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.

      Alejandro Avila: Are We Really About To Hand Offensive Rookie Of The Year To An 'Okay' Receiver?

      By Navy_football · Posted

      Adam Thielen had 1000 yards with rookie Bryce. I guess he's using that as comparison. Just kidding. Calm down.

      We definitely improved from 2024 to 2025, to me the results were less important than the roster in that regard. It's better. It's still a very bad roster but continuing to be better is the goal. The changes we are talking about at QB are about spending LESS resources. Not picking up Bryce's 5th is a big potential savings. Significantly better QB's have been had in recent years for half or less than what Bryce will get in 2026. To say nothing of an extension(the ridiculous subject of this thread) which would cripple roster building by saddling it with a bloated QB contract for an awful QB. The price for Bryce, I mean who is even making that argument anymore? I don't think you are seeing anyone in this thread discussing trading up to #1 for Mendoza.  We are talking about cheap backup and FA QB's and Day 2 and 3 draft guys. That is literally tied to the idea of roster building. IMPROVE at QB while you build the roster so that we can actually potentially attract a franchise QB or when you make that big move up(SF for Lance) that your roster is so good that the impact is largely negated.  After all, improving over Bryce is an extremely low bar to hit. Let's not assume that standing pat would have resulted in a sudden spurge in good decision making. Don't forget who was making all those roster calls at the time. Bryce or not, we would have fuged it up in some way because we had idiots at the helm. We may still yet. Also, it's easy to say we can't get in the habit of switching QB's like that but there are also plenty of situations where that flip was the correct decision. Richardson to Jones, Rosen to Murray, Fields to Williams, Lance to Purdy(technically some nuance to this), etc. There is no real danger of Bryce leaving and suddenly becoming an elite QB. We all do know this, no matter how big of a Bryce stan you may be. His ceiling is middling game manager. So there isn't some crazy risk of moving on.

      Honestly. You can see it on the field. Bryce will literally skip a pass on the ground rather than throw a contested catch to XL. Especially when it's one where XL would have to fight back to the ball. Coker is actually really good at that. Coker lacks real NFL speed (not a small thing), but he maxes out in most other categories.
