Question for everyone here.  Russell Wilson throws at a 66 percent clip, has 14 TDs and 10 INTs.  While Cam throws at a 54 percent clip, and has 20 TDS and 9 ints.  Who would people rather have at this point?  

I'll take the 20 touchdowns and 1 less pick.

I see where you are going, but I kinda disagree with it.

Higher completion % keeps your defense on the sideline, and their defense on the field.  It keeps you ahead of the down and distance, and allows you to control the game.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of "guys who score points" but you also need to be methodical at times as well.

Cam says he doesn't care about his completion % even though last season he set a goal to have at least 60%. 

Cam is more than capable of 60%+. He did it in 2013 with a short, dink-and-dunk offense. But that's not his style. We take shots down the field, so he's not going to look like Alex Smith.

It's definitely something he's gotta fix. With the way this offense is ran, I can accept his completion % being around 57 - 61 percent. I say it's something he's got to fix, because I know it's something he's highlighted as an area of opportunity before. 

The whole team is trash right now, and just like the team will be better next year, so will Cam.

I'm not disagreeing with you. I just don't buy that he "doesn't care" what his completion % is.

      Bears fire Matt Eberfus

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      According to multiple players and staffers in the locker room, some players were asking why Eberflus didn’t call a timeout. Other players got going, too. “Guys were furious,” a staff member said. “It was an accumulation of this season.” “The locker room was ugly,” another staffer said. “There was a lot of yelling.” Said the first player: “We felt as players it’s been too many instances where we fought our way back into games to lose because of bad time management and decision-making.” Multiple sources added that the emotions were so high between the players and their head coach that Eberflus left the locker room immediately after his speech and the exchange with players. There was nothing left to say. It was a moment for this Bears team that would inevitably force chairman George McCaskey into something the franchise had never done before. By Friday morning, Eberflus was out — but not before the team decided to have him address the media over Zoom just after 9 a.m. Two hours later, he was gone. The Bears made it official by sharing statements from general manager Ryan Poles and president/CEO Kevin Warren.

      Some love for Steve Wilks

      By rayzor · Posted

      You take all this stuff too personally.  Learn to detach. Lol or don't. It's up to you. People don't have the same appreciation or longing for him you seem to have. For me, I just don't understand it. Basically a footnote in Panthers history. Go ahead if you feel he needs it or you need it, but most apparently just don't know why it's such a big deal. Comparing him to guys like kuechly or cam is kind of weak. Those guys made a huge impact on the franchise. Wilks was just a guy we had as a DC a couple times and got him to be an interim. Mildly interesting, but not much more than that as time goes on.

      @adamjahns   In Detroit, Bears players finally had enough. The locker room was an ugly scene. Players yelled back at their head coach — and he left. The inside story on the final days of Matt Eberflus and where he lost his team.  https://x.com/adamjahns/status/1862848299981541516
