Glazer sez Cam is "refusing to run".

By that logic, Eli Manning is a better player than Saquon Barkley.

Career-wise or currently? Because both are landslides, just in opposite directions.

Currently.

(look back at the comparison I was referencing)

Yeah, who gets the ball to McCaffrey? Hmmmmmm

Who missed Samuel all over the field?  

Come on, man, short passes to McCaffrey who is amazing after the catch is not the same airing it down field.

Give McCaffrey his due. He deserves it! No one was qualifying Cam when he came into the league tearing it up.

Yeah, but if Cam is sooooo off McCaffrey doesn't get those record receiving yards.

If a RB is your best player (not) your in big trouble.

Not really.

It's not at all unusual for the quarterback to not be the best player on the team. You just need them to be good.

I love me some #22 but that best player tag is premature. He hasn't done anything yet. When you're 4 and inches an NFL RB worth his salt gets that.

I think they are featuring him in order to drive Cams value down. Is it Norv or the FO that's all I want to know.

True (Jake Delhomme) but miserably true.

The 90s Cowboys won three Super Bowls with Troy Aikman as their quarterback.

Aikman was good, but pretty much nobody would list him as a better player than Emmitt Smith or Michael Irvin. Heck, if you looked at the full roster, Aikman might not even be in the top five to ten best players.

That's one example of many.

Aikman was damn good, quite a bit above average.

The notion that you're in trouble if your quarterback isn't your best player has no merit.

I don't agree with that. To say Aikman wasn't in the Top 10 best Cowboys of their 90s dynasty is a real stretch. He is probably in the Top 10 ALL-time Cowboys and very easily the 2nd most impactful player of that dynasty.

Not what I said, I said if your RB is your best player.

He doesn’t have to be on it if he fully participates in practices and is going to play in the game.

The NFL Injury Report rules are WAY more nuanced than this.

There are widespread assertions that Cam is clearly injured to the point people are saying he should take a year off to get right --- if this were remotely true Cam would be listed on both the Practice and Game Status injury reports.

Irvin and Smith were both better, and those teams had some really good players on defense (Charles Haley, Leon Lett and Deion Sanders among them).

I'm by no means an Aikman detractor, though.
