I was neither a hater or lover but listening to Rivera speak on total access he really sounds sold on the decision and met with him 5 times before the draft siting his athletic ability,decision making and leadership.

I cannot say that I have ever seen such great expectations for a player.As this cba lingers on even all the cam nuthuggers have to start wondering at some point how effective can he be w/o backing up a vet.

This lockout is going to cost cam some nice rookie #'s I can assure you that. No minicamps, really hurts a team installing new parts and plays like us rather than a New Orleans or New England, etc.

I expect the talent bridge to really show next season because of all this bullpoo going on with the league--if there is a season.

Listening to Rivera last night on total access it appears they are tooling the plays around his skill set. My guess is that alot will depend on when the CBA is in place and Cam signed but it sounded as though thier intentions are to play him as ASAP.

One thing that I have not heard mentioned is how long do you think it will take to sign him to a contract after the CBA is resolvd?

Probably not long. If a new CBA includes rookie slotting, the deal will be set by the CBA, and I heard we already had preliminary discussions with his agents where we were willing to pay Sam Bradford money.

      Bryce Young - High Ankle Sprain, out minimum 1 week

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Bryce hasn't done a single thing to prove he deserves to have his option picked up.  I'd have less of an issue with us declining the option and bringing him back as the starter next year than I would have us picking up that option, as that means he's on our cap books for the next 2 years instead of 1, even if he's cut before year 5. Tua threw for 3,500 yards with a 25-8 TD-INT ratio in just 13 starts the year before they picked up his option, and then threw for over 4,600 yards before they gave him his extension. Kyler threw for 3,722, 3,971, and 3,787 in 16, 16, and 14 games (while rushing for 544, 819, and 423 in those seasons) before they picked up his option and then signed him to an extension before year 4. Jones threw for 3,200 yards with a 3-1 TD-INT ratio with another 700 yards and 7 TDs rushing in year 4 before they signed him to his extension. Bryce has thrown for 2,877 and 2,400 yards in 16 and 12 starts his two seasons, while being on pace for 3,128 yards in a 17 game season so far this year. The closest comparison to any of them was Jones, who while he's turned it around this year, is someone I think everyone can agree was not a player who deserved that extension after that season. If people think those other QB's having their options picked up and/or given extensions were a mistake, in what world can you look at what Bryce has done and make any rational argument for him even being brought back as our starter next year, let alone also picking up his option that would cost us about $27 million fully guaranteed.

      Trade for a QB?

      I don't think we would actually play Hooker but hopefully we also just don't see. I don't view Dalton/Bryce as a worse option than Winston/Howell. I just think we disagree on this specific subject is all.

      I guarantee tepper would fire him if we lost out and he’d be justified
