If Cam was half the leader that..

how old was jake when he started @ QB?

give cam some time. he's got leadership abilities, esp. natural ones that goes waaaayyyy beyond jake. it's just in the direction he leads them and the direction he takes himself. once he finds his confidence and believes in what we're doing and the team's ability to overcome we'll be seeing him and this team take off.

i don't think we'll have to wait long, tbh.

I will admit this but also understand its not like Newton can't become a leader in the NFL

Yeah, certain intangibles are missing and its a problem with a starting QB but the issues with the franchise are far greater than simply Cam

It would help if he had a staff and veterans that could give a sense of damn direction

uh, yeah? if most of the quarterbacks in the entire league were half the leader delhomme was their respective teams would probably win more.

the whole knock on delhomme was that he had the heart of a lion but wasn't overly athletic and didn't exactly have a cannon for an arm. yeah if you put his head on cam's body he'd be a monster. just like if you put bruce smith or reggie white's head on julius peppers' shoulders you'd have the greatest defensive player of all time by a long shot. it's rare you get both.

thing is those are qualities that cam can develop whereas jake will never be 6'5" and 245 with 8% body fat.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
