The don't expect 2015 Cam argument

I know it's not 2015.. I know Cam is 32 and the popular opinion is his skills have diminished. But look at the previous two weeks his legs look as alive as ever putting up near the dame rushing averages and his arm maybe not peak cam due to injuries..but he looks more accurate.

Just not seeing the popular...he's not the same guy mantra.

We should’ve never cut him. Should’ve been drafting a qb behind him to sit and learn so we could make a good transition. Qb play is the most important for chances at sustained success. The panthers fuged up.

This.

Should have been the plan all along. We could have Justin Fields learning behind Cam right now to make a smooth transition in like 3 years.

His legs were never the concern it’s his throwing shoulder and how it holds up after 100+ passes on the season. I’m optimistic it can hold up this season since it’s shorter for him and he was off for a longer offseason than usual but I’m still not sold on him being the answer in a full season or for any potential long playoff runs.

He's not the same as a runner. Yes, he's still very, very good but he's not as dynamic as he used to be. His arm looked damn good on Sunday but post-TJ Watt his arm has looked good in spurts but hasn't been able to hold up. If his a holds up down the stretch he should absolutely be back next year.

I mean looking at him run over guys in Arizona, and last week at Washington I honestly don't see a drop off in his running ability at all. Not trying to disagree but he was breaking tackles and goalline running as well as ever. His rushing totals in his first full game are in line with his normal healthy averages.

His arm isn’t the same as it once was, that much is obvious.  He can’t make those throws on a rope 60 yards down field like he used to.  He can still play, though.  He definitely has gas left that in the tank that we can use, and considering we ran him to near empty initially, might as well run with it

    • I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).
    • Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.
    • Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
