They’d both still be here in their prime if not for injuries. That’s the cold hard reality of this sport. There’s really nothing we could’ve done differently for them to avoid the injuries.

I think playing Cam through a very obvious shoulder injury didn't help matters in the least.

Complete failure to adequately invest in OL protection for the qb while making him play in an offensive scheme that called for him to hold the ball while long, slow developing pass patterns meandered down the field punctuated by designed runs that didn’t do his body any favors.

Yeah, Luke unfortunately just has the concussionitis. Nothing you can do about that, except what he did, which is the right decision to retire. So, I can't say they should both be on the team, because that was beyond anyone's prediction or control.

Cam? Cam wasn't squandered. Cam was used and abused until he was utterly destroyed. In a just world, at this moment, he'd be in the middle of a ten-year contract, healthy, and getting in shape to chase his second championship.

This OL thing is a total myth. We’ve had a mostly average line during Cam’s career, some years a little worse, some years a little better. Wilson in Seattle has had a worse OL his whole career than Cam. Cam was hit in the pocket on plays that every single QB in the league gets hit on every year as well. His mindset of wanting to extend every single play as long as possible didn’t always help either. Watch how Brady turtles in the pocket when he sees a hit coming. Cam has never and will never do that, it’s not in his nature. With that comes big highlight reel escape plays for TD, etc. but then also a greater chance of injury.

Shula was terrible but those plays didn’t get Cam hurt, they just stalled the offense.

Cam’s skillset lends itself to those types of QB running plays if you want to get the most out of him. Take that away to “protect him” and he wouldn’t be nearly as good of a player. He wouldn’t be an MVP, he wouldn’t be a threat every time he stepped on the field. He would’ve been average at best. That would be completely retarded to put reins on a talent of his caliber. We had to let him be himself or he’d have never worked out.

Blame the team all you want but the reality is there are many different factors and by far the biggest is just simple bad luck.

I really wonder why Ron and Co. aren't called out more for this.

Despite the flaws in Ron’s coaching and our rosters the single greatest reason this group fell short is because the NFL wanted Peyton Manning to get his retirement trophy in SB50.
 

They head hunted Cam all night with no flags, took away our momentum with the Cotchery catch and Denver was offsides on both of our missed field goals. It was a rigged game to keep Cam being the star of the NFL. They even had the balls to let Denver do the same poo in the rematch in 16. I’ll take that to my grave that they didn’t allow us to compete the way we should have. 
 

We win that SB and a lot this looks way different.

      From what i see, Canales offense requires a QB that is willing to take chances to maximize the offense. XL is also the kind of receiver that needs a qb to be risky to bring out his full potential. Its just a matter of if Bryce is gonna be that QB.

      Baker just played how Baker played.... everywhere but here. He is a risk taking gunslinger.  Always has been.  And last year was asked to be what he was.   Geno Smith was the best deep ball passer in the NFL his comeback season.  Wasn't even close that year.  Again, that's the type passer Canales has always been around in the offenses he has been part of.  The pass game that compliments the stubborn run is the deep chunk play pass game.   And that was his first investment with XL.  My continued point, is the same as going into last season.  It's a bad marriage going in.  The QB doesn't fit the scheme.  Again.  Carrol/Fox/Ron....all paired up their boring football with risk taking QBs.  And again, I'm fine if that is where we are going.  It's not my preference but that's not my argument.  I'm saying if we are doing that, we need a QB that matches it.

      I guess you missed the point. His rushing attack was dead last yet his team still performed. That’s not Fox/Rivera ball. His QB also had a career year. Remember the same QB that played for us in the same division and was so bad he was cut?  Carroll coached after Lynch as well. In fact Canales was more involved in the more recent offense with Geno Smith and a good rushing attack. People are taking him wanting a rushing attack and assuming that means we are shutting down our passing attack. Again many of the top offenses like SF, Miami, and Detroit featured strong rushing attacks.
