After seeing us reach Super Bowl 50, I came to the conclusion if you can have a great OL , a QB can work magic with any WR core especially if he's decent. WRs can't be covered forever. So if you have a good system, anything above an average QB, and the time to get them the ball, you have a great chance of winning every week.

I think Bryce was a victim of bad coaching, a bad team, and allowing those to create bad habits. You can watch any of his college tape and see that he'd launch the ball and make some great plays. Out of nowhere in the NFL he became a Checkdown machine. It was almost as if he was afraid to throw more than 15 yards (on top of not even having the time for it.) Something about that benching has led to him letting it rip, which opens up the field a lot more. The line is playing better, and there's a swagger that he has now. That's the largest difference I'm seeing in his game.

lol I went through 7 pages expecting someone to explain this by now. This coming from a huge Cam fan. Luke, TD, Jake, Steve all have things in common.. they are retired, with no possibility they'll play for another team. It's just not what the majority of social media teams do. Also this can't be overlooked, we have a massive fanbase that wants to see Cam solve our CURRENT problems. So if we're posting all of his highlights, bringing him around etc. the org and social team has to deal with all of the 'Bring him back!' conversation. I personally believe if he were to retire it would be different.

I saw 4 years $33.2M from the NFL account (not sure if the other 10 is a bonus or something)

Yeah I'm not into college as much, so I admit not to having my own opinion about him coming out. But strictly watching ESPN shows, and going off of commentary at the time..It was a lot more 50/50 even on this board than what people like to remember and admit. Yes many people had doubts and questions, but MANY people also thought he could possibly be the one. I was only versed enough to know that it was between he and CJ, but most pundits made it sound like either way we had a QB of the future, just different skillsets/traits.

I do think that while he was small, Bryce looked solid coming out of Alabama against top competition. A lot of people didn't see checkdown king in his future at that time lol.

I typically feel this way, but after seeing so often that the highest pick doesn't guarantee a thing I'm on the fence.

So you don't understand what an analogy is. Got it. I'm sure this conversation would go far!

You seem to have an answer already so you tell me. Also I should've added 'while he was here'. The comments that I heard from Diontae sounded right on par with a WR that's on a 1-7 team with minimal production from the QB position. Us always wanting choir boys is part of why we have never had back to back winning seasons.

I actually think I DO understand lol. I understand that when you're losing players will say things that are out of character. Diontae did not earn this super diva reputation people are trying to paint while here. The soft teams just go trading those talents away. Diontae was easily one of the top names on the WR market, and we gave him to a team with championship aspirations for a 5th rounder. Not only that but we also gave up a pick as well. For me it's the equivalent of when I'd trade in a game at GameStop and they'd offer me $2 to turn around and sell it for $30. I'd rather hold on to the game, and if I play it I play it, than get robbed bc I just wanted to move that piece. Part of the role Dan has is negotiation, negotiate something better (as shown in this trade.)

Good maybe Steve Smith can focus his time on a project that will pan out for us now lol

Which is NUTS, that was my first thought as well. We definitely won this trade, just keep trading with the Cowboys lol.

Genuine question bc I may be out of the loop, what did he say to throw him under the bus? I heard him sound supportive (or at least neutral) of Bryce even when there wasn't much reason to be.

I'm wishing him well; he came to play, I thought he handled this sh*tshow very well. Go win. Now hopefully we are owed something good and we draft a Tyreek Hill or George Kittle with our 5th rounder lol.
