Mark Brunell

He wouldn't want that much money, and he's done an OK job with Sanchez. He also wouldn't mind carrying a clipboard around. I think he's still under contract with the JETS, so it also depends what they want for him which shouldn't be much.

Brunell would be good, but I wouldn't let him go if I were the Jets. Especially since vet QBs are so hard to come by this year.

They currently have 5 QB's on their roster including a rookie qb(backup for Sanchez) on their roster and someone has to go.

I went back and tried to find some draft anaysis and prosepect opinions from back in 09 regarding freeman. Most of them said the same things that we've heard about cam. Best physical speciman at QB in the draft just needs to develop those into the NFL game. Anyone know what kind of offense Kstate ran when he was there?

Anyway, I see cam newton and think of, potentially, a better freeman.

Cam has too much swag to listen to some washed up QB like Brunell.

Here's what Cam needs...

1. Hurney to re-sign DeAngelo

2. Jerry to convince Smitty to stay

3. Jeremy Shockey to stay healthy

4. Cammy Cam Juice

Pretty sure he needs a healthy oline

Cam needs good coaching and good work ethic. It's the coaches job to teach him how to study and watch tape. If he comes in listens and bust his ass then we don't need to give up a roster spot for a washed up backup. Same for Clausen and Pike.

Most of you guys know absolutely nothing about mentoring and developing a young QB.

A vet presence in the locker room, the film room, on the sideline, is a HUGE benefit to ANY young QB. We are not talking about a guy who is going to teach Cam "physical skills or atributes". Rather, a seasoned vet who can help Cam study film and pick up on team tendancies.....talk to Cam on the sidelines about what he is seeing and not seeing....etc.

A vet like a Brunell woul provide that exact type of mentoring and support.....without the baggage of a QB controversy.

Some info on Freeman when he was coming out

Football Sense: Is a good rhythm passer, but could have used a year or two in a pro-style offense. Not great anticipating breaks on deep routes by his receivers and must do a better job of reading coverage and making checks, as he is prone to throwing into tight areas. There could be questions about his ability to make proper reads and act instinctively. He showed a better grasp for the system as a junior, but needs time before he is comfortable calling his own game. GRADE: 6.0

    • I truly do not understand why we rushed him back last season, we were a bad team with an already productive back in Chuba. Brooks looked like he was 60% back and clearly hadn’t regained full movement in his knee and confidence, no surprise he got reinjured. Shame on this training staff, look no further then Chuba returning too soon this season, I don’t care how bad a player wants to come back a training staff is there to protect them. Brooks is a great person and was an amazing player prior to both injuries, I hope he’s recovering well.
    • Brother thanks for sharing and all. Just for a 21 year army guy you sure over used your brain power on this interaction little too much...  Not that's Im taking a side or nothing, Ive never been a bully fan * in extreme deals bullying in needed..... I've heard from smart people in and around Panthers, Smitty needed Angie for guidance BADLY.  I've honestly thought if Smitty was born 20 years later, he should have taken a MMA path and not only would he have been a champion but a humbled good man with or without Angie helping him. He has never took off the enmoureous chip on his shoulder and it has branched off as a stick in arse over time too. Still everyone can not be or act the same with emotions, we are chemical sacks of water and bones. He reminds me of brain-washed individuals that can not turn off the switch. Plus he is high on thinking he's smarting than he is.......its a dangerous combo, but that's mainly what gave him the edge in life to live out the American dream......soooo I dare say change, but its sad at the same time. All those poor women that get involved with narcissistic disloyal men, one of the few times I agree to take what ever form them in court...
    • Completely agreed.  TBH, we have had so many great players that are in my favorite list, and I hate to narrow it down to one, but Cam is it.  Which is crazy, because you would think it would be more of the guys I grew up watching, but no.  Cam was the single most impactful player to ever out on a football uniform imo.  And like I said in an earlier post, I always felt a kinship with him in a lot of ways…  the way he was treated and judged for the off the field stuff in Florida and having to overcome all of that and fight show at back.  And although I am not a black man, I have always been welcomed by and accepted more by minorities, and thus, I know what it’s like to be judged by appearances rather than the content of your character and who you actually are.  I know what it’s like to be stereotyped and written off or mistreated for your mistakes.  I know what it’s like to be held to a different standard while your peers don’t have to meet that same standard.  So I always related to that.  And the way he came in and just electrified the whole franchise, man…  I still think about it often how much it sucks that because of how talented he was, our staff out so much on him and that ultimately cut his career short.  You’re right, there will never be another Cam…  I think Josh Allen is the closest thing we will see for a long time, but Allen is not the running threat Cam was.  Cam could run you over or around you.  That was THE absolute funnest time to watch our team ever.
