actually, now I wonder how Auburn didn't win by 3TD's every game last yr

That would be due to our (AU's) defense last year giving up a lot of points until the final 2-3 games. Hell, in the Arkansas game our D gave up 43 points and we STILL won by more than 3 TDs thanks to Cam going absolutely beserk and scoring almost every single drive.

One thing that did happen is the team improved, especially the defense and raised their level of play as the season progressed. I think Cam had a big impact there too. He is a very competitive leader that leads by example. I see the same thing happening with Carolina this year. The team knows Cam will give them a chance to win every single week and will raise their level of play around him and the wins will come. I saw it last year w/ AU and I am certain the Panthers are on the exact same track.

And this is from his peers... Both possibly the best at their position. Everyone digging for negativity, keep stammering over your words - this is the truth.

Loving it.

But...But...Cam made mistakes that cost the game...Even thou that really isn't what cost the game...

I really wonder what those who are searching every week to find something to criticize Cam over because he wasn't they choosen QB would be saying if he was???

BTW, how does Cam rack up against other first draft QB in their second week of real NFL work?

I'm glad you were there for the first hand accounts between Cam and Clay. TBH, I was hoping someone would cut block the sh*t out of Clay during the game b/c I could tell he was talking non-stop sh*t to Cam.

I'm sure you picked up the exchange when Clay chased him out of bounds in the 4th for no gain... You could see Cam was smiling and thought it was gonna be a friendly exchange after the play and then Clay looked back at him, said something, and then Cam stopped smiling, turned away from him and went back to the huddle... Meanwhile, Clay kept talking.

I also didn't appreciate the celebration after Clay wrapped him up from behind on the scramble on 4th down where he pointed at him on the ground.

I was really hoping someone would f*ck Clay up, and I've actually liked him from afar until today.

Regardless, I expect guys to be competitive and talk smack, but he seemed like it was personal during the game... So, I was surprised to see him say anything good about him.

Clay is a talker...Even Aaron Rodgers get on his case about that...

It's quite surprising to see him so talkative because he really doesn't come across that way. But I caught a GBP game last season on NFLN where they mike some of the players and Clay was one of them...Let me say, he simply wouldn't shut up...Even while he was on the sidelines...Too funny.

Yeah, I think he's a lot like Smitty is for us...

I still love his game, I just didn't think he had to do that the whole game, but Smitty does it too so...

We're 0-2. I realize that. But seriously, the talent on this team through the roof.

Cam threw 3 really bad passes today, but that's what a rookie does, right?

That said, Cam is everything people hoped Mike Vick would be. We have the QB to take us to the next level. Remember 2003? It's gonna get a lot better than that.

High five, bitches.

What I am looking forward to is when we actually get the run game working? Cam clearly has shown that he can get it done when the other team expects him to pass. What happens when they have to worry about our backs gouging them for 5-6 per run. Stack 8 in the box and hope cam doesnt pick you apart? Or let the run game move the chains?

Also makes playaction much more viable playcall if the LB's have to worry bout the run, even easier ways to find TE's in that situation.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      By Seltzer · Posted

      100%. And these same people will claim you have an agenda. You can't have it every way. We had the lowest rated defense in the league last year. Statistically the worst ever. By PFF grades (for whatever that's worth- but they are readily accepted, used, and conveyed by most "reputable" sources), the defense was the worst ever. Not only that, PFF rated our receiving corp the worst in football last season. The absolute worst... out of 32 teams. Which is why regardless of the lip service Canales and Morgan paid to the current guys, they knew it would be criminal not to give Bryce more help. People fixating on team stats and not taking these things into context are stupid, plain and simple, and I'm for one thankful they're not running this team (or probably anything for that matter bc they obviously can't discern reality. Again, going back to the eyeball test these Narrative Nancies seem to hate so much, did they not see the windows Bryce was putting balls into? Have the generally not watched much NFL? Please, please show me the film where all these NFL QBs are making throws like this to this point Bryce was "below average" down the stretch compared to them. Bryce made more wow throws in that 3 game stretch of the Bucs, Chiefs, and Eagles than every other QB combined in all the years since since Cam got hurt I genuinely am baffled by people that can watch throws like that and act like it's nothing. I guarantee you Steve Spagnola, Todd Bowles, and and Vic Fangio didn't think it was nothing after watching the little guy torch them with players those teams would be embarrassed to trot out at the skill position players. The national media spent all year making excuses for Mahomes not having elite weapons when he had multiple 1st & 2nd round talents at the skill positions along with future HoFers in Kelce and Hopkins. Bryce wasn't throwing for 300 yards every week with David Moore and Adam Theilen in spite of jaw dropping throws and you want to say the guy played below average. For those people, again, we ain't watching the same sport. And the name calling doesn't change that... The vitriol and projection... it's off the effing charts with these people.

      "Well you see if you remove this terrible game that terrible game this other terrible game and then focus on these games you'll see he's actually one of the better QB's in the league and he's actually as good as Jayden Daniels". My god this place is delusional. I love it.
