Swap smitty and calvin and i bet u'd see cam break 5k yards and stafford just over 4k. smith is incredible, but calvin is so ridiculously easy to get the ball to. u just throw it 15 feet in the air into quad coverage and he comes down with it uncontested. way too much leaping ability + height.

Can also say give the Lions our running game, and watch how much easier it is for Stafford to pass the ball...

Stafford is a good QB. Too many what if's, when you start talking about who's better. I like Cam more but I maybe biased :). However I couldn't fault the Lion fans for feeling the same way. Saying Stopping Stafford means stopping Megatron is crazy. Did Megatron get 5000 rec yards last year? If not then .............

Yea but stafford had literally no reliable backs this year with Best and the rookie being out.

If he had a running game like ours he mighta laid back a bit on the passing when it kicked in like with newton.

This. Megatron is a huge part of that team but Pettigrew had 777 yards, Burleson had 757, Young had 607. Hell in week 2 and 14 Megatron had 29 yards each. Stafford had 294 and 227. Week 13 Megatron had 69, Stafford had 408. Wouldn't exactly call that stopping him.

Megatron is often tripled. So of course that's gonna open up more receivers.

Look, Cam is harder to stop. Everyone knows the key to stopping Safford is stopping Megatron.

Well we kinda stopped Megatron, we held him to 89 yds and 0 TD's, but we allowed 5 different WR's to get a TD and gave up two rushing TD's, I know I know, our DEF sucked......

      This guy pre-draft was saying he could take or leave football, and he seems to have been playing with that mentality ever since lol.

      Time to Start Roughing Out the '26 Draft--Needs and Pecking Order

      By BritishPanther · Posted

      Agreed, another safety would be nice. Bud Clark, TCU, is one I would like to see us take a flyer on later in the draft, if he stays healthy and we don't take someone earlier. I just really hope we draft a solid C this year. Tired of seeing us cycle through average to below average players in that area.

      Downfield Disparity

      By carpanfan96 · Posted

      Bryce doesn't like throwing into the middle of the field unless the play broke down or it's set up to give him a passing lane.  So because of this issue, most of the passing offense has to be outside the numbers towards the boundary. So you see him throw a lot of dump offs, swing routes, short side out routes, comebacks or deep balls outside the numbers using the boundary as protection of an interception.    Pretty easy for a NFL defense to see this and scheme against it.  All you have to do is run a shell cover 2 deep dime, LB plays a hook underneath, take the flat away with a blitz/flat zone option for the two inside DB's, outside two DB's play hook zone underneath and carry anything deep.    Pretty much what NO ran to take away Rico while also limiting What Bryce can do as well.
