Chris Weinke on WFNZ about training Cam

Sounds as if he will be ready to compete. Putting in 12 hours a day seems to be 12 more than I hearing Clausen or Moore put in right now. I would think that after hearing these reports at least Clausen would be putting in some extra time himself.

No matter how much effort he puts in, we still all need to remember that he is going to be a rookie and he is going to make rookie mistakes.

The expectations for this kid is going to be sky high in our fan base. We still have to remember that it is ALWAYS a maturation and learning process in the first year or two.

definitely.. when the season starts, you know there will be fools who roam this forum with no concept of reality that is football and the NFL..

Starting him from the beginning of the season scares the poo out of me.

What happened to bringing in a vet?

I would prefer this route, but I'm not sure there are many options worth signing. most likely, we won't make the playoffs and this will be a growing year. Worst case, we put Moore out there to take the hits until Cam is ready.

Great news, I for one want him starting from day one. The O-line will be above average if Otah is back and healthy along with our running game Cam will just need to manage the game and not turn the ball over. With is size and speed if the first 2 reads are not there tuck the ball and run. Plus if we ever get the lockout behind us we have a ton of money to spend in free agency to lock down some guys on D and sure up the O-line with some depth. A vet QB coming in to help mentor is a good idea but I don't want him starting, he should be holding a clipboard and helping out Cam and Clausen.

i expected nothing less than this. dude has a big time work ethic, very coachable, eager and able to learn and grasp things. said it all along.

he'll start early and he'll be fine. don't need a vet ahead of him if he knows the playbook and the teammates respond to him. the latter will be the easiest for him.

I'd feel more comfortable with Matty in honestly, at least for a couple games. Or maybe one first half one the other. Idk, but the fact that we threw Jimmy on the field last year without any direction kinda proves that approach doesn't really work. Esp when you don't have a veteran who can guide the younger QB.

We might not make the playoffs anyways with a vet, but where is the harm? I thought there were at least 4 or 5 options. Yeah, maybe Cam is the answer, but let's not just throw him out there and expect he knows exactly what to do in every situation.

why, what scares you?

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
