That is how I remember it too. It was similar to how people portray Bryce in 2026 without his option picked up. I mean people didn’t think it was gonna be peaches and cream with Cam on an expiring contract, same as they are predicting for Bryce. IIRC the impression I got was Cam was not gonna be happy and if Cam ain’t happy nobody’s happy, to borrow a cliché from mama. It isn’t like Bryce because Bryce is the same Bryce, but Cam was not the same Cam. You cannot overlook that but I felt like his attitude was he expected the team to do business as usual. Not to acknowledge the fact that he was physically different and have that reflected in a new valuation. Which I don’t know how that was supposed to work out..

Deserve’s got nothin’ to do with it Do people deserve being born rich? Poor? It just happens. Like our QBs happen to us. We have nothing to do with that. Have they ever asked us before signing a single one? And that towel over his head was pretty strange if I am honest. Was he going for an endorsement? I wouldn’t like Caleb Williams’ fingernails I can tell you that. But if he QBs them to a division title in his second year, Bears fans will tolerate that gladly. It is all overblown.

Blissfully ignorant. If we were that stupid this would be a happier place. Baby.

Yeah we all want to have the best. You are honest about it. Cam had his faults but man did he have the tools covered. I would happily settle for a guy in the Jake mold for a few seasons. He had NFL level tools. Not top level but we weren’t super constrained by his limitations and he made his teammates better and they also made him better. We had a fighting chance with him. Matching his will to win would be harder than matching his tools. But we don’t have to have the best for things to potentially be a lot better. IMO anyway.

How does anything improve bringing Bryce back? You think he can get better? He has had three years and is pretty much below sea level with the annual Falcon bump. What is there for him to improve, that he has shown he can improve? Something he can control. What I usually hear is improve the people around him, and if that is the case I say we could do that with a better QB.

Well we really value your input Shocker. we couldn’t know how horrible we were if you weren’t here to tell us.

He showed right away. Physically including passing the football there was no doubt from the start. And we are told not to want that because it is so rare. Yeah okay but I see that ball flight in my head and 85% of that would be more than enough. We should want that and not be sorry for it.

That guy at quarterback school needs to hear this.

I don’t think he is a pussy but otherwise you got it. Always had the benefit of superior talent around him. I mean, you want to get the best people you can. People better than you if you can get them And he had that.

Yep since 2017. And we won’t this year barring some fluke poo. But this might be the high water mark record wise this late in the year since back then. One thing to say about this and how it relates to Canales. To Morgan, to whoever. This is happening with Bryce freaking Young. The walking handicap. Just everybody try to keep that in mind.

Man I quit watching last year basically because I said I would if they stuck with him. This happened with people slurping him before that last probably two maybe three games. When we won vs NYG and he had basically done nothing but everyone wanted to give him credit for whatever that was. I didn’t see the point of hanging. People didn’t want to know. Then he had that Atlanta finish and I thought well, that is something, but I wasn’t signing in to comment. I just don’t know what they are looking at. Is he blowing them?

I appreciate the news. I will say he is guaranteed right on one thing, there is too much invested. I hate say what I think of throwing another year down the drain.

Yeah. The WRs and the OL and the coaching were excuses. You should be able to see it along with those things holding him back. You should see every part of it. You should see clearly how they held him back. It wasn’t there to see.

this was the year for competition. He needs to be replaced.

If you are a masochist, Panthers are the team for you. I think Tepper is a Sadist and enjoys his power to hurt us. He plots our misery. I can picture it now “Nicole, this is working out great. These hicks really hate Bryce. Let’s pick up that option and watch the SOBs cry. It’ll be great”.

I was really going off of what I saw in Tampa. And with Andy a little. Can’t do that with Young. And yeah he is no Dan Henning/Fox with the stubborn attitude of we are run it and run it and run it some more. Is he ADHD where he forgets he is supposed to be running it? Kidding. Maybe it is the WR coaching background that overrides the commitment to running it.

Sure it has. That is why nobody wants to come here, because you can’t get anywhere through hard work.

Yeah that tiptoe backpedal is a first. Never saw that before. It was … I don’t know the word, but baffling and horrifying at the same time. baffifying. It doesn’t strain credulity it obliterates it. And FWIW I don’t say that to demean him, I say it to demean the common sense of people who looked at that and thought “yeah, he is worth the 1.1”. WTF are people looking at?

Hard to beat. Man so many sides are hard to beat. Actual stuffing inside the bird is pretty great. With the real scratch gravy.

I feel like there are guys on rosters now that most of us don’t know about who would be a slight upgrade at worst.

If he didn’t come back after 448 yards and no picks, he might have died. Or maybe his super computer locked him in his basement.

He is typical ball control play action take some deep shots that has been done in the league forever. It is sound if you have the players. It isn’t innovative or exotic or flashy which attracts a lot of people.

How hard was it really for people to look at him and assess his physical ceiling? He is historically tiny and has zero tools that are above average for NFL players. Not a single one. And sub average arm strength. Hello? You didn’t even have to get into his atrocious footwork and throwing mechanics.

Man there are some really good side dishes. No way to pick one but I will go with the old school SC corn pudding. and this team? Hmm. Underripe persimmon pie. With a little overripe persimmon on top.

That you are even considering it…. Optimistic.
