Oh, I thought this was one of those "Which of these does not belong" games where we see 3 guys with Super Bowl rings and one who has none.

Look, I enjoyed Cam's athleticism as much as anyone, but to stand him up to 3 guys with a total of 7 Super Bowl wins among them and try to make any comparison is stupid. Does that yardage total surpassing these guys get him a ring? Big trophy?

Dan Marino and Fran Tarkenton threw it all over the lot, too, but what most people know is they never won the Lombardi Trophy; not how many yards they threw for.

Yeah, it's all Cam's fault we didn't win a SB with him. I mean, he could've done more than just carry our entire offense. Lazy bastard should've been playing defense too! Is he too busy worried about his outfit to to kick and punt?!

Calm down. Relax.

There are a lot of reasons those Panther teams didn't succeed, the least of which was Cam- I'm well aware. But adding his bust to a second tier Mt. Rushmore that includes Aikman, Young and Warner? C'mon, man.

The thread didn't say that. Simply stated the facts of the stats. 

But since you mentioned Aikman, imagine what Cam would've done behind that OL.

I'd settle for any Pittsburgh O-line in the last 20 years, since this was the team that wanted to build itself like the Steelers...

Assuming Cam is about done, and it's beginning to look that way.... yeah, it was on par with a Marino career.  Close but no cigar.  Jurys still out tho.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
