Ummm no one is said that. Stay on topic. Lamar isn’t healthy. He is a running qb and like allll of them, he won’t win a super bowl. 

In 49 starts he's 37-12 with 84 passing TDs and 31 INT.   

In four seasons he's been to two pro bowls, been MVP and First team all Pro.

Objectively speaking he's been successful.

Where would you place cam. Because most people would say then and now he couldn't pass.

Said it elsewhere, and have said many times, Newton is a Brett Favre level passer. John Elway compares too.

All three guys had general vicinity accuracy and some level of inconsistency. You could see them throw a pass that looked laser accurate on one play, then throw one that would miss the broad side of a barn the next. Whether or not they won games depended on which type of pass they threw more.

I've sometimes referred to them as OMG / WTF passers because some passes made you say OMG and others made you say WTF 😆

And yes, you can win with guys like that if you build around them properly. All three made Super Bowls and two of them won championships (Elway won two).

Some of y'all are getting all excited about drafting Armanti Edwards 2.0 in the top of the first round. 

They're both black can run with the ball and went to a small school so obviously he's Armanti Edwards 2.0 🙄

Ok this I agree 100% on. I just think a qbs success and winning a championship isn't 100% on them as many people think. People like to say newton not winning a super bowl is because he wasn't good enough as a passer when other factors like Byron bell and the other horrible tackle came into play.

Winning a championship is a team effort. Not having elite wrs who can help a qb matters. Having a cmc like back matters. Having say von miller on the other side matters. Elite shut down CBS. Its not all on the qb to win a game.

These pro days do nothing for me, I think a waste honestly. You see what they do on film when they have to throw with someone coming at them and covering guy their throwing to.

That isn't how scouting works. You look at film of Willis vs say macaroon state.. that doesn't tell you as much as him throwing to nfl caliber players and seeing him vs = competition. Can he make all the throws? Because on tape his offense was a 1 read and go. Can he do and process more if asked? That's what these are for.

Doubt we'd drop back all the way to 20 

We could get this year's first, second, and 2023's first (probably a top 10-12 pick). 

That could be interesting if we have to draft a QB in 2023 (we'd have 2 draft picks).

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
