Speculation is Cam will start after the bye.

Makes sense.  He will have missed 4 games and roughly 6.5 weeks.  I would think had they not thought he would be back around then they would have opted for IR.

I think everyone's concern will be his conditioning, both physical and mental (i.e. being up to processing at game-speed).

We need him back truly at 100% and able to do the things in the passing and running game we are used to seeing.

We really can't afford Cam the time to "knock off rust" once he returns.

Our first game back is at SF (currently the only unbeaten NFC team) in what will be a hostile environment.  The schedule doesn't get easier from that point on through the end of the year playing the Saints.

I know there has been speculation that Cam might be out all year or as few as 6 weeks. Seems the current speculation is for a week 8 return.

Looks like that game is on October 27th....26 days from now.

I wonder how many days of practice Cam will need to get under his belt before he is 110% prepared to play from a reps & fitness perspective?

5?  10?  15?  More?

I think he is mentally done. It just feels more like he is going through the motions. He is not the same, swag and drip QB we have seen the last 8 years.

Being hurt will do that to you.

Cam will feel good once he’s playing well

Cam is a complicated person and nobody like you or me have the professional expertise to evaluate him mentally. I just think he has matured a lot and being hurt so much has probably humbled him. There has probably never been a time in his life where he wasn't the best player on the field. He just isn't used to it and accepting that cant be easy. I expect him to come back and be the Cam of old once he is truly ready

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By fanpanther · Posted

      the one thing this post has suprised me with is how much support there still is for young.  i dont understand why.  we had qbs before him that went to superbowls that lost support way quicker.  thr only qb we had had that started any number of games that played worse than young is clausen.  allen and moore played better and yet people still support him makes 0 sense to me

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      Again, can’t have a serious discussion if constantly wading through hyperbole. And you say that’s not really what was meant, but I tried to at one point get some folks to concede that he was physically capable of throwing a football 20yds just so we could get to a real discussion and they stuck with it. So I’m not sure your characterization is entirely accurate.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      And this is his third year. As far as people not understanding things, I am not sure people accept how difficult it is to remake yourself from the ground up. Which he absolutely has to do to compete successfully at the NFL level.  He takes a step forward with the footwork and a step back when he is stressed and reverts to what always worked for him before. I will say it yet again, anyone that reached a level of success with their self taught technique but needed to rebuild to break through the limitations that imposed, will understand this. I don’t care what specific activity it is the same challenge. Muscle memory and comfort level fight against the new moves you are trying to train yourself to do without thinking.  He is there. There is a ceiling with his technique that is too low for the NFL. He has to retrain himself.  We are in the third year and I guess we are supposed believe that he will be so good  when he finally gets to where the new will be second nature, that we have to wait (how many more years) for him to finish doing it. If he ever finishes.  The sad fact is he will not succeed at the NFL level with his horrible college footwork and compensation moves like the tippy toe drop backs. He just won’t.  If he can’t put that on the table for us, we would be foolish to not seek an alternative plan.
