Why is it still a bad thing to call a QB a “game manager “??

[recceice]

Why is Cam getting so much hate from talking heads for calling certain QBS game managers??? 
Why is it still seen as a Scarlett letter when reality most of the league QBs are game managers??

[Jon Snow]

Too much is made of putting labels on a style of play. All that matters is that the qb and the system they are in is compatible and said qb can run/thrive in it.  A lot of qbs fail because they end up in the wrong situation from the start.

Because game manager implies limited ability, especially when it comes to general playmaking.

[TN05]

Because people didn't listen to what Cam said.

That’s the problem then.. Ppl need to change their mindset then..  Game Managers win and have a lot of success as well and it’s okay to be a game manager.. It’s okay not to be able to win in every situation..

Which is generally accurate of the QBs it's applied to. You don't necessarily have to have a dynamic game breaking QB if you have a brilliant offensive system with elite surrounding talent. The issue you run into is when you start having to pay everybody and making tough salary cap decisions.

Cam speaks the media listens!

 

If this was a nobody making these comments nobody would notice. Just shows you the media still holds Cam in high regard. Keep making headlines Cam!

 

His YT channel is getting bigger by the day. Hate brings clicks and views!

People don’t like the messenger, anything cam says is always blown way outta portion 

Reality he’s well liked by his peers and anyone not stupid enough to believe click bait articles etc

This. It’s not just the fact that he called him a game manager. He followed it up with asserting that he doesn’t “change the game.”

[recceice]

Plain and simple.. If Purdy, Dak, or Tua are with the Panthers are we competing for a playoff right now?? 
 

Now If We had Mahomes, Allen, Jackson or Rodger’s are we competing for a division title??

And that was Cam’s point..

If he was on a different team does he change the game is the question then??

It’s a fair question.

I have a long history on this board saying we don’t need a game changer at the QB position to compete. 
 

It’s an interesting conversation because while Purdy might not do anything Uber athletic or ultra flashy, I believe those that do (eg. Cam, or more relevant, Josh Allen) tend to have more instances of subpar outcomes as they are always looking to make a splash play or play the part of the hero. Sometimes at the cost of the game. Guys like Purdy might not backflip into the end zone after a long run but rarely do they fumble the ball or throw an INT in crucial moments either. 
 

So for me I could see how people could take his comments either way.

That’s Cams point imo.. It not a bad thing making the right play at the right time more times then not and being reliable more often then not.. But reality is Purdy, Dak nor Tua is asked to carry a offense and elevate the talent around them as much as Mahomes , Jackson and Rodger’s is..

I can personally see it either way. I could see how someone could read his comments and infer that he’s saying Purdy is JAG. If I were called a game manager and demonstrating consistent success despite the products around me, I really wouldn’t care about anyone’s opinion either way though.
