If Cam has an MVP type season, what will be the reason?

[Ivan The Awesome]

Will it be because of him being  100% healthy? 

 

Will it be because the front office finally got him the weapons he needs?

 

Will it be because he finally has a competent offensive line?

 

Or will it be because the light finally came on for him and his swag is to the moon? 

 

 

[therealmjl]

All of the above. 

 

It will take a mixture of all this as well as a competent offensive playcalling strategy.

[Zaximus]

It will be the most amazing thing considering who is OC is.

[Sean Payton's Vicodin]

Mass retirement of NFL defensive players and other QBs, and Shula.

[Ivan The Awesome]

MVP type season doesn't mean he wins the MVP award. Just making that clear.

SCP

[teeray]

Means we are winning and that is all I care about

[Udogg]

It will mean:

He will be #27 on the top 100.  They will start the clip by saying. ... he is alright but he isn't Andrew Luck.

Someone will make a top 10 QB list and leave him off just to drive website hits.

The people who hate him will hate him more.

There will be endless articles about his TD and first down celebrations.

Some report questioning his commitment will come out of the blue.

Someone will say he has better pocket awareness and clearly ignore that it's probably the most stable pocket he has seen since his rookie year.

Aaron Rodgers, Luck, Either of the Mannings, Drew Brees, Matt Ryan, Flacco, Roethlisburger, Kaep, Wilson, RG3, etc.. would have to have had a horrible year for Cam to win it over them.

It'll be because he goes HAM

[mbarbour21]

   Well, I think he played pretty well for an injured player. I also believe he has had MVP caliber seasons (just without wins) even though he hasn't had a great supporting cast. I think a competent o-line will help as well as weapons, but I think the only way he gets MVP recognition is if the team produces wins. He could have the same stat line with a 7-8-1 team as he does with a 13-3 team but he wouldn't receive recognition with the 7-8-1 team because the wins wouldn't be there. No matter how valuable he is (and has been) to the team, he won't win MVP until the team wins. For an individual award it requires team success......that's just how it is. So, none of the above.

My answer: Wins

[t96]

There won't be any one REASON. Everything you said would factor in. Plus his development will continue like it has every year. I think, despite the bad stats and what looked like bad play on the surface, he improved a lot last year and it was a big learning year for him. He was in the MVP discussion early last year before the line went haywire, even with the busted ankle and ribs and poor overall "weapons." I really hope this is THE YEAR for Cam, and I don't see any reason why it won't be. He has the ability physically and mentally to be an MVP-caliber player, and I do think it'll show this year. Only possible hinderance is Shula, but I'm willing to give him a chance now that we have better personnel to run his offense. It seemed to work well down the stretch last year, when our interior was shored up, Philly was inserted and Stew was healthy. That was evidenced by our game against Seattle where our offense was actually carrying the team. If the defense played like it should have (or we had Hardy and Star...) we scored more than enough points to win that game.

More passing yardage.

More passing TDs.

Get back to rushing.

A slew of rushing TDs.

Lead his team back to the Playoffs.

All of that would equate to an MVP type season for Cam.

In other words ... be even better.

[PFFC]

SCP's helmet facing the correct direction.

[Mr. Scot]

Same reason anybody has an MVP season, honestly.

Because he played well.
