I like Lamar. He’s an elite QB.

With that said, I’d rather use our capital to move up in the draft for Stroud or Young.

Lamar is a great young QB, however if we have to trade a bunch of picks either for him or to move up to the top 3 in the draft I’d rather roll with the rookie on the rookie contract than a Lamar type for 50 million bucks a year.

People saying trade those picks to get a QB on a rookie contract have to realize the QB has to actually be GOOD to win anything. Lamar is a known commodity 

True but he’s going to cost 50 million a year and probably north of a quarter billion total. fug that noise.

Seems like Cam is the poster boy for every QB who runs.

People said the same thing about Josh Allen this year saying he is gonna end up like Cam.

 

My question why wasn't this a thing before Cam?

 

Vick never had that label. 

Vick...didn't hear the injury label? Lololol..

Are you 18 to 22? Vick couldn't stay on the field man. He was always injured and it was discussed at length by damn near everyone. 

We don't know what Josh Allen is going to be. He's what, in year 4 now? With a major elbow injury? How will rhat elbow hold up by Year 8? 

You're writing things off for the present. That tells me that you're young and probably only witnessed Cam's situation and Mike Vick's injury history through the words of others.

Jackson's production has only gotten worse as the League has figured out how to play him. Not only that, as mentioned at length, he can't stay healthy.  One reason why he's wanting a fully guaranteed contract.  He's not stupid, but he's also tipping his hand.  Lamar knows his style of play has a shelf life and it's likely to expire before he, or the team, would like it to.

I don't like his decision making on or off the field honestly.  

Choosing to not have professional representation for negotiating what will be a $220+ million contract is absolutely stupid.  Not smart in any way you spin it.  In a league with over 2,000 players, he's one of like 15 who don't have an agent. No legal representation, no one verifying contractural language, potential amendments, no help.    

He's also 4 years removed from his MVP year already, playing in just 12 games each of the last 2 years.  

Going after him poses a bigger risk than trading up for a rookie.  You're giving up similar assets (maybe even more) and don't have the liberty of it being a rookie deal, it's a mega-contract.

Rumor is he's wanting his contract fully guaranteed like Deshaun Watson.  That, more than anything, is the sticking point--not the overall value.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
