He’s played the last two years with two teams he signed with late and one in the middle of the season. Yet he still managed to be the only one out there scoring TDs. No QB and I mean not a single one is going to be successful when they barely know the plays. In NE he scored more total TDs than Brady did in his last season there. It’s more than just about the QB.

Cam dragged a WR core of Philly Brown, Rookie Devin Funchess, Ted Ginn and Jericho Cotchery (who caught it) to the super bowl with Mike Remmers as his starting RT.

His MVP year was 2015. By the start of next season, that will be 7 years(!) since he was a top QB in the league. 

Rivera ran him into the ground and he is a shell of the QB he once was. He is past his peak. It sucks, but it's true. He has not come close to playing at that same level consistently ever since. There are games of good play sprinkled in here and there, but the vast majority of his play these days has been sub-par. 

Yes he came in late last season and tried to learn the offense on the fly. He was still missing receivers and making bad throws even when he did have time, which I will admit wasn't often. 

People have a death grip on the good old days trying to choke them back into existence. It's not going to happen. Even if Cam does play better than he has for the past 5 years, we still have Matt Rhule as our HC. Any good that the resurrection of prime Cam would provide would be immediately neutered by Rhule's incompetence. 

If Cam has a chance to be better (That's a big IF for me), then I don't want him to do it here with us. He doesn't deserve that. Let him go somewhere with competent coaching and a chance to get a ring. He still has value as a former MVP with experience that could help a younger QB succeed and potentially provide relief in the event of injury. Have him go to Buffalo, Seattle, Green Bay, KC, Philly, SF, or LA and back up the starter.

Cam signs a one year deal to mentor Malik Willis who sits early and starts to spell Cam as the season goes on.

 

The offensive line gets improved through starting Brown and Brady plus a key free agent.

 

Excited?

 

Been saying THIS for a minute, Cam was always the PERFECT bridge QB and was cheaper than TB the year he was released. Allows the team to compete at a high-level while not FORCING the issue with a rookie.

People forget Tannehill earned an extension before Gase, he was ALREADY consider good in MIA. Darnold has / had NOTHING but bad tape with some highlights sprinkled in. 

The fact these morons traded 3 picks for a guy likely to be released as he was in his 4th year, and no future guarantees on a team that was taking a QB #2 continues to remind me this FO / Staff didn't have a clue wtf they were doing. 

I am concerned that they STILL don't know wtf they are doing, and are reluctant to make ''common sense'' decisions.

Let me put it this way...

If your primary goal is to generate some short-term excitement, you're not particularly concerned about building for the future and you want to potentially give David Tepper a reason to keep Matt Rhule around for a little longer, then yes this is a great idea.

Otherwise, not so much.

Nope. Willis will not be a star in the NFL, IMHO. His passing was average at best in college and he will not be able to scramble in the NFL. And when he does, he will begin to get battered like Jackson, and well ... like Cam. I don't get why everyone is so into guys like Cam, Jackson, and Hurts. Give me a guy like Mahomes ... who CAN scramble if needed but is more about passing ... you know, what a QB is supposed to do. BTW ... this is all if you're talking pick #6. Want to gamble on the kid with your 4th? Ok. But he won't last that long. He'll go at the end of the 1st.

Nope. The architects of the mess that is the Carolina Panthers, Tepper and Rhule, will still be in charge. Plus Brown and Brady are probably not true starting caliber NFL players. Brady may end up a good backup though.

I know you're a huge Cam homer, but at least do a little research and tell the truth. Newton did not have more TDs in NE in 2020 than Brady did in 2019, which was his last season there.

Newton threw for 8 TDs and rushed for 12 more which adds up to 20.

Brady threw for 24 TDs and rushed for 3 more which adds up to 27.

Some said the same thing about Mahomes and Murray.  The guy has talent and what he needs is a QB in front of him so he can learn.  

If we could trade down get him and an offensive linemen and let him play behind Cam.  He'll learn.

Cam may be done but he's still better than any QB on our roster and better than most of those that are free agents. 

I'd rather ride with Cam than Darnold and draft a rookie than to throw more money at the QB position in a Veteran that has as many question marks as they do answers.

I don’t think so 

I’m trying to decide on paying the season ticket invoice when it comes in a week or two  or just turning them back in after 22 years.

to be very truthful, I don’t think there is anything with Matt Rhule’s name attached to it that would make me want to pay that invoice 

Cam has no desire to come back here.  All a person has to do is watch his exit interview 

I imagine  going from Rivera and Bellinchek to Rhule was quite a shock.  Besides Cam is a shell of himself.  It would take quite a bit of money for Cam to rejoin the Rhule poo show    Truthfully, I wish Cam would retire for his health. Taken far too many hits

No. Willis is a massive project, exciting to some degree but odds are he won't work out at all. Not too interested in seeing Cam as starter either, much better than Darnold trash but would rather go for a big dog or just flat out tank.

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
