Bro this isn’t a movie. Cam is who he is at this point. Marginally better than darnold, I’m glad everybody is happy cams back but keep that same energy 4 weeks from now 🤣

All of that may be true and it's a valid point.  I look at it this way, yes the qb situation is not settled long term but we at minimum have that bridge qb everyone has be clamoring for. 

And it so happens to be the guy it was meant to be all along.  It also buys them time to find his successor and at the same time gives them a real chance to compete.  How long the team has will solely depend on how Cam plays the rest of the way.

I also think Cams successor will not come from the draft but that's another story.

My point is that the Oline didn’t magically get better and Cam isn’t good enough to change the outcome. But by all means let’s let rhule and Brady off the hook with a PR move disguised as an upgrade at QB

I don't think anyone's foolish enough to think signing Cam changes anything.  Everyone else still has to do their job or they will be held accountable as well.  I believe Cam when he says this is not about PR and a happy ending. It's about winning and he's here to help us win. We will all be able to see where the weak links are in the offense if not else.

Man I hope he's up to speed.

 

We could use him Sunday. 

Physically we don't want him to strain something, I know he's always working out but it's still a little different once all the adrenaline kicks in and your mind wants to do things your body isn't conditioned for it yet. That said if PJ is stinking it up and the game is close, we can't really afford to lose any in this stretch if we want a wild card spot

It’s too inept to not laugh at 

Well, aren't you just the superior, all-knowing snot!  Bet you're fun at parties, too.

Back off awhile, and let those of us who love and admire Cam (for all he did for this team and this city) enjoy the moment.  Nobody needs your soaking wet blanket thrown on the occasion.

And don't reply with that "ignore me if you don't like my freedom of speech" BS -- I just did.

If you don't already know where the weak links on the offense are after watching the ongoing shitshow this season I don't know what to tell you.  We basically have 2 players that are NFL quality players on that side of the ball, and none of the coaches are.

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
