You frustrate me so much.

Half the time you make really valid and rational arguments and discussion, then follow it up with off the cuff smart-ass remarks which take thigns completely out of context.

Honestly. You must recognise that he has a much bigger learning curve than a prospect like AJ Green? Surely you can accept that his system is so foreign to what we will be using, that he will be realistically needing an entire season on the sidelines before he is ready to play in real-time? Surely you can appreciate that the amount of running QBs who have successfully transitioned into the NFL are few and far between, with none obtaining longevity because of their legs?

Cam has an incredible ceiling on his potential IF he proves he has the smarts to actually pick up a pro system. If he can't then he will just be an exceptionally gifted athlete playing at QB.

So many other players have the benefit of being much much much more pro ready than he is, yet people refuse to acknowledge that this makes him a more risky pick.

For instance dismissing a guy as a running QB even though he threw for nearly 3,000 yards and 30 td's is unfair.

Saying he isn't pro ready is a blanket statement that to me has no basis in fact.

What constitutes someone being pro ready?? I have already shown that QB's from pro systems have a higher fail rate than QB's from other systems so what constitutes "pro ready" it is another blanket statement that can be neither proven true or false until the player actually plays in the NFL.

People said Joe Flacco, Ben Roethlisberger, and Sam Bradford were deemed not "pro ready" for different reasons (Flacco bc of his competition in college, and Bradford and Big Ben bc of the offenses they ran), yet they all had success their first years on the field.

So it is a statement that is impossible to prove.

      Jabrill Peppers Available

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.

      Everything revolves around Bryce This Year

      Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly.

      Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.
