say that makes him even an average, if not above average, QB in this league.  Which is just nonsense when the players you're comparing him to have played at that level for full seasons or their entire careers.

      Who says no to the following.  Trade KK and Morrow for a draft pick of some sort.  Sign the following:  Bennett 8m AAV Ekblad 8m AAV Boeser 7.5m AAV Marner 13m AAV Cap numbers work after the trade of KK and Morrow.
