Never said I wasn't going to enjoy some of the opinions on here.

Some of the opinions and posts are worth enjoying.

This thread has a few of them. I'm enjoying the poo out of it without insulting anyone.

everyone already knows how much you enjoy your Cam trolling.

One other major thing to consider on the defensive side of things is who our mysterious defensive linemen are going up against: the starting LG for the freaking Packers the last 5 seasons in Daryn Colledge, an underrated Center in Sendlein, but a crappy LG with Rex Hadnot.

If he's bad, it's a good thing.

If he's decent, it's a fuging amazing thing!

Those are the only two outcomes on Sunday, per you.

..........

when you draft a rookie QB #1, start him with a new staff in the process of installing a completely new scheme.......yeah, he should be bad and that would be completely normal and okay. That should be expected. Line of thought has nothing to do with Cam specifically just basic football in the NFL.

the point was again, NFL history has proven, #1 overall QBs don't lead there teams to win week 1 and normally are horrible. Expecting that Cam will be an exception to proven NFL history reality or then that means his bar has been lowered.....is absurd.

NFL history shows what is likely to happen Sunday....not me. The problem you have with this line of talk is you know what should happen Sunday and can't wait to spin that and do your standard trashing of Cam.

It's such a small sample size it's irrelevant.

Ignoring that, you should include all the facts if you want to base a discussion on that.

How many instances of this are there, what is the level of opponent, what is the talent level around QB, how strong is the run game to lean on, how strong is the defense, etc?

Is playing decent and getting a win better than playing good and getting a loss?

This whole thread comes down to "If he's bad, it's expected therefor it's good and if he's decent it's great."

As long as Cam doesn't COST us a game, nobody should bitch and moan about the way he plays. If he keeps us in it from start to finish, that is all you can really ask from him. Mistakes will happen, and we can't overreact. HUGE plays will happen, and again, we can't overreact. Just let it ebb and flow for the season.

I think in order for us to have even the slightest CHANGE, Cam will have to gamble and try some pretty crazy things which are going to GRANTED, put us at a risk to loose the game. Still, I can't see him playing SAFE and us somehow winning... not with this group. Cam will have to use his feet, he'll have to get fancy.

Is it sad that im more worried about the defense than I am cam?

I'm right there with you to be honest. I feel like Cam has solid talent all around him on offense, especially with Otah healthy and a replacement for Bernadon't.

The defense though, if they can't stop the run, and continue to get gashed for big chunks, fml, it will be a long day.

Well, I know all that. What I am saying is he can't go out and throw 2 picks while not leading a couple scoring drives. He can't fumble handoffs that turn into points. That's what I mean by "costing us the game." I know he's going to try crazy things and those won't always work, but as long as those types of plays aren't consistently costing us games, nobody has the right to bitch about Cam.

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      They traded away their 1st next year also to get James Pearce Jr. Really hope this blows up in the Falcons face. I don't care how it happens, I just want to win the division this year. Zero sympathy for other team's issues. And our pass rush looks like it needs all the help it can get.

      I would have released him this season, tbh and worked with Christensen out there.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Seltzer · Posted

      10/10. We're due for some good luck, and I think this team is much better than what we've had the last 2 seasons. Defensive injuries could derail us b/c our depth there is still questionable. Still worried about the pass rush getting pressure without blitzing. Pleasantly surprised by the secondary and run defense.  Dan Morgan has done a lot to resurrect this roster from the deplorable position Fitterer left it in by showing some scouting chops with hitting on these guys drafted in the later rounds or UDFAs. Lathan Ransom & Corey Thornton both look like they fit this scheme and the NFL isn't too big for them.  I'm as excited for the rookie trifecta of T-Mac, Scourton, and Princely as I can remember. On paper, this offense is the most talented since 2021, maybe 2017, and maybe 2015. None of that means this team will produce any better, but this team has offensive talent & depth like we have rarely had in team history. If you don't believe me, go Google it. We've had some awful offensive collections overall in many years, to varying degrees mitigated by superstar talents like Steve Smith, Christian Mccaffrey, or Cam Newton.  I honestly think the collective offensive talent in 2025 may be better, but Cam was so otherworldly in 2015 & 2017 that he covered any flaws. Seriously, though, Cam doesnt get enough love for 2017. I think that may have been his best season. In general, Cam doesn't get enough respect IMHO. Both in college and in the NFL, Cam took teams that without him would have had no chance and won. True definition of a guy who elevated his team. To be clear, I am in no way am I saying this team will be better than 2017 or 2015. My point is that the offensive talent is there on offense if Bryce can unlock it.  I've been a Bryce supporter, but there are no excuses not to perform with this group. This isn't the disaster we gave him in 2023 or a new scheme like in 2024 where I think he hadn't mentally removed from his rookie season to start. I dont know how you couldnt be excited about that. And we still compete in a division that isn't insurmountable. I got got in 2023 like most of us in buying into the team propaganda, but in general, I think I'm pretty realistic about the team. I knew in my heart we would be bad last year. I wasnt expecting the defense to be that bad or Bryce to start off that poorly, but I had no expectations whatsoever for making the playoffs. And I genuinely think we will be competitive all year this season. I think we win 8-9 games and compete for the division. I think the ceiling is 11 wins, and the floor is 7. The good news is after next week, we will all be proven right or proven wrong. Keep Pounding!
