Why would you even have the thought of benching Cam? Even it's the last two games, that's one of the stupidest thoughts i've seen on this board.  You don't bench a sophomore player still trying to establish himself in the league, especially when he was having a tremendous second half.  We know what Derek Anderson's got, and what he brings to the table.  He's a vet in the game.

yeah, as if all of anderson's film was lost in a fire or something.

 

the only way that cam was going to fix his problems in 2012 (mechanical, mental, decision making, whatever) was with reps in game situations.  he delivered over the second half of the season and played himself out of a horrible rut.  that's something that anybody should be able to appreciate.

i can't be the only person who looks at these two assertions:

 

"i'm a fan of the team, not any one player, and i want the best 11 on the field at all times"

 

and 

 

"we should bench the starting quarterback because the team is out of the playoffs and the wins don't matter"

 

and can feel my brain ripping in two

You can't make an assertion without needing confirmation from more homers? It's okay, it will come with age.

Oh, and by the way, baseball teams, NBA teams and others do it too. Sorry to open up the real world to you, but it happens. In fact, the NBA is trying to stop it to some sort.

When September rolls around, check out baseball, it will blow your split down the middle mind

Sitting starting calibre players in the NFL (unless you have a play off spot locked up) is highly frowned upon by the NFL, media and fans.  It comes across as tanking for draft picks which just ruins the spirit of the game and makes it utterly pointless to watch or play.

 

Just because you wanted to tank a few more spots so we could still land Star with out first pick, doesn't mean the players or coaches wanted that.  Rivera wanted his job retained, so he started our starters.  The players wanted Rivera retained, so they played their hearts out for it.

 

Giving DA two games late in the season to start does nothing for us.  It doesn't ease our concerns any more if (god forbid) Cam goes down with an injury.  He's going to be a downgrade, thats a fact.  He is well past his prime and is nearing the twilight of career, while Cam is currently playing white-hot, is a spring chicken, loaded with talent and has plenty to learn about the game.  Which do you think needs the reps more?

      Myles Garrett Traded to Rams

      I feel like this trade just lives rent free in people's heads and keeps morphing into different things. First thing is that the rumored trade was for future firsts. They wouldn't have any extra picks in 2023; the firsts would have been for 2024 and 2025. With very few exceptions, NFL GMs don't value picks that far away. You have to have a lot of job security to pull that off. Like Chiefs, Eagles, Rams kinda stability. That's obviously not the case with David Tepper, especially since he'd just fired his head coach. No GM except for like Howie Roseman is going to trade an asset you have now for a future asset you probably get to use.  Second, at the time you'd have to assume these are first rounders late in the first round. Obviously currency is currency and the panthers need young players, but these weren't slam dunk top ten picks. At the end of the day there's one pick that separates a first and second round pick.  Lastly, the only place that ever reported this trade was the Rams. All the reporters just repeated what McVay said and it became gospel. We have no idea how serious the negotiations were, if they ever really happened, if the offer was real, etc. And I personally believe McVay and Sneed are the kind of guys who would make up rumors like that to fug up other teams, mostly because I assume if I've thought of it someone smarter than me has.  I don't know how you'd call it the greatest draft haul of all time. Firsts quickly lose their value the farther out they are and Burns had 16.5 sacks last season. And anyway those picks would probably just been tossed into the burning inferno of the Bryce trade up so it's a moot point anyway.
