Had we won SB50 he would have been much higher. But alas

Yeah, that is pretty much it. That's why Big Ben is ahead of him, that SB. 

With that title, Cam might be top 4 on that list. But, we are also talking about an alternate reality where he wasn't healthy for three straight years too.

You think Cam is better than Ben .. but you think that the Panthers should move on from Cam when he's 30 .. yet Ben will be the starter of the well-run Steelers organization at age 38 ..

Ben has taken just as much of a beating in his career as Cam, and has had some injuries .. but yes, let's just get rid of Cam who's better than Be, when Ben's team still wants Ben

Eh, IDK about that. I'd include him in the top tier of NFL QB's for the decade, without question. It helps to be on one of the most successful franchises in the NFL but that also leads to a chicken/egg scenario.

Yeah, Ben has actually taken a shelling over his career. He actually did some of the things Cam is currently doing to add some longevity. He slimmed down and stopped scrambling as frequently.

Where did I say I thought the Steelers should hang on to Roethlisberger?

You make some reaches that Plastic Man couldn't handle.

The Steelers limited the number of passes he threw for a few years there.

Mind you, that was a while ago.

      In addition to Evero there's one large change that likely should happen.

      It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.

      CBS Sports brief discussion about questionable Canales decision making

      By TylerDurden · Posted

      Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
