If Newton Sucks balls this year


Hairless Cat

nope. just that they don't know NFL football.

Qb's used to get 5 to 8 years minimum if a team thought highly enough to call them the QB of the future. I think its comical that because of a combination of media coverage, dollars and revenue, and fan pressure that its shrunk to less than a season's worth of games. Hilarious

So you're saying we shouldn't give up on Clausen yet?

Its one thing to say that Cam sucks... or he isnt a good quarterback. To say he cant read the defense or he makes bad decisions during the game is to assess his first year. To say he runs first, passes second is to say something about how he plays... thats cool.

But if you say, "He's a thug." "He's a selfish player." "Hes the next Jamarcus Russell." "He's a criminal." "He's stupid."

Those are totally different types of statements alltogether...

    • It's not impossible to go from worst to first.  We kept Evero because anyone in there right mind knew our defense was destroyed by injuries, not the scheme.  Evero has been given a plethora of talent between free agency and the draft, not to mention getting DB back. I fully expect our defense to be very good.  I have no reason to think Jones would say something like that unless he truly felt like that.   
    • We would’ve played Florida and lost in the 1st instead of the 3rd round.  Montreal would have been the 8 seed.
    • I can't get behind a purely subjective re-draft as a method of defining "top-10 QB" status. That invites bias based on vibes/hypotheticals and can ignore actual on-field performance. You and others have said that Bryce has to be a top-10 QB to justify the pick. That's a high bar, which I'm not against, but we need a clear, consistent way to measure it. When I bring up metrics that Bryce has registered in the top-10 in like BTT%, P2S ratio, catchable deep ball rate, etc... they're waved off as either irrelevant or the expected baseline performance. Meanwhile, volume stats like passing yards or win-loss records, both of which depend heavily on roster talent, health, and coaching, are treated as definitive. That's where the inconsistency kicks in. If no performance metric ever counts in his favor and the answer is always going to be "he should be doing that," then we're not evaluating him... we're just holding him to a curve he can't win against. If this is really about performance standards, then let's define them. But if it's just about confirming prior takes based on height and weight, then let's call it what is it and stop pretending that this is a football analysis discussion.
