This is not a very bright idea. The Republican Party just showed us again why testing alone does NOT prevent the spread of the virus. The leadership of our country and the NFL are similar in the worst of ways.

Cam had more talent his rookie year, and a better o line

OL isn't usually considered a weapon.  Cam had better OLs than what we have now for sure. He also had worse.

Rookie year may be better but that is IMO debatable and there was definitely a drop off after that year since that team relied on so many aging pieces in Smith, Shockey, and Double Trouble. Remember that teams 2nd and 3rd receiver were Donald "Oh wee mayne" Lafell and Legedu Naanee... had worse RBs, but way better TEs... so to me its close.  Rookie cam was a delight to watch though.

Uh no

 

TB has Anderson and CMC

cam has had 2 1k recovers and a 1k back in one season...

hes has smitty, Shockey, Stewart, Kb who was dominant at least one year, cmc and Olsen for multiple years

and you compare that to moore(who cam has too) Anderson and cmc (who cam has to)?

im guessing his coaching the oline and refs all of a sudden are better too huh? Strange how it all that happened in one seasons and tb has more weapons than cam ever did lol

Can fanboy logic at its finest oline is garbage but better than cam ever got and most weapons too!!1 good grief

I am in no way a cam fan boy lol.

So a team who has not missed any game’s due to Covid would get a 2-4 week break prior to the post season starting?  Seems a little counter productive to maintaining competitive integrity.

2-4 wasn't my number but does appear NFL is considering adding on a week-18:

    • He’s set financially for life barring complete fiscal lunacy. He has $12.3 million guaranteed. Think about that. Twelve million three hundred thousand dollars, he’ll be 28 years old when his contract is up and he’s completely forgotten about if he never plays another down in the NFL if he so chooses. Say after taxes he ‘only’ brings home $6M (fire your accountant territory) and parks $4M in a run of the mill mutual fund… good God… What I’m getting at, IF homie ain’t feeling the NFL, he has 12,300,000 reasons to take the fewest NFL edition ass kickings as possible while waiting out his very wealthy non-football future.  Obviously completely talking out of my a$$ with this… but if you hated contact, didn’t want to live with a completely wrecked body for the rest of your life and you know you’re set financially… what path would you take, assuming you’re cool with being a quitter (not calling him a quitter, I’m just playing out a scenario)? Why do so many first rounders bust? Where was he before his one year wonder if he was such a stud?  Everybody likes the dude on a personal level. How could you not? …. but I like seeing a winning product even more. He doesn’t play like his head is in the game. The Why is where the speculation lies and helps to clarify if his issues are ‘fixable’ or not. 
    • Fantasy tiers? Who gives a fug
    • Very likely that he needs another season or two to really find his groove.  It very well may not be here where he has his best season. He’s a physical standout, but he can’t seem to get his focus and mentality right. That non-catch where he didn’t get his second foot in bounds was a truly awful display of this. Every professional in this game makes that catch.  Last week, it was clear that he wasn’t playing in top gear.  Like so many young people these days, he wants success without working hard.  He wants maximum reward for minimum effort. He wants to rest on talent. But talent alone won’t cut it.  The foolishness of youth and inexperience.  He can have it all if he wants it.  Seems like he’s content to be a social media star and a forgettable football player.
