It was 1968 and the Jets where on the way to the Superbowl led by a very polarizing QB named Joe Namath. He wore outrageous outfits, had beautiful woman draped all over him and was very outspoken. He was all over tv and on every magazine cover, of course there was no internet. The few that are my age will remember well.

Many people hated him, some saw him as a terrible role model while others loved him for it. I can only imagine what it would have been like if social media or cell phones where around.

The point I am making is that all this fuss about Cam is nothing new. I am happy that Cam insists on being who he is and not let the outside noise change him. Joe Willie followed his own path and they won the Superbowl. Cam may very well do the same forty eight years later.

Let's hope it's not just 1 SB win and panty hose and kissing sideline reporters. 

Cam is a much better QB then Namath. If all goes well, this may be the first of many SB appearances for him. The hoopla around his personality and persona reminds me of the same circus around Namath back in the day.

qualify this plz

As in people always talking about how Cam should follow the examples of quarterbacks in the past.  Point being McMahon was a terrible role model and if Cam acted like McMahon people would be calling for Cams head.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
