Cam Wants #2 Jersey From Clausen

Just searched on ESPN for a debate they had on that new show "Audible" with Steve Young, Keyshawn, Dilfer, and Herm that I saw last night about whether Jimmy should give up the #2. Steve Young said something along the lines of, if he gives it up to him, he should just quit IIRC. I can't find the video, but I found this article/blog on it...

If Jimmy is gone anyway, I guess it doesn't matter.

hey! original idea for a thread!

I know it was already discussed, but I hadn't seen any actual article on it suggesting it was a real possibility, so don't be a dick.

I just figured Cam would take #1 or become #12. And then they dicussed it on that show last night and the QBs seemed to take the most offense to it.

It all hinges on Jason Baker.

Clausen wanted his #7 last year and he wouldn't give it up.

Newton needs to pay Baker so Jimmy can have #7 and Cam can have #2

This is the only way it will play out.

LOL remember when Reggie Bush wanted to keep his College number and people were saying they should let him cause he was going to be a super star. LOL

I don't understand why we don't just say "Jimmy, you're not our franchise QB. Give Cam his # now!".

Honestly it doesn't really matter to me I am buying his jersey regardless of what the number he chooses though so it's not a big deal to me lol.

I told myself I wouldn't buy another jersey after I bought an authentic Peppers jersey and 2 years later he left. I might change my mind and get a Cam jersey but I'm going to wait until next year when Nike starts making the jersey's to get one.

    • His footwork has been discussed many times over related to not just within the pocket but the quality of his drop backs and how while his receivers have been an issue his own footwork has created issues with his receivers. It is a mutual give and take dynamic after all. As far as his deep passing goes I will happily admit I saw some very impressive long throws from Bryce later in the season and I said so at the time and I'm still saying so now. That doesn't mean that there still aren't issues and beyond some instances of him flat out missing receivers deep that he knows he needs to get corrected I think there are still some throws to the sideline that defenses are going to test Bryce on early and often and until he can prove he can beat defenses on those throws consistently they will play him the same way. As far as talk of Bryce being top ten and the metrics that define that different people are going to have different answers and I've said before after the conclusion of the 2024 season that I'm going to try to put yardage aside in some cases and just focus on what Bryce is doing both between the 20's moving the ball and how our redzone scoring percentage is looking. The biggest thing I'm looking for this season is scoring points. Not just field goals. Touchdowns. If the offense is moving consistently and reaching the end zone more often than not and not squandering drives and settling for field goals then I am going to be content for the time being. I do not expect miracles this season. I expect development competiveness and both sides of the ball particularly the offensive given the investments we've made trending upward. And no blowout losses. I don't think that's an unreasonable ask do you agree? 🫡
    • It's also worth noting that Cam himself said that he felt safer when running vs. sitting in the pocket because he could see the contact coming and could better prepare for it. A QB running the ball doesn't have to be a sledgehammer. He just has to be effective.
    • That Falcons game is about as good as it gets. Especially on the road. I know the Falcons defense was bad but he was cooking with Coker, an undrafted rookie get the bulk of the receptions. If your QB has 5 TDs and 0 turnovers he is playing like a top QB, yardage be damned. The big question for me is how consistently can be play the whole season?  I don’t expect a game like that every week, but I also don’t want to see any performances like the pre benching or that Cowboys game (which was bad post benching). Bryce’s best shot at being the guy is becoming a mini-Burrow who is about as consistent as you can get at the QB position.  The good news is this QB class should be a fun one. So hopefully Bryce becomes the guy, if not it’s a nice class to let DC pick his QB and they should come into a great situation with a good OL, RB, young talented WRs etc…
