Pictures of players on the bench

still can't get a fair judgement from this, every qb is going to be on the bench at some point in the game. cam just seems to run there after every series, i'd like to see him standing every now and then also

Watch Cam in a game when we're winning or it's hotly contested. You will see him act just like everybody else, engaged with his coach and teammates.

Now, watch every other QB in the last 5 mins of the 4th qtr in a blowout loss, and see how they act.

And for the OP, great job. Even caught one of Schaub ignoring his position coach. Really makes you wonder what drives all the criticism of Cam.

There's somebody sitting next to Cam in the picture. What's the problem? Is it just because he isn't sitting close enough to him? What would be an appropriate distance?

i think the entire issue is overblown to begin with. it's easy to take pictures of a guy at a given moment in time and paint a picture of him based on that one picture, but that's illogical.

my point wasn't to defend the cam critics on this but rather to criticize the method of defending him with equally shaky evidence (arbitrary snapshots of other players)

Cam is seen quite often running down the sidelines when the defense makes a big play. He is cheering on his team all the time from the sideline when they do something good. There just aren't that many opportunities. He cheers on his teammates more than most starting QBs in the NFL. Thats a fact

    • Ideally Bryce and the other starters should get at least a full quarter and an argument could be made for 2 full quarters given how they've played early in the season the last few years.
    • A rookie that has never played a snap and a proven 1000K NFL WR are not going to be viewed the same in these type rankings.  And calling draft picks, lotto picks, isn't some new quip I just invented.  take the big 3 Hubbard, AT, insert whatever 3rd Panther you want vs Kamara, Hill, Olave.  Most football folks outside of Carolina are picking the Saints there IMO.    
    • You didn’t really address the point, just like you ignored the point about the RBs initially, and saying “they are all lotto picks” is just a really silly reduction because you could say that about literally any player rookie or vet every snap, every game, every year. It is well known that different positions have different hit rates, and I would argue different types of prospects within position groups as well, and that hit rates change the further down in the draft you go. Everybody knows QB is different and that, for example, first round OL have a really high success rate. Using your lotto ticket analogy…again…you are saying a lotto ticket with a 1 in 100 chance of hitting is the exact same thing as a lotto ticket with a 1 in 2 chance of hitting (this is an example, don’t take these odds literally). The point was he is no more of a lotto ticket than the 31yr old receiver coming off a major knee injury, and in my opinion he is better odds with a higher potential “jackpot”. Saying one player is an “lotto ticket” while another isn’t is just not sound logic. You have no idea who will break out, regress, get injured, etc. There are safer bets than others, that’s all. I don’t think Diggs is a safe bet and even if he was, weighing him over all of the Panthers WRs plus 2 1k rushers is just dumb. You can disagree if you want. The list is stupid.
