Cam or Russell - which would you take as your franchise QB

[t96]

Michael Jordan (Cam) vs Isiah Thomas (Wilson)

Russ couldn't even hold Isiah's jockstrap. Isiah carried his team for years with no other superstars except a young Rodman who was coming off the bench and wasn't a superstar at the time. Russ is more like a Robert Horry.

Cam .  Every day and twice on Sunday.    Wilson isn't and has never been the focal point of that offense.   I'd hate to see him in our offense. 

[CharlottePanther]

Neither are elite in my opinion, they are right about the same level. Top 15 QBs

[KissMyConverse]

I love Russel but come on man... 

We don't have the talent around him to use him right. Our team is not good enough to just have a game manager as QB.

 

So I'll take the Game Changer at QB in Cam.

People make it seem Cam is inaccurate every game.

Michael Jordan (Cam) vs Isiah Thomas (Wilson)

 

 

Let's use football folks and make this a little more accurate.

 

 

Cam = Elway

 

Wilson = Steve Young

 

 

Both are great/can be, but completely different QB's.

Oh, and how long are the signed for, how much money are we talking, and what type of system does my team run?

 

That will determine my choice.

[teeray]

Cam.  He has a higher ceiling.

[Cyberjag]

Imagine what Pete Carroll would have done with Cam in his system, and then think about Wilson in Carolina.

 

Cam, all the way (and I'm a big Wilson fan).

[The Huddler]

Wilson can only make plays scrambling and off the play action.

Huddler!! Watch this highlight video . he's amazing!!

aaaaand every play is scrambling and off the play action boot, outside of the pocket.

He is so over hyped it makes me sick to my stomach.

Come on, now. Where would Wilson be if he was placed in our system from day one?

 

Crying and scared on the bench.

I respect your commitment to Cam as a fan, but Russell Wilson was supposed backup Matt Flynn but forced the issue almost immediately.  He was the third QB to enter the game in our first preseason game that year and had worked his way up to start by the final preseason game...he's never given up that position.  Additionally, Wilson has quickly ascended to start in every situation that he has ever been in.  I'm not saying that if Cam was there and the Panthers had drafted Wilson that Cam would have beaten him out....there's no way to know that.  If you guys didn't have Cam though, I can pretty much assure you that Wilson would have found a wya to start.

 

As for your comments about Wilson in your system......have you seen the Hawk's system, WR's or O-Line?   We run block well, but there's a reason Russell is often throwing on the run....our Pass Blocking can be a sieve and our receivers have been called "Pedestrian" many a time.

 

Obviously, I'm one of the votes for Russell BTW....I've seen too much of what he can do, and how he leads our team to go with a guy who may have all of the physical tools but appears to not have put all of them together just yet.

[Chrome_Seahawk]

Cam.  He has a higher ceiling.

The NFL history books are LITTERED with QB's who had a "higher ceiling" than other players that they were drafted above.   The Hawk's selection of Dan McGwire over Brett Favre comes to mind, also Jack Thompson over Joe Montana.  Sometimes the "intangibles" and up mattering more in the NFL than the Physical skills/attributes.

 

Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying Cam is Dan McGwire or Jack Thomspon.....I'm just using them to prove a point about "ceilings".
