Deangelo Williams and Gary Barnidge on Cam and yesterday's game

I get what DeAngelo is saying and to a point he’s right, Cam isn’t going to be the 2015 version of himself.

But I don’t see any reason why he couldn’t put up similar numbers to Drew Brees in his final season in an offense that for all intents and purposes is supposed to emulate the Saints.

If you were to ask me right now in a full 17 game season would I be happy with:

3,000 passing yards, 25TD’s/5INT’s, 70% completion percentage

The answer would be 100% yes as I think our defense is good enough to where those numbers would allow us to compete with anyone.

The main issue here is both of those guys just sound like the bitter old hag that can’t move on.

I won't be instantly dismissive of anything critical of Cam, or tempering our expectations, but I will say that their critiques don't seem to go any further than, "He's not the same QB he was in 2015, and you're an idiot if you're getting your hopes up."

What they're utterly failing to take into account is there's more to being a QB than just your stats. You need to be a field general, a leader and a motivator. I don't see how you can't look at the smile on Robby's face in the end zone, the entire team huddling around Cam on the sideline, and the palpable sense of swagger that  we had on Sunday, and say he's not gong to be able to make an impact on this team.

Yeah, nothing in there you won't find in an average message board poo post.

    • overall agree on the draft grade as a whole on on each pick, but every time I read (and I have read it more than once) that we "gave up two firsts" for Bryce, I am confused. We gave up the 2024 first, but we swapped 2023 firsts, so we didn't give up anything there. We did give up our former first rounder in DJ, but I don't think thats what you mean as one of the "firsts" we gave up.
    • Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
