The article covers all the drama, criticism and highlights of Cam's rise. It's kind of amazing to reflect on the extremes surrounding him, but I think we can never wonder if the kid has mental toughness. How the hell does a normal person survive all that insanity?

that really was a great article.

and it really puts all the negative hype against cam into perspective from the media. It seems like they really didn't want him to succeed, and it helps to explain a lot of the hate he received. I'll admit to being guilty of that as well. It's hard not to be manipulated by that many people saying the same stuff. Props to those who believed in cam from the beginning, and of course, props to our awesome QB for coming out unscathed.

In regards to Cam's early success being only because of defenses getting behind during the lockout..

For those keeping track at home, yes, September 20th is the day the rookie who would surely struggle after the NFL lockout became the rookie who's only succeeding because of the NFL lockout.

Bingo.

      I think we are looking at the same stats, I think you just have pro-Bryce goggles on.  That seems to be pretty clear by the post history, anyway.  Not really sure how or why anyone would still be in that camp, but carry on.

      I would argue their play during their respective seasons was elite, and they elevated those around them.  Regardless of what they became after that moment.

      Right team, wrong year and player. Since the 2003 season, there are only 2 SB winning QB's who won't end up in the HOF (Hurts not included as I think that's still up in the air), would be Flacco and Foles. The next worst QB to win in that time frame would be Eli, followed by Wilson, and then Big Ben. The other SB winning QB's since then... Brady, Mahomes, Stafford, Peyton, Rodgers, Brees... basically some of the best to ever play the game and Stafford, a surefire HOFer after winning his SB. You have to go back to the 2002 season to find a truly average QB to have won the SB with Brad Johnson and then 2 years before that with Dilfer.  Before that, you have to go all the way back to the 1991 season when the Redskins won, everyone else between there are HOFers.
