Terry Bradshaw, Howie Long on Cam

Awesome discussion just on the Fox Pregame show... TB, who if you remember, was not a big fan of Cam coming out, just said people forget Cam went to a really bad team when he was drafted and the media is all over him, waiting and looking to criticize him. He said when he (TB) came out, he had the same problem and wasn't used to the media and when they criticized him, it got to him. He then said, "young man, learn from it and you'll be better for it, because you are an outstanding player and have a ton of talent" and said he will be a great player for 12-14 years in this league.

Howie then hit the nail on the head and said what many of us objective fans have been seeing all season regarding our offense and said the Skins are using RG3 masterfully. He said everything RG3 does is based off of the run and they work him off of it. Whereas with Cam, he said we've reverted back from what we did last year and instead of working off of the run, we have put everything on Cam.

Really nice to hear people in the media speak the truth and not some BS slant with a personal agenda.

just saw that...nice to hear they tink Cam is a talent... number one pick always goes to the shitttest team.... not much to work with...If they were referring to Chud ok... but Smitty, Olsen, Lafell, not to mention the best backfield since Czonka, Kick and Morris.... ok, guess the line is mediocre...

OT but, ever since we started going downhill, I haven't gotten too up or down about the games beforehand, but I desperately want us to win this one today. It would go a long way in getting Cam's confidence back up and shut up a lot of media... I really want us to win this one today.

I was listening to Steve Logan talking on the radio here in Raleigh Friday afternoon. They were taking about Va Tech's QB (Logan Thomas). Coach Logan was saying that eventhough Thomas was not an accurate passer he would get a shot at QB in the NFL simply because he's got the size.

My view of Cam is the same. It's a big man's game and Cam is a big man with all the physical attributes, but he's just not an accurate passer. These guys like Newton /Thomas get away with it in college because they don't have to be accurate because receivers are more frequently open and the windows are larger.

I have been that way since Jake's meltdown against Arizona, and I feel the exact same way about today. I want the team and Cam to outperform RG3 and the Skins so that I can see who in the media has the integrity to stand by their previous venom (read: none, the media is a soulless machine).

The D seems to be playing with some intensity so far. Hopefully the offense responds to 3 with 7

Again how does a Rookie throw for the most yards by a NFL Rookie and completes over 60% of his passes if he is not an accurate passer?

Oh, by the way...he lead the league in yards per attempt.

    • 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
