All of you were right about Cam

I think we all have fond memories of Cam diving into the endzone, juking multiple defenders, blasting through DBs, chucking bombs down field, and scrambling out of what would have been a sure sack for any other QB. The reality is that a QB Cam's size who runs a lot will probably have a short career.

I wanted Cam to stay here for the final year of his contract because I felt like he deserved a "prove it" year. If he was bad, then we simply don't offer another contract. But that would have been the wrong decision because Teddy was in free agency, and we only had one shot at bringing him here. We needed to act immediately by moving on from Cam and securing our QB for the future.

In my plan we'd be losing with a washed up Cam in his final year of contract and eyeing Lawrence in the draft. Not the end of the world, but I like Rhule's plan better.

The only thing I disagree with you on is that I don't think TB is the answer for the future.

I don't want Cam to be done, and I don't think his shoulder looked bad for the quarter and a half I watched, but he threw two costly interceptions in that time and the reality is I have such Cam-homer glasses I can't tell anymore... But he has so little help... fuging Byrd is his #1 receiver... Edelman has huge trouble catching anything...  I hate what this franchise did to him, but it looks more and more that they did the right thing for the football side of things by moving on from him.

You know I love you cookie, but he’s bad. Hasn’t played the QB position well all year. I watch a lot of teams play because I’m a heavy gambler and he’s been easily the worst QB I’ve watched the last few weeks. 

He did have one very good game passing vs SEA.  Really thought he was back.  He didn't have bad games vs MIA or LVR either.

He's also only a couple weeks removed from COVID. He just doesn't look right back there.  I hope he isn't done.

Jimmy Clausen had 9 picks in 13 appearances in 2010, Cam had 7 in 4 games. 

No bad team is an excuse for a QB to throw 3 picks in 15 passes. 

Colin Kap had 16 TDs and 4 Interceptions with the 49ers in their 1 season with Jim Tonsula 

Cam has the greatest coach in the history of pro football, its over.

I don't think Cam is done, but he is a middle of the pack QB at best.  The biggest issue is his durability.  If he can't play a whole season without breaking down, then teams aren't going to invest in him.  

I'm not buying any of the "Patriots have nobody" excuse.  Cam chose to go there on a 1 year minimum contract.  That's on him for putting himself in that situation.

My bad. 
 

The Huddle has been all stats no context lately. 
 

But yeah, the incompletion numbers are one thing but how he missed and the ball coming out, just wasn’t pretty 

No problem! Nothing literally life threatening as much as maybe life changing for a young family member. We'll see. 

But football-wise, I was able to see Cam against the Seahawks, and he really didn't look that bad. Of course I probably didn't pay as close attention to his actual passes that I could have, but he looked to be a serviceable passer with outstanding legs still. Maybe I just saw what I wanted to. I think people should maybe ask themselves that about Cam's last couple of years in Charlotte.

Too be completely fair Cam is responsible for the offense being trash. Their defense is another huge problem. They only forced one punt all day and that came in garbage time. Who knows, but Brady definitely winning the battle between him and Bill. 

In Belichick's defense, it's largely Kraft's fault. Belichick was ready to move on from Brady and move forward with Garoppolo. Kraft wanted to stick with Brady and forced the trade if Jimmy G.

I just don't see him getting paid from anyone with what he's been putting up the last three seasons.

I don’t think he’s injured. The guy just isn’t reading the field well. And when he does he throws it in the dirt. He’s late on all his throws. He probably doesn’t know the playbook and that’s a given, but when guys are open you have to hit them.

      This has to be bitached about, those biased refs

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      It really is insane how they always try to rig the game vs Dallas. Two exceptions being our playoff games.    Had we lost it definitely would have been right up there with the 2014 Playoffs vs 49ers, Dallas 05, Saints 2018 Playoffs, and SB50 as all time rigged games.

      Week 6 PFF grades vs. DAL

      By AU-panther · Posted

      Say you don't understand PFF without saying you don't understand PFF... Every week seems like some of the same people are complaining about something they clearly don't understand.  I'm not saying they are the end all resource out there but once you understand their methodology you can start to appreciate some of their work. For example, their grading system isn't a high school grading system, try to look at some of it in relative terms.  Rico had an 82 rushing grade, that's pretty good.  I would be curious to know how that compares to every other running back this past weekend. Also, I think he had a few penalties, which if I'm not mistaken are graded pretty harshly.

      Passing Stats

      Can we go back to square one for a minute and remember what we paid for this guy and how he was sold?  He was like, the anti excuse. Makes everybody better, Did we get that?  I think the answer is still coming but so far you might can say that for a game or two.  Cam had issues with personnel every season almost. Horrible OL, but he had receivers. Decent to good OL no receivers. Etc. Bryce needs to stand up, or keep standing up, however you want to put it. It is big boy time in year 3. He doesn’t have to make the playoffs but there is a standard. We’ll see what happens.  But the excuses are just fuging tired.  ps, I mean let’s not crown him when he has franchise record production in two wins,.. let’s see when they stop that, how he does then.
