I was originally not in favor of drafting him because we did not have a veteran to start the first year but the crop of qbs that came out the same year and since then have made me rethink the idea that it takes several years to develop a rookie qb. The poise of this generation of qbs is pretty amazing.May have much to do with the college offenses and pro becoming more similar.....I don't know,

Day 1 start without the Year 2 Offensive change

You've tapped into part of what I'm pondering here.

Suppose Newton had sat and learned all the nuances of a pro offense for the first season. Would Chudzinski still have felt the need - for whatever reason- to switch to a college style offense in year two?

I know people will go with the "he set a bunch of rookie records" argument in this. Someone will have to tell me exactly what good those records are doing us right now.

Add in that the benefit of whatever good experience he got last year is being erased by the disaster of this year.

I understand what you're saying. But, they should've added wrinkles to that scheme instead of running a completely different style.

what they're running now isn't as drastic a change as the huddle would make it seem.

after sitting down and watching a full lions game for the first time in ages, i believe i see what carolina wants to do.

if he can work out the kinks in his game, he can execute it.

Start him.

The best rookie QB of all time.

I think its a mixture of immaturity in Cam, coaching and not allowing Cam to grow by not treating him like he is still learning the game. Still, I would have started him.

Ask again what I asked above...

What good is that all time great rookie season doing us, or him, right now?

How many teams completely change there offensive style (with the returning staff). All OCs run there same scheme year to year, with added wrinkles. Chud hurt Cam and the offense because he was trying to be creative. Its like 'hey this is working well' 'lets go in a totally different direction and slow our QBs learning'.

      NFC South is now ACTIVATED

      I will as soon as you withdraw your fandom from the Patriots. Informative threads are great but all of these estrogen and emotion driven threads you start are ridiculous.

      Canes vs Panthers 7pm

      By Anybodyhome · Posted

      Will be there tonight and expect nothing from the Canes. They are soft and won't go after anyone, nor will they respond when, not if, Florida starts bullying them. Not to mention Freddie is in net. I fear this will be an ass-kicking.

      QB School - Bryce Young vs Bucs

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Is this not a bit contradictory?  Also surely if any of us are smart enough to evaluate what we're seeing in real time, a former NFL QB can at least manage the same.  Especially considering he's basing his analysis on hours (maybe generous?) of reviewing All-22 footage which he can play back over and over again, focusing each time on different position groups, match-ups, progressions, etc. which is simply impossible for a fan to fully assess in real time.  Unless you're actually at the game, we basically only get the QB/O-line in frame during the broadcast and even in that limited window of the field, there is simply too much happening.  I'm usually broadly focusing on Bryce, maybe peeping the footwork (or lack thereof) and just the overall pocket and whether there is any pressure coming.  I'm not able to watch every individual one-on-one o-line match-up on top of it to see who got beat, who didn't pick up a blitz, which o-lineman didn't shift to help double-team, or whatever else. I think the truth is somewhere in between (as is almost always the case).  Knowing the play call, audible, etc. is pretty important when judging individual performances, which is why we should always take PFF grades with a grain of salt.  But yeah we can also get a pretty good overall sense of how a player is performing just from watching the game on the couch on Sundays.  I still think there's a lot of value in a review video like this.  As long as you have the bare minimum media literacy to take the interesting insights while also acknowledging inherent biases from a video like this (i.e. obviously focusing on the good over the bad).
