Should I Listen to Bill, or Todd Bowles the DC We Destroyed in 2015

I'd wanna prop up Kyle Allen to after Newton did this with a bunch of no name / considered bust receivers. People really forget how good a healthy Cam is. Ginn / Brown / Cotchery / Olse / Funchess (rookie)

 

Oh yeah, and the other time we faced Bowles with a healthy Cam... :thinking:

 

 

I mean facts do matter...not sure you really remember that game since you are pimping it as Cam owning Bowles.

Cam completed 39% of his passes for 168 yards, no passing TDs.  3 sacks and a fumble.  His worst game of the season.  He did add 28 yards on the ground and a score though. 

Jets had our O figured out and stopped.

I remember in 2014 after a few good games.. Ppl thought KB was a good replacement for Smitty..

Hey we've been undefeated and strong run game since Daryl Williams took over for Turner at RG

 

Guess we should extend Williams and get rid of Williams too!

From October 1st, regarding the now fired Jay Gruden...

Belichick is notorious for building up opponents. If you asked him about Eric Washington, he'd probably describe him as a great defensive coordinator.

That's not to say any of his compliments are invalid, mind you, but you've got to be kind of careful about going by what Belichick says.

Not saying you're wrong, but what is Bill's record against Cam? 9nly way that they could stop him was a cheap shot/late hit to the back in preseason. Beyond that, they had no real answer for him. Maybe that's the reason Cam was considered public enemy#1?

Only way he could be stopped was late hits and cheap shots (that the refs and league allowed) and he was only limited by Shula, no name receivers, and a barely existing OL.

The media and league and a significant segment of our own fanbase never liked him and wanted him to fail. He was far better than anyone thought and the only way he was going to be stopped was through constant abuse of his body through illegal, late, and cheap shots which went unpenalized for far too long under the rationale that 1) he's big enough that he can take it 2) he needs to be knocked down a few pegs and 3) he wasn't old enough. 

Cam was the most lethal QB in the league because there had never been anyone like him and his talents were wasted on a bad and mismanaged team.

Allen is good.... so far, but he's no Cam.

Does not being Cam equal being bad, though?

There are an awful lot of quarterbacks that the NFL perceives as being successful who are also not Cam. if you're going to make that the standard for declaring whether Kyle Allen is good or not, I think I can guess the conclusion.

Honestly, that's probably part of the issue with the scenarios here.

We've got people whose whole premise is that if he can't do what Newton does, he's never going to be as good. Reality is that there are a pretty good number of quarterbacks in the league who can't or don't do what Newton does but still manage to win a lot of games.

You have to look at it objectively.

I think Allen is an ok QB and a decent fit for the system. I don't think he's a star. Cam was a guy you build a team around (that we should have done a better job of) because of the skillset he brings. Allen is a guy you plug into a system and hope he does well enough.

I am not, nor have I said, he's bad. I'm just not ready to crown him. As I've said before, he seems like a good enough game manager, but not much more than that. 

He's a good story, but I don't see him as a guy you can put the team on his back the way that Cam and Jake did. At least not yet I don't.

This is BS.. It doesn't have to be the same way Cam did it..  If Kyle was playing like Kurt Warner when he took over for Trent Green this isn't even a debate.. If Kyle was a elite passer and we can see him carry a team (like a Cam, Russell, Rodgers) this isn't a debate.. Some ppl here can see when a team is carrying a QB or vice-versa..

It comes down to is Kyle more of a Andy Dalton or can he be a Phillp Rivers type QB.. We don't know.. But reality is when healthy you have a guy who has proven he is a QB who can carry a team..

    • Not in same league. Caldwell just hit a 10.00 on the RAS. 2nd out of 3830 from 1987 onward.  https://x.com/MathBomb/status/2027885023387349047 Yeah I mean Louis had a sub 9.00 RAS. Still very very good, no doubt. Louis is small, no 2 ways about it. He is likely a sub package lb in nickel packages or specialized WLB. Be fine ST gunner to start for sure. 6 foot flat and 220lb is pushing it for a starting LB. At 10 to 20lbs less than the other LBs he'd better be closer to the top in most timed drills. He's gonna be challenged when some of the wrs in the class can matchup bigger stronger faster, much less TE in the run game.  Yeah instinct matter and he has them, but that size is a massive red flag compared to many of the other LBS in this class.    Rodriguez is the LB that really climbed this week from a pure grit guy to great flash with athleticism people wrote off cause he was a QB at first at UVA. 18.4mph in the backpedal. Production the last 2 years were great. I'd be thrilled with him as the future mike.   Hill likely moved out of 51 and into the top 45 picks ( Ravens at 45 I can't imagine don't bite if he makes it there). Honestly Hill imo is a 1st rounder and I'd be ok with him as he fits the MLB we have missed the last few years. People would crow it's a reach but he's top 30 all-time I'm RAS for a LB at 9.9+ . Plus he was big time in big games when he was healthy. And that br a big check: meds. 
    • Miller, Melo, Coby, Moose, and Bridges all on the floor at the same time must be a nightmare for defenses lol. Switch one out for Kon and still a nightmare. Coby really does bring a true 6th man value and looks like he could start if Melo was out after only a few games of getting his feet wet.
