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.

    • Poster board? Were you trying to use the term poster child?
    • I mean, you're acting like we don't see the tippy-toe bunny hops, jump throws more than normal (with both feet dangling in the air every which a way), and off-platform but off-balance throws that arrive short or sail high. Could that be bad mechanics due to being short? Could a seeming propensity to bail the pocket towards the sidelines early as opposed to sitting in the pocket tall and strong, surveying his reads, be an attempt at trying to see an open throwing lane? I'm not saying that what you're saying isn't a contributing factor to what has been an underwhelming display of executing the QB position, but this is year three, and if the lightbulb hasn't switched on by now---if you haven't figured out that guys are faster, stronger and generally more athletic, then what's it going to take? It's hard to forget that "mental processing" was supposed to be Bryce Young's superpower. Are you telling me that he can't nail down such an easy concept as, "I can't get away with the things I did in college at the pro level," is that right? If he can't get past that, then that surely limits his ability to successfully execute all the other stuff.  Look, I'm not trying to be flippant. I acknowledge that playing pro football is more complex than a lot of fans realize, but all we can do, as fans, is observe. One of my favorite things to do is just look at the greater picture and think what part human nature is playing in the many decisions that are being made or have to be made. You're absolutely correct that fans don't know exactly what's going on, but that is by design, and in many ways it's just the nature of the beast. Some things we can't know. That being said, the professionals screw the hell up all the time. The professionals disagree all the time. These disagreements can be within the same franchise or from franchise to franchise. And sometimes these decisions are all over the place, so excuse me if I ain't exactly buying the I-know-more-than-thee sentiment and that that means that professionals always make better decisions than fans would about certain players. Some of this stuff is simply luck or a crapshoot.
