Kaepernick- 4 Years, Nevada

Wilson- 4 Years, NCSU-Wisconsin

Luck- 4 Years, Stanford

RG3- 4 Years, Baylor

Dalton- 4 Years, TCU

EJ- 4 Years, FSU

Geno- 4 Years, WVU

 

Cam Newton- 1 year at Florida [doesnt really count], 1 year at Blinn college [title], 1 year at Auburn [title]

 

If you dont think this amounts to anything tangible, i have a bridge for sale. Cam is still growing with his game, and it sucks we havent given him the tools to become the QB we all know he can be.

And if you think about it, the year at Blinn doesnt really qualify because that was to prepare him for the SEC which is supposed to prepare you for the league. He only spent one year in college playing football at a level that can somewhat help you transition into being a pro.

give him an OL.

give him an OC who takes advantages of his strengths and works around his limitations.

give him a HC who trusts his abilities.

give him a GM who builds around him.

give him his confidence back.

give him the ability to just make things happen.

give him a team that doesn't think that losing is ok and just something that happens that you have to get used to.

 

right QB. crappy situation.

So he wasn't ready. Just playing devils advocate....

 

We didnt necessarily draft him with the intentions of playing right away, but he proved to be our best option and an option that had a higher ceiling than anyone playing the position in the entire league.

 

I personally think he was "ready". Sometimes you just gotta get through the rough learning curve before you truly become what the expectations were.

You absolutely draft someone #1 overall with the intentions of them starting right away....

 

When is the 'rough' learning curve over?  We're in year 3 btw

Great point.  Also helps to explain some of the locker room and "maturity" issues.

 

 

I admit I was taken back when the story came out about Cam working out in a seperate room and distancing himself from teammates until Thomas Davis called him out in front of everyone.  Cam has shown great strides this year IMO in that regard, and rather we like to admit it or not, he did have a lot of growing up to do.

True, mentally/experience wise he is behind. As far as talent wise, he isn't behind. Not including his 6'5, 250lb frame. Also, he didnt run a pro style offense like some others. But like he said when he came in the league, "Just because I haven't done it, doesn't mean I can't." Which is very true.

Also, to answer csx:

He was ready to play QB at an NFL level. (Hince his insane production/stats; team wins don't count as it takes a whole team to win or lose). We seen his ceiling and pulled the trigger. I believe he has a higher ceiling than any of them.

Also, other young QBs benifited from things like weak schedule (Luck), 1,000+ yards rushing (RG3/Wilson/maybe Kaep), coach/weapons (Kaep/Wilson). Not taking anything from them, but replace them with Cam and you would have got same result or better.

      Do You Agree With These Excuses?

      By Saca312 · Posted

      Extrapolate that with every QB for that matter. I guarantee you there's quite a bit of missed opportunities and yards left on the field for everyone. Many NFL QBs deal with WRs not putting in A+ effort, subpar o-line play and other deficiencies. The great ones are able to rise above these issues and create opportunities for plays. Guys like Josh Allen and Patrick Mahomes can both play in and out of structure, as well as find ways to get yards when things break down and mask mistakes by throwing guys open, creating opportunities from nothing, etc. Bryce Young has only shown he's able to make things happen when the rest of the team picks up his slack. Very rarely does he create those opportunities himself. When this is a consistent pattern year after year with Bryce where he shows up lackluster, it's a concern. This is year three and he should be elevating the team as a first overall pick this franchise traded up for.  He was far from elevating anyone against JAX. In fact, he needed others to elevate and create for him. Excuses may be fine for a rookie, but this is year three for the first overall pick. Not looking good so far.

      I think the worst issue is coaching. Countless bad snaps, XL not getting his feet in or trying on runs plays, our centre being down field when he didn't need to be. All seem to be from poor coaching for me. I believe Canales is to soft to rip the players a new one when the fug up. Plus I honestly believe that Canales is slow getting his plays in giving Bryce less time to diagnose and adjust to the defence. Don't worry I could of head butted Bryce for that fumble and the 4th down throw aways but the other plays are explainable to me
