Just a thought experiment. Was  looking at a list of top 10 back-up QB's in the league and the red rifle came in at #2. And that got me thinking... even though he's our back-up, is he one the best QB we've had on the roster in the last few seasons?

The List:

  • Kyle Allen
  • Taylor Heinicke
  • Bridgewater
  • PJ Tucker
  • Sam Darnold
  • Andy Dalton
  • Baker Mayfield
  • Post-Patriots Cam Newton



My Ranking:

Bridgewater

Andy Dalton

Taylor Heinicke

Post-Patriots Cam Newton

Sam Darnold

Baker Mayfield

Kyle Allen

PJ Tucker

Cam

Darnold (from last year)

Dalton

Heinicke

PJ

Allen

Baker

Bridgewater

I fuging hate the bullshit around Cam. 

Evidently ya can't say anything negative without hating. And even them it's the teams fault. 

fug that stupid narrative.  

When we drafted Cam, I was excited, because of his potential to be one of the greatest quarterbacks to ever play the game. 

While Cam was a great athlete, and a force on the field, he failed to live up to even moderate expectations from myself.  This all the while wanting him to be the best. That's not a hater, that is a supporter, and one that doesn't sit here way too long down this stupid broken road, still wearing Cam colored glasses.

After year 2 you said Cam wasn’t a leader of men. Others were ready to get rid of him after year 2, because they said he’d never be accurate. You and others aren’t ever truthful when it comes to Cam. Supporter? Lol. 
 

People really can’t stand that Cam has fans and treats him how all star players get treated.

My thing is why is Cam always the only player who gets negative talk on this sub?

 

I don't think I ever seen anyone say a negative thing about Luke Kuechly or Thomas Davis or Greg Olsen.

 

All this does is prove Cam has legit haters. It's fine just accept it and stop questioning others because they are die hard fans of Cam.

 

Them dudes didn’t like Cam back then, and they don’t like him now. They’re not fooling anyone, especially one who was on the boards back then. Again, folks was saying Cam wasn’t a leader of men back in his year 2. They were ready to move on after year 2, saying his accuracy would never improve. Meanwhile, other QBs get chance after chance. Not all, but a lot of these dudes who don’t like Cam are haters. They didn’t like him from the start, and hate to be called out on it. 
 

Again, Cam is treated just like every other star player. Star players are loved and have tons of fans. It eats them up because it’s Cam.

From that list, I would probably take Heinke as a backup if I wanted someone who could win a few while my starter was out.  

Regarding Cam - 2011, 2012 Cam was a promising rookie.  2013-2017, Cam was one of the best qb's in the NFL.  After his arm got hurt, his career was done.  Sucked for us, because I thought we were set at qb for a good 10-12 years, especially after the 2013 Patriots game.

    • BPA comes with the caveat of positional value and roster need included. Never let the latter two completely overwhelm the first, however. Our FO seems to lean heavily into "WEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE POTENTIALZ!!!" as a fourth category and often it seems as the #1 overall pursuit. With as many needs as this roster has, I am not going to get upset over a real roster upgrade at WR versus some reach at EDGE or whatever other extreme needs we have. Overall, I want to see the roster get better. There is far, far, FAR more than one offseason of work left to get this roster into the top 10-12 in the NFL. That should be the goal. 
    • I would say we are more likely to get smoked by Tampa, blast Seattle and then perplexingly lose to Tampa again. 
    • In general, Dave Canales tends to target his TE's the least frequently of any position group(WR/RB/TE) during his three years of running an NFL offense.  However, if you notice this percentage has crept up over time. 2025 is the first year that TE has eclipsed RB in target percentage. Production has also gone up in 2025. This is a percentage of total output in each category. Canales has always used a very TE heavy offense. In fact, on average his offensive formations are 2 or 3 TE sets roughly 80% of all offensive formations. So, the question may be, with this uptick in total TE output, could an elite or top tier TE make a significant impact? I believe there is some evidence this may be the case. Here are a look at TE snaps and Cade Otten specifically. These are the snap percentages for all rostered TE's in every Dave Canales offense. The bolded cell is Cade Otten's whopping 96.46% of total snap counts in the single year he was in the Dave Canales offense in Tampa. This was overwhelmingly his career high. His production was higher with less utilization in 2024, however.    In conclusion, while I don't anticipate ever seeing a top 5 producing/Pro Bowl caliber TE performance in a Dave Canales offense, there does appear to be some evidence that an actual upgrade in our TE room would actually lead to increasing overall offensive efficiency. I think Otten's utilization rate does indicate that the splitting of time between our relatively even TE group would cede significant snaps if a far superior option were available. I believe this is an area we could(and should have this past offseason/draft) made a more concerted effort to get a dynamic TE threat, after the apparent failure that J. Sanders appears to have been.
