Gah, Bleacher Report.

And for the record, Jordan wasn't Jordan until he started winning.

Not quite sure that is 100% accurate. Jordan sold like 100 million shoes when they released the first Air Jordans long before he won anything significant (besides an olympic gold medal). And unless you are talking about championships he went to the playoffs every year he played so he won from day 1 basically.

Titles made Jordan who he ultimately is today.

That said--Cam has won more to this point in his career than Jordan did dating back to college and his rookie year.

Jordan won a NC in college and actually went to the playoffs his rookie year. So I am not sure I agree with that either :o

Nah, a lot of people saw him as a flawed scorer and he was pretty disliked by other players (including the "freeze out" in the all-star game). He went to the playoffs every year because everybody goes to the playoffs in the NBA. I don't think he got over .500 in his first 3 seasons and got knocked out in the first round.

I don't think he sold 100 million shoes his rookie year, but I'm not a big shoe guy.

Yeah, that isn't true. Jordan had NCAA championship. Jordan was bigger than Cam is now after a year in professional sports.....much bigger.

the freeze out was no different than Cam being the only QB to be roughed up in a Pro Bowl game....since when....dinosaurs roamed the Earth?

Cam ain't in Jordan's league yet. Not comparing year 1 to year 1 in the books. Jordan was more dominate and just bigger in general.

Jordan was pretty huge even before he won all his rings... they made Jordan the legend he is today (people have called him the best player ever to play any sport, whatever that means), but he basically entered the league and was immediately one of the best players in the game at a time the league was STOCKED with talent. He wasn't JUST a scorer, he was also a good defender, and while you are right they lost early in the playoffs, they were playing the Celtics early on, and later the Pistons, and he was the only reason that team was anywhere at all.

I don't think Cam is in Jordan's league yet... but I'll look forward to when he is.

      Not sure who said it first, but Tepper is the correct answer. Still, I'm gonna go with Kasay keeping it inbounds. If, you subscribe to the butterfly effect version of time travel consequences.... When we win SBXXXVIII everybody's lives change: Moose never breaks his leg, We win it all again in 05. Tommy Jone is unknown and Peppers stays home, Champs once more 2008. No artificial pig heart turning JR into a creepy weirdo, no lockout, no Clausen. Fox and Jake ride off into the sunset on their own terms. No 2-14, no #1 pick. But, no laptop, no Blinn, 3 years behind The Golden Calf of Bristol, we still get Cam. JR let's him grow his locs like he always wanted, Smitty sees Cam in a new light. Dreads swinging, (and Smitty with his 3 Lombardis behind him) Cam is old enough to get those calls. No Manning narrative, Cotchery TD, PI against Talib on Philly Brown, 10,000 RTP calls and Kony Ealy SB50 MVP. No Jeans Fridays, no Tepper. KB doesn't slip on his own meatsweat mid-route in SD, Cam becomes the 1st QB to win 10 straight SBs. Retiring after being elected 47th president of the US of A, Cam ushers in the Permanent Proletarian Revolution across the globe, Xi Jinping bows in awe. "ẄøŘƙƐṛ§ őF ŧĤə ŵØRłð, ŮŊÏŦƐ!!!"

      I mean not surprised the Patriots took him in and aren't trying to push him out. They've been the most morally bankrupt team in the NFL for a long while. Wouldn't be surprised if Vrabel has his own dirt on Kraft/Brady and other assholes from that organization over the last couple decades.
