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. 

I can already imagine the "Couldn't read a defense, not a drop back passer" arguments from the cuck racists. Even the clown show that is Mark Sanchez was spewing that bullshit on the broadcast last Sunday.

Cam is probably a longshot, sadly. His career was just so short for being so bright.

As much as I like Cam, he is nowhere near HoF quality.

Ever adding his rushing yards to his passing yards, he's in the company (yards wise) of Dave Krieg, Boomer Esiason, Donovan McNabb and Matt Hasselbeck.  Add his rushing TD's to his passing TD's and you get . . . Dave Krieg, Vinny Testaverde and Russell Wilson.

Those aren't the right numbers.  He didn't win the SB.

The one glimmer of hope we have for him is that he did win an MVP.  It's rare, but not unheard of, for a former league MVP to not end up there.

HOF shouldn't just be about what the stats add up on a sheet at the end of the day. 

for example this post to a degree....suggests Vinny T and Russell Wilson are comparable.  They aren't. 

Vinny T simply played in the NFL for 21 years.  21 years.  

London Fletcher isn't a better LB and more deserving of the HOF than Luke Kuechly.  

 

 

Cam was a uniquely dominant player.  One that stands alone in the modern NFL.  That's why he has a HOF arguement.

Sam Mills and Jared Allen are finalist 

89 didn’t make the cut.  3 first year guys did make the cut.  Ware.  Hester.  And…….Andre Johnson. 

Holt, Wayne, Johnson are the 3 WRs.  Hester too but we all know he is a ST HOFer.

Makes no sense for Smitty. The NFL wants everyone on their network to be a hall of famer and is probably a major reason Smitty is doing television there. Hester I kinda get, Ware absolutely should not be in. Smitty was better than Andre Johnson. Sam Mills better make it this time.

The longer he plays, the further he is from the HOF too. Sad to say.

I mean if you made a argument for Hester I get it. Even for andre to an extent. These guys are great as well. Buy I don't think you can make the case Johnson should be in before smitty I'd the thing.

Hester I would put in ahead of Smitty because he is the greatest returner of all time.

Johnson, though? Absolutely not.

Some truth here.  If he walked after his injury his odds would be better.    Last couple years have been bad for the story on Cam.

Yeah, it doesn't help the "injury" storyline, even if it is true.

I can't hate the man for wanting to still play. I just hate to see him as a shell of his former self.

Oh, 100%.

Had Cam not been injured, I suspect that he'd have a ring by now and Rivera would still be our coach.

      Panthers give Ashawn Robinson permission to seek trade

      By ColumbusCounty · Posted

      Damn I liked A'Shawn too. This is basically a heads up we're planning on cutting you move.  Robinson wasn't the best but I loved his attitude and effort on the field. He held that entire dline together when Brown went down iirc..granted we finished that season as the worst rushing defense in modern NFL history.  If Wharton would have performed up to atleast half of his salary last season, I'd feel a little better about it. We do need that cap space though.

      13. Carolina is coming. The Panthers are well thought of around the league. Their "process" seems sound. I think their off-season will be very interesting to keep an eye on. They made the playoffs, but they're not yet knocking on the door. (Offense was 26th in EPA/play.) I think it's imperative they don't overestimate where they are in their build. They can't throw a ton of money around in FA to "make a run now". They need to be intentional about building a solid foundation. (IMO) And from what I know about the team... I think they will be. Sidenote: I have my eye on offense there, not defense. They HAVE to leave next season with a strong opinion on Bryce Young. They need to put pieces around him to do that. Can't be left wondering what he would have looked like with "better OL play" or "more pass catchers". They have to know. (That part is purely my opinion. No one told me that.) https://x.com/lindsay_rhodes/status/2027212533417869499?s=46&t=xeIgh_-Vr2aKxBkBJdfnKA

      Because this DL is completely reliant on Brown being available and being a stud. Without him we were the worst D in history. The Wharton signing last year reeked of desperation. He just isn't a great fit for us schematically and I think we panicked a little bit when we missed out on Milton Williams who would have been a great fit.
