I don't think it is about anything historical(from college). I think it is because his career was so short for modern NFL QB.

Well, I would put him in because I don’t think longevity should carry tremendous weight.   It’s why Megatron is a first ballot.   It’s why I think Luke should get in with a short career.

Cam has never compared to any QB in the modern era.   He is the greatest rushing threat from the QB position in NFL history IMO.   And Cam lead the era of the mobile college QBs being normalized in today’s NFL.    So I’d put him in. 

But I won’t be shocked if he doesn’t get in. I wouldn’t put my money on it

QB careers(especially HOF) are so long now. That is the only reason I could see it going sideways on us

Eeehhh, most analysts are probably gonna give that title to Steve Largent.

Largent was amazing. He was quiet but deadly. Caught everything thrown his way and somehow seemed to be always open. Played for a poor Seattle Team with Jim Z. and David C as his primary qbs. He was probably widely considered the best WR of his era before Jerry Rice broke onto the scene. *Respect*

That said-Smitty had a comparable career and should be a HOFer.

I do want to point out that Smith finished his career with 19,173 All Purpose Yards and 89 career TD's. 

That does dwarf what the rest of the finalists in this class have at the position. 

+ 11 more TDs in the postseason

This also leaves of Smitty's 2005 Triple Crown (not an 'official' award but still big), one of three to achieve that since 1966 and the only one the last 29 years.  The other two are Rice and Sterling Sharpe in the early 90s, and Smitty earned it with Jake chucking the ball vs Montana and a still-young Favre.

Sam Mills resume as a player is enough.  As a person he should be get special consideration 

On another note…Cam Newton has to be squarely in the HOF.  Keeping him out would be ridiculous with the records he has atp

Idk about that. The league stole a SB from him, they could damn well keep him from getting a jacket too.

voters are largely all media guys.  Media has been brutal to Cam since Auburn.  It would take him a long time to get in and probably all the guys who covered him to no longer be voters IMO.

    • It's honestly pretty interesting just seeing this pairing play out. Canales’ offenses (Seattle, Tampa) are run-first, under-center, play-action systems built around defined reads and intermediate/deep timing throws. That structure worked when he had QBs like Baker Mayfield or Russell Wilson in a system that created clear launch points and sightlines. His success has always been tied to a credible run game + play-action gravity. You can see that with the Panthers team building philosophy as well. Coker and TMac both are bigger receivers that won't get the best YAC production but thrive as possession receivers in contested scenarios. They're not the best in space and creating additional yardage in such, and would likely fair better systematically with a stronger armed QB who can create better opportunities on those boundary 1v1 matchups with stronger throws. Bryce, on the other hand, is a spread-native QB. His strengths are rhythm, spacing, quick processing, and off-script creation. Asking him to live in condensed formations with long-developing play-action concepts just hasn't been his forte. And well, his boundary throws are limited in velocity which takes a big chunk of the playbook off. And I mean a QB like Bryce can still work, it's just Dave's offensive philosophy and foundation is very much at odds with Young's physical limits and his own experience. So it's certainly still a learning experience for Dave to figure out how he can mesh his offensive philosophy with Young's strengths. He's very inexperienced with maximizing Bryce's strengths with his system. Would love to see us bring in an OC with spread experience and adaptability to implement a cohesive system with Dave to allow Bryce to thrive, as it's obvious we're sticking with him for a bit longer.   
    • Only thing I really agreed with is questioning why we didn’t take any timeouts on their last drive.  I know hindsight is 20/20, but I think it would’ve saved clock bc they were desperate to score as soon as the opportunity presented itself, but I also think it could’ve helped the defense regroup and maybe give us a better chance to stop them.
