Anyone else find it funny that suddenly, "sophmore slumps" arent even possible anymore?

Can anyone name one single media analyst that even mentioned a sophmore slump even being in the realm of possibilty for Luck, RGIII, Kaepernick or Wilson? You hear nothing but absolute praise for these 4 QBs 24/7, I havent even heard a single time where it was even brought up even as a very slim remote possibility. Infact, its almost as though the media as traveled in the future and know for a fact all these 4 QBs have amazing seasons and none of them struggle whatsoever.

Now, rewind to last year.. How many times do we all remember hearing this about Cam.. "Cam's rookie season a fluke?" "Sophmore slump for Cam?" "Will defenses figure out Cam?"

I just find it funny that the media has already decided that its not even in the realm of possibility for the "big 4" to have a down year. Poor Cam, if only he was drafted a year later, he would then have been drafted in the post sophmore slump era!

The only sophmore slump espn reported was for Brandon Weedon....wtf who cares...way to go out on a limb ESPN lol

Im sorry but Russell Wilson is in the perfect senario for sophmore slump. No offensive weapons and the rookie season wasnt that amazing to begin with and he has the most amount hype aside from RGIII

I wouldn't be surprised if they all struggle, and/or don't live up to expectations. 

 

What would the media do then?  :stuff:

 

In all honesty, it's not like most of them really had great years, with any pressure anyway. 

 

Seattle, San Fran, and Wash, were all running teams. So it's amazing how their QB's get so much of the credit, as if they carried the load and the burden the way Cam (and yes, though he's over hyped) Luck did.

I think the deal with Cam was he was sooo outstanding as a rookie everyone thought it was going to be impossible to repeat.. And Hell, he did almost just that...

 

Cam set the bar very high and was able to put up good numbers last year.

 

I have said and stand by it that the 3rd year is the show me year, and Cam will do just that!

 

As far as the new young QB's, its great for football. When was the last time you remember having this many electric QB's playing at once?

 

However, we will see these guys take a step back. Statistically one of them will do great, but there is just too much film on them now, much like Cam of last year.

 

And the read option, its the wildcat 5 years ago, it wont last and defenses will have it in check this year....

 

We could see some of those guys struggle big time...

 

But Its going to be a fun season watching Cam flip off the whole league and lead this team to a SB...

Ehhhh well him and Kaep are on far superior teams than RG3 and Luck which goes a long way toward racking up wins.

 

If RG3 has a down year they will blame it on injuries.

 

In terms of raw talent I think Wilson is actually the best.  Uses his mobility properly, has great footwork, he's sharp as a knife and he's very accurate.

 

I think Luck is most likely to have a disappointing season.  Its gonna be hard for him to get those picks lower with a complete lack of a running game and a cruddy oline, not to mention a sketchy defense.  It's likely that defense doesn't hold those 3-4 pt leads he gets with 10+ mins left on the clock.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By PantherChris · Posted

      This while he didn't single handily LOSE the game on any one play.....    He was a first overall pick, one we paid a fortune for..... the bar for him is a 10 foot dunk not a 5"8 children's rim.   32 for 49 for 287 with 1 td and 1 int in two games vs the worst team in the conference, two critically important games that we would be 9-5 and competing for the #2 if he had led us to victory....   Ive given him props for the TD to tet.... it was the best pass ive ever seen him make.....   But putting up these kind of numbers isn't up to par. Defenses stack the box and dare him to throw....  and he still puts up medicore at best numbers.    To win with Bryce young the entire rest of the team has to be absolutely perfect to make up for his deficiencies.... so while he didn't "lose" this game for us..... HE DEFFINATLY DIDNT GO WIN IT FOR US. (Which is the REALISTIC EXPECTATION)

      His O is just built on taking repeated shots and that’s not BY’s game.  It was always a round peg and square hole…. But I also agree with your post.  I hate OC HCs.  Especially green ones.   I never liked anything about the setup

      I get that. He's also trying to do HC and OC this year which I think is just too much for him. I think it's hard to call plays from the sidelines. That view from up top helps them see what a defense is doing better. A few HCs can do it because they have the QBs and experience to pull it off. DC has neither. I think DC may have spread himself too thin and Bryce isn't the QB to be able to pull of his end of it either. How much they compliment each other in creating this offensive bleh, yet to be determined. Doesn't really matter because it's still awful.
