I never called it elite, now did I? Cam's decision-making is above average. It's no different than Brees' in his third season. In fact, Cam's decision-making was significantly better last year. That's growth and improvement.

Point? Rich Gannon had so-so footwork until mid-way through his career. It comes down to the coaching staff. The fact is Cam didn't start playing QB right off the bat. His mechanics remain raw. Thus far, I say our coaching staff has been mixed-adequate.

You say you're not confident in Cam ever reaching elite status but I wouldn't be making predictions since no one saw Cam taking over the NFL in his rookie season.

 

You need to re read what I wrote. Never said I wasnt confident, merely I wasnt 100% confident in Cam becoming elite like I was in Luke becoming elite. Hell Luke is already elite imo. 

 

I am quite confident in Cam becoming a darn good QB. If I see some significant progress this season than maybe ill be alot more confident in him becoming elite.

You aren't making a damn bit of sense.

You say Luke is already elite after one season and being DROY, yet say Cam is unlikely to be elite after being OROY and having the two best first seasons statistically by a QB ever. Only Dan Marino had more TD's at this stage.

Just stop.

Actually contrary to popular belief I thought his decision making was better than his rookie year even in the first 8 games, even though he was struggling.  It of course got even better in the second half of the season.

 

If he can continue that progression, he will be in very good shape very soon.  Hopefully this season he picks up where he left off.

Luke isnt elite due to winning the DROY. He is elite due to his IQ/instincts and his athleticism. 

 

I am glad you have zero doubt that Cam will be an elite QB (top 5) and lead us to greatness. 

 

Me on the other hand, will be alittle bit more cautious and take a wait and see approach.

That's the dumbest poo I've read here in awhile. You pretty much just repeated what you said before, but completely fail to realize how ridiculous it sounds. Also, I never said Luke or Cam were elite. Im quoting your drivel.

Was responding to your assertion/comment of winning DROY or OROY. Has nothing to do with someone being elite. Sure its a good sign, but it alone without looking at other factors is useless. 

 

So what are you arguing or trying to disprove? Here are my claims to help you out. 

 

1) Luke is elite and/or further along/more complete at his position than Cam

2) Cam is not elite, and has some things to improve on (footwork & decision making)

3) Assuming 100% that Cam will become an elite QB is a tad bit optimistic and potentially setting yourself up for disappointment.

If you can't even see how illogical and contradictory your statements are, there is nothing to converse about.

Lmao there is no contradiction.

Enlighten me so I can get a chuckle and refute any nonsense you spout.

Are you drunk? You're literally comparing where a second year MLB is to a third year QB. Honestly, I'm not sure why I thought you would be the slightest bit rational in this conversation after reading your draft threads.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Um, no, just no. Bills, Chiefs, Chargers, Ravens, Bengals, Texans, Eagles, Commanders are 8 teams that it's not even a debate, they aren't trading their QB for Purdy. Patriots, Broncos, Titans, Giants, Bears, Vikings, Falcons are 7 more teams with QBs drafted in the last 2 years that also would rather stick with them than trade for Purdy as they all have more upside than he does. Lions, Packers, Cowboys, Bucs are 4 more that would likely keep their QB's as well, age aside for Goff, Dak, and Baker. Panthers and Colts are two teams in the same situation, QB's who have both struggled and shown flashes to where the teams probably stick with them because they drafted them, but in a re-draft of all QB's, they probably take Purdy over the guy they currently have. Jags, Cardinals, Dolphins, are 3 more with QB's who probably have a higher upside than Purdy but come with their own question marks, so debatable if they'd take Purdy over who they already have. That leaves Jets, Raiders, Steelers, Browns, Saints, Seahawks, and Rams. Rams would take him over Stafford for the future of course, but not for 2025, and I'd think the Seahawks would take him over Darnold, but honestly not sure if they would take him over Milroe at this moment as they really like his potential and have him for 4 years really cheap. That leaves 5 teams that I see who would absolutely take him over their current situation right now, and a handful of others who MIGHT take him over their current guy, a far cry from your 20.

      The Bryce Trade is Finally Complete. Who Won the Trade? Panthers vs Bears

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Agreed. Also as soon as they received the top pick in the next draft it was over. Bears won that trade. Gave up a top overall pick got one the next year plus pick 9, a couple 2nds, and DJ Moore a proven young WR. Had their 2024 pick from us be in the late teens or later it would be more debatable IMO.

      Option A:  Pay your starting QB starting QB money. Option B:  Look for a starting QB for 4-10 years (or longer) while wasting the talent at every other position.    How many of the top 20 QB's do you think are worth what they are being paid?   When you factor in the last year of his present deal his contract is really an average of 45 million per year which in today's QB market is a very, very good deal. I wish we'd had found a Brock Purdy to pay 50+ million a year right after we parted ways with Cam.  Ya'll go ahead and live in fairy tale land where good to great (much less elite) QB's are available to pay. Just the fact that they had the chance to pay Brock after the disaster of trading up for Lance is a testament that when you find a quarter back you can win with, complete in the playoffs and superbowls with, you pay him.
