So basically you have no argument for that, and are attempting to shoot holes in it by calling him a liar.

Makes sense.

 

 

You think that a casual comment made before last season is the basis for a long-term commitment and Mr. Richardson is bound to abide by it regardless of the wins and losses / productivity that followed?  You suggest that no matter what Gettlemen thinks, Mr. Richardson will override his GM because he made a comment to support his QB to a reporter in August of 2012?  You are telling others about making "sense"?

 

We all say things that come back to bite us.  That is the underlying point in Sorenson's article---the point you missed.  How things have changed, in other words, without actually saying it. 

 

I don;t even think you understood my initial point because not one thing you have said addressed it.

All you're giving me is your opinion, not facts. I'm sorry to break it to you, but that doesn't change what he said.

True but G-man's experience with Eli should help him in realizing that he should ignore fan and media noise.

Eli in his 4th season threw 20 INTs played terrible in some key games. Fans were booing him and the NY Post plastered his face on the front page with the headline "Eli the Terrible"

He the went on to win the Super Bowl that same year.

That was Eli's 4th season. We are only two games into Cams third and the birds are already chirping.

Patience has always been the key to Cams development as with any young QB. It isn't like he has been defunct as a QB he just hasn't been perfect.

He will be fine I just hope we have the patience as a fan base and franchise to see it through. Judging by some of these threads I am starting to have my doubts

 

I am not throwing Cam to the wolves--my initial comment was that Gettlemen may decide, depending on who he hires as the next coach, that Cam is not a good fit.  Cam could eliminate that conjecture with improved play, and I am not seeing the development I hoped for.

 

Gettlemen would not move Cam unless he was presented with a sweet deal.  Gettlemen might like a QB in the draft or a coach who prefers a different-style qb.   If he decides to keep Cam, and he probably will, it may impact his decisions.

 

I see Cam's tremendous ability.  I simply would like to know--and nobody actually knows---what needs to be done to make him elite.  I am pretty sure an OL and a few stud WRs would make him better, but how much better?

 

Gettlemen has to make a decision in a year or two, and that decision will define his career.  Do you give Cam $120 million if you are not sure about his talent?  We are not looking at it from that perspective.   I want Cam to make that an easy decision.  If Gmen had to make it right now, I think it could go either way.  It is simply something worth discussing if people are interested in exploring what could be going on behind the scenes.  Suggesting it does not make me a hater (not suggesting you think so) but a person who is interested in the decision-making process that they face.

 

That is why I am upset that Cam was not given weapons or protection this year.  We may have to wait until 2014 to see how good he can actually be--

I now see the light.  Thank you.

 

"Ten of the 12 teams in the playoffs this year had true pocket passers," Gettleman said. "At the end of the day, the quarterback has to make plays from the pocket. I think the read option is an option. But at the end of the day, your quarterback has got to make plays from the pocket, and if he can't, you're going to struggle."

 

Hmmm.  Gettlemen is just giving his opinion....

It's kind of hard being a pocket passer when your sacked 6x hit 12 and pressured all games.

 

I don't know any pocket passer who thrives in that situation.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By strato · Posted

      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.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      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
