I hope I'm wrong, but I think Cam's career might be over.

It's not a good sign when the team that drafted you cuts you loose, with time remaining on your contract

It's not a good sign when you have no trade value (regardless of "leverage" or whatever anyone wants to say)

It's not a good sign when you haven't won a game in your last 8 starts

It's not a good sign when you've missed 16 games in the last two seasons due to injury

It's not a good sign when your throwing shoulder has sustained multiple injuries and surgeries, and you haven't been able to practice a full schedule in years

It's not a good sign when you're having emotional breakdowns on Instagram on the regular

Now, Cam is a baller, and I know we'd all love to see him bounce back from this. But I just don't see it. Even without the pandemic and quarantines, it's uncertain if he would pass a physical. While he brings talent and potential to any team that signs him, he also comes with a monumental amount of baggage. I wouldn't be surprised if he isn't on a roster when training camp begins, whenever that is....

I think someone will offer him a contract...it'll be up to him if he wants to take a low 'prove it' figure from a team that offers it to him...and it might be potentially to be a back-up or a serious fight for being the starter.

I'd agree.

Panthers screwed him out of a starting job. He will likely have to wait for another starter to get injured for him to get another starting job.

Right now he only has 2 options Chargers/Patriots neither have the cap space to sign him either.

Look for him to get healthy then wait for that key injury at QB.

No trade value when all teams know we’re just going to release him anyway. His career is only over if he chooses it is. 

If there had been any interest prior to the Bridgwater signing he would have been traded.

Herein lies the problem.  This has been said ad nauseam.

Most teams are not going to sign a player with baggage.  Antonio Brown is fantastic, but he's out of an NFL job.  Backup QB is a job where you need to have your head down and almost be invisible.  That's not going to work for every player.

Cam and AB's 'baggage' aren't remotely comparable

I think Cam's biggest problem is that he could never be a backup QB.  His personality is just too big.  We've heard for years that his teammates love his leadership.  Unfortunately, that's the last thing you want from a backup QB.  It would divide your locker room.  

Also, how could any QB be comfortable as a starter when your backup is CAM FREAKING NEWTON.  The guy is frankly a legend.

I feel bad for how this has all gone down.  If this is the end of his career, he deserved MUCH better.

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

      Watching those throws Drake Maye was making on a dead run threading lasers into tight coverage on the sidelines over and over in that game against the Bills... these people need to go watch that and be honest with themselves.

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

      why rig the scenario with the "as a passer" tag.   I mean, I assume you do that because Bryce needs help in the argument.  If we are just talking players and no contacts?   I mean, give me Young over Russell Wilson.   That's it.   I'd put him on par w/ Penix, Fields, McCarthy and Rattler,  so that's a wash.  Give me everyone else over Bryce.  And I'm not handicapping the other players as passing only because when you start doing that it's really meaningless.

      McCarthy to date, for sure. That's a very early sample size, however. Russell Wilson is a backup. Not sure Wilson wouldn't be better suited to our offense specifically, but at the bare minimum it's basically a wash. Hurts I would generally disagree with. I do think Hurts is likely to be less than stellar in our offense. Justin Fields - Agree. Fields is a significant threat on the ground but he sees the field as badly or worse than Bryce. And that's with significantly more reps. Spencer Rattler - I honestly thought this would be an easier call that it is. TBH, right now Rattler looks a lot better. Really almost across the board. Kyler - Murray is better. Basically across the board. Not significantly better, mind you. Trevor Lawrence is more debatable than it seems. Low completion percentages, tons of TO's.....he really has been quite bad this year in Jax. He is considerably more talented than Bryce but the results have been marginally better. Tua - Tua is a little more dynamic of a player but he is a TO machine. Tend to agree. Caleb Williams. Not sure on this. Williams is still struggling to be consistent but his upper end is WAY higher than Bryce. He shows it fairlu frequently, as well. Probably would rather be working through Caleb's issues than Bryce. Penix - 100%. This guy stinks. Cam Ward. This is a little tough. Again, far higher ceiling on Ward and he shows flashes but it's been a mess there in Tenn. Probably lean towards Bryce here.
