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

I think of a game manager as someone that excels within the system but maybe doesn’t have a lot to offer when things break down, a complementary player is missing etc. e.g. when Debo Samuel was down, Purdy didn’t look as good, when Cam was missing someone he just stepped up his game. Game managers are also great at avoiding mistakes, they usually don’t cost their team a win. So it is not a bad thing.

I agree with this and think this is what Cam was trying to say.. 
Game Manager is great in his system and great in a good situation..

Game Changer is a player you can drop on any system on any team and he elevate what is around him..

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??

If you're trying to say Bryce is a game manager, he's not even that.

People are trying to label guys like Purdy as a Game Manager and I have a feeling it's solely because they see certain characteristics of his appearance and how he plays the game, dishing the rock, and they say "manager". Looking at his stats, he has a good case for MVP.

Give me the Purdy mold of Game Manager all day.

Well, these QBs that Cam is labeling game managers have better stats than Cam had.  

See this is the nerd way out of this and not what the actual point is.. Also the stats conversation should be way more objective if that’s all you’re going to go by..

When did BY even get brought up in this topic?? 
Why did you feel the need to add him in this discussion?? 
He might not be anything but a CFL QB in 2 years who knows but no.. BY was not even a subject matter in this thread..

You calling me a nerd? That's cute.  

They consider Brady the GOAT, and he is the very definition of a game manager.

Brady was a game manager for the 1st 2 superbowls the pats won .. and it took Brady having that Wes Welker, Randy Moss all time season to prove differently.. Hw had to go to another team and win to prove differently.. He showed that he could be a carrier of a team and not just a passenger… That’s the point we are giving guys these titles before they proved it… Brady had to prove Purdy, Tua, and Dak should have to as well.. 

 

And your they have better stats thing is funny and a nerd way to debate without using context… None of these guys with better stats were asked to carry a team every year.. None were asked to be the QB, FB, Short yardage RB, and running game coordinator..

None of your better stat guys are asked to cover up for our BAD Oline choices and our bad moves in FA and draft when it came to WR.. None of them are asked to please Cam make a play so we actually have a functioning offense.. Please Cam be our offense while we spend most our resources on defense… When those guys can be that then let me know..

As long as your taking what I am saying out context, which is what you're accusing me of doing, you're not even worth listening too. 

Just because I made a true statement doesn't mean anything that your insinuating.   Perhaps you should get to know my true opinions on the best to play the position.   Instead, you're taking a true statement that I made with zero context, and you assuming I give a rates ass about whom thinks what of a game manager or not. 

I'm not going to sit here and debate Brady with anybody.  I know how people view him.  Good, bad, otherwise. 

 Bottom line is stats are for losers 

What makes a great QB isn't just his ability to play the position, but his ability to lead men. Getting them to play above their weight class, regardless of level of talent around him.  

Take you assuming ignorant ass and leave me the fug alone since you can't even understand a statement is just a statement. It's not what I believe or otherwise.   

Get to know the person before you you open up your mouth and remove all doubt of your ignorance.

Game manager is whatever anyone wants it to mean.

To me, it has become a nice way to say they’re a tier B QB. They have some sort of intelligence and physical attributes where they can be pretty good or maybe even play great for a few seasons, until they regress back to winning 40-60% of their games. they win, but they’re not necessarily gamers. They need top level talent, especially a DUDE, to be successful. Be it either RB, WR, or TE.  They’re 1 and done in the playoffs. They have ‘winability’ until the national audience tunes in. 

C league are career backups, usually because of the mental side, but sometimes physical.  They have some tools , but always a glaring weakness which is their demise in critical moments. They’ll beat a few bad teams on your schedule and crash message board servers. 

A players are always a threat regardless of who is around them. They make all pro even if their team sucks. They make borderline practice squad players look like 2nd rounders and get them PAID on contract #2. Nobody takes a play off due to this reason.

      With the first pick, don't draft a QB? Draft a DE? C'mon!

      Right. But you do understand that there is no such thing as not signing free agents, right? That's what I mean. So make some good free agency moves and do well in the draft. That's step one. If you can't accomplish that, then this will just keep getting worse.

      Sweet jebus this is idiotic Yes, overall team success in this league, you need a good QB, but beyond just that painfully obvious fact, let's get into the rest of the stupid in there......... First things first, you say.. "if we need a good QB for him to have success, then why are you drafting that player with the #1 pick" Show me one time I've ever said we would need a good QB for T-Mac himself to have success... you can't, because I never have.  I think you're referring to the "he's bad enough that we then have a Top 5 pick to target a QB" part of my post, which is very clearly talking about said QB, not T-Mac.  The other way to interpret that is just overall team success, which again, wouldn't be anything about T-Mac or his ability to impact the offense or overall team wins and losses. I'm quite sure I could do this with a number of teams over the years, but I don't want to spend the time to do multiple, so I'll keep it to just the 2023 Vikings right now since you wanted to use Jefferson as your example....... The Vikings went 3-6 after Cousins went down last year.  And two of those wins came before Jefferson even came back from his own injury, they were 1-4 in the final 5 weeks after Jefferson came back. In those 5 games, Jefferson had 31 catches, 503 yards, and 2 TDs Having the WR you specifically called out didn't help them go better than 1-4 with a bad QB, even though he still put up a great stat line for that time period either.  It also didn't make that QB good enough to where they then went out and brought in TWO new QB's this year to replace Doubs and Mullens who started down the stretch for them last year. And that's with 4th year Jefferson, not a rookie that T-Mac would be If you expect a WR getting drafted #1 overall to be the player to turn a franchise as bad as we are around in 1 season, make whatever QB we're able to put in there be successful, and lead us to a solid season, then you are literally insane. We are AWFUL, we have a few young guys who could turn into great players, but we are so far from being a good team, that there isn't any player we could draft next year that is going to change that in 2025.
