My feelings exactly... and I want Teddy to succeed.

It hurt me to move on from Delhomme, and I knew he was washed up.

It's hard to believe in a football world where a healthy Cam wasn't worth keeping.  And beyond that, Cam as a presence will take years to replace.  If ever.

And as good a player as CMC is, he ain't that guy.  Neither was Peppers, and he's a 1st ballot HOF.  Or Kuechly.  Or anyone else.

The only guy that came close was Smitty, and he wasn't a QB.

Truth is, every time I think I'm over Cam, I see something like this and realize I'm not.  It sucks

You don't want exciting from a QB.  You want consistency.

Yeah, consistent "average Joe" just doesn't get it done in today's NFL. Back in the 80s and 90s? Sure. You could win Super Bowls with average consistent QBs backed with a solid running game and protected by a stout D. The NFL wants high flying big scoring offenses though because that's what excites the casual viewer and they've kept changes the rules and will keep changing the rules to get it. Adapt or die. If you don't have a QB capable of putting up 30+ TDs you don't have a shot. The Chiefs didn't give Mahomes half a billion because of consistency. They gave him that because he's a guy who can turn a two score 4th quarter deficit into a two score Super Bowl win.

Yeah I hope for his sake (and the team's) that he kills it and becomes a great QB.  But there is literally nothing less exciting to me than that picture.  I feel like we have a Nick Foles or Ryan Tannehill at QB.  Aka, he could work (for a few weeks), and only if the team around him does the heaviest of lifting.

Yeah, with CMC I feel like Teddy's ceiling could potentially be Tannehill level. Unfortunately, our D is a far cry from the Titans'. Meanwhile, Tannehill has thrown for 17+ TDs in every season since his rookie season including 4 20+ TD seasons. Teddy's career best is 14. That's the reality. Teddy having a run of the mill season for Tannehill would require his career best. Miami may have ended up moving on from Tannehill, but in all honesty he's been an absolute stud compared to Teddy.

      What top 10 prospect do you absolutely NOT want?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Yep, I always said the best way to use him in the NFL is as a full time CB, and then get 8-12 offensive snaps a game. Half those snaps he's out there as a decoy so the defense doesn't know where the ball is going every time he's on the field, the other have are play calls with him as the first read, and likely trying to get it into his hands quickly to let him make plays with his athleticism.  That also would mean he needs less practice time on offense too, as he's not trying to get his routes/timing down with the QB as he'd be running a bunch of quick hitter routes or screens to get it in his hands. How NFL GM's didn't see this is beyond me (or maybe some did and it's why the Browns traded the pick and it was just the Jags who were dumb enough to think he'd be able to play both ways full time at an elite level.

      Also reading this thread again and seeing that was a clear WoahCam alt, it really makes me wish he was still around to hear his takes on how "his guys" are doing this year. Shedeur can't beat out Gabriel for the #2 job behind old man Flacco, Hunter is struggling on offense and doesn't have a clear role, while T-Mac is proving to be exactly who I said he was and the guy WoahCam was very much down on for a while until he said he was coming around on him, lol

      Yeah, it really seems like they made that move legitimately expecting him to be a two way player which is just crazy. You just can't be a two way player in the modern NFL. The obvious approach with Hunter was to have him focus on being a CB first and basically motivate him by telling him that the better you play on defense and the more comfortable you are on the field there, the more comfortable we're going to be putting more on your plate by carving out a bigger piece for you on offense but likely always limiting that to maybe 10-12 snaps a game at most on offense. Starting him out primarily at WR was just insane. At least they quickly saw that and adjusted but they really blew it with the off-season/preseason approach and it's causing Hunter to play catch up.
