Who is shading Cam? Asking people why they were so adamantly supportive of Cam through some below average performances and losing seasons but are quick to poo on Bryce is a valid question and a weird juxtaposition. If you can’t answer the question, then you are either being intentionally dense or can’t see the irony.  

Because people actually saw cams potential In his first few games. He lit the fan base up and was super charismatic. Bryce young not so much..😑

Bryce hangs in there. Look when he starts his throw. He completes this ball to Thielen who you can see just about to come across the logo. Watch his feet too 

Nah I’m told Pickles made these throws all the time…

Seriously, that’s an A+ throw. “What does Bryce do well?” Seems like accuracy and anticipation? He threw that between 3 guys before AT was even close to being open.

Right. And what supporting cast did Cam have his rookie season? Deangelo Williams, J-Stew, Steve Smith, Olsen, a good offensive line with a stalwart at LT in Gross, and most importantly: an innovative and competent OC in Chud. Cam was set up for success and excelled because of what was around him and his own talent.
 

Bryce does not have the luxury that Cam did. if Bryce had a similar supporting cast, things would be a lot different around here.

I think most of it revolves around what expectations were. 2011 team although it had some good pieces, it was after the 2-14 Clausen season where the team actually played worse than their record. While they upgraded the offense, the defense was complete dog poo. 

This year, the front office tried to sell us on the team being good enough that just dropping a QB in would be enough to make this a playoff team after how well they played down the stretch. Then there is the whole trade up and trading away of assets to get there. 

But what people don’t remember is that this board was drenched with people that also complained that Cam just put up stats and doesn’t win games even in his record setting rookie season. As stupid as this sounds now, there were a lot of people spamming the boards and pointing at Andy Dalton making the playoffs his rookie year as evidence that we should have taken a defensive player first and then gotten him later.

It is absolutely not a valid question.

0 playoff wins Andy Dalton. People are idiots.

At playing quarterback?? Lol are you serious? 

He’s not been playing “good” yet. There’s been some good in most games but there’s a lot more average and below average stuff going on right now. He will get there. He’s just not there right now.

I’m a cam supporter. Just weird seeing all of the mental gymnastics to poo on Bryce and defend cam. The logic ain’t logicing. 

I don't think it's even fair to compare the two. Cam was such a rarity for the position when you watched him play you just knew he was going to be special. Even if he was up and down stats wise. The size the physicality the charisma he was a franchise QB pretty much immediately. Now there were people who argued that until they were about to engage in fisticuffs. But anyone with eyes and an unbiased view knew what he was. He has already gone down as arguably the most dominant dual threat QB of the modern era. So many QB's have since or will be drafted have counted him as inspiration.

So yeah all in all any QB drafted first overall would have tough sledding to follow that up. Bryce Young has his work cut out for him. Hopefully we can develop him and not ruin him with these incompetent fools we have surrounded him with.

It looks to me like the safety is 30 plus yards back and breaks in on AT once Young is releasing the ball. They also know our OL won’t be able to hold blocks long enough for a deep play to develop. Plus there was a very high chance the ball was going to AT.

I think it is more like, they know that we don’t believe our OL can protect this QB to where we trust neither.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
