After watching the video there's a couple if things that jumped out at me...

1- he absolutely idolizes Tom Brady

This can only be a good thing... We all know that Brady is probably one of the hardest working QB's in the league... Good role model for Cam to look up to... Oh and there's those SuperBowl rings ;-)

For the first time ever, he didn't really come off as confident. It's almost as if he was in Tom's shadow, and rightfully so I guess. I just didn't really like the way he didn't really seem sure of himself. I'm probably just knit picking. But it's the first time a doubt about him creeped into my head. I'm sure it's nothing though...

I noticed that too. Obviously I don't know the truth, only he does, but he was probably just making sure he came across humble because a lot of the conversation revolved around his time with Brady. Bottom line is he doesn't ever seem like the type to crack under pressure, and he hasn't been cocky to the point that it is affecting his desire to work hard. Anything between those two extremes and we can't ask for anything better given the current situation.

One of the most impressive things I've heard him say is he wants to take a little from each of the elite QBs in the game today. He wants to be his own man, but he realizes there are things he can take from each player. Will he ever be the field general that Peyton is? No, but if he strives to be and couples that study effort what he has learned from watching film on Brady(leadership), Brees(craftiness in pocket), Rodgers(knowing when to use the legs), Roethlisberger(don't rape), and Rivers(how to use Chud's offense) he can make himself a better player.

Lots of times guys with elite talent at any position seem to think they don't need to work as hard, but luckily it doesn't seem he has that mind set AT LEAST right now.

      Yes we are weak at 2C,  I wouldnt say C overall just we have Aho and then 3 guys who should be third Cs.....   If we dont aquire someone I suspect we will finally see Jarvis at center this year.   I see what you mean with Freddie, and I agree to an extent I think we should limit his regular season starts and focus on keeping him healthy for the playoffs.    He has been very good in the post season contrary to what some casuals think we DID not lose because of Freddie....  2.02 GAA and a .907 %  We lost to florida because our small offensive D men couldn't keep the Panthers from parking right in front of him.

      In theory that would be nice, but i can almost guarantee you no one who will be an upgrade will be available.... much less a "stud"  This is a list of goalies who are free agents in 2026 aka possibly be sold at the deadline..... the only one I see that might help us is a retread in Ned.... (honestly should have never gotten rid of him hes performed admirably in much worse situations since leaving).
