Lost in the big news today.. are we suppose to read into this as he expects cam to be back with the team next hear? I'm seeing him say more things that point in that direction than the more overwhelming hes done and out the door-already talking to Chicago nonsense from earlier. Just based off the comments I have heard him say, not based on what the"experts" are hearing.

In terms of Cam long term here the more telling thing to me is actually the "5 years to be consistent winner" comment....

Yea...that's not a thing if you have your franchise QB already in place....that's the writing I see on the wall. With Cam and a competent draft we're back out and winning. But it also does seem to me like Tepper may like the idea of Cam on a cheap 1 year deal to see what it looks like with S. Turner at OC and if it works out then great.

Maybe the reason he retained Hurney is for not making the 36 million dollar mistake? Who knows at this point, but everyone is under the microscope from this point forward.

Here is how I look at it:  If Cam were playing on another team and was released or put on the trading block, and he had not  been healthy for 2 seasons + and has not won a game in in his last 8, would I offer him a $20m per year deal to play for my team?

That would be a big ole bowl of NOPE.

Cam is not a pitcher in baseball.  Wins and losses is not a QB stat.

The Franchise hopes his foot and shoulder will be good.

 

The Franchise is very doubtful that will be the case.

 

These two things are not mutually exclusive.

Yep.

Best chance we've got of winning is a healthy Cam. They know this. 

The chances of Cam coming back healthy are slim. They know this too.

As to his comments regarding Newton, I'd agree that they're based more in hope than in reality. If I were applying them to real life, I might say I sure hope this lottery ticket I bought gets me a million dollars but I'd better keep working at my job just in case.

On the flipside, the comments about Rome not being built in a day, a new head coach not being a savior and that maybe it takes five years to build a consistent winner all sound like Tepper is prepared for a rough stretch of rebuilding. And no, that likely doesn't include Newton.

it really does suck to think that crappy Bucs game is gonna be the last image we have of him in a Panther uniform, but unfortunately that's probably true.

Precisely where I stand.

Hope is great and all, but it don't win football games.

    • As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.
    • He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.
    • Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.
