If Cam plays against San Fran... thoughts

IF Cam plays against San Fran

- We all should hope he returns to MVP form and dominates. That would mean this team is Superbowl bound for sure. 

- It BETTER mean he is fully healthy. If this coaching staff plays him at anything less and risk further injury they should all be fired immediately. 

- If he does not play well I do not want to hear about rust. I do not want to hear about injury. This would indicate the coaching staff rushed him back. See point 2. 

- The WORST thing that could happen (aside from injury) is for Cam to start and the coaching staff realizes that he isn't ready and have to bench him. Even I do not want to witness the hell storm that would result.

Think he comes back vs Tennessee 

Home game, easier D and team.

 

 

Again this is all if he is 100%  99 or less he'll still be inactive 

You have to play the best player. Healthy Cam is better than healthy Kyle. You can't sit a guy because they are playing a good team.

My thoughts are the same as I've been saying...

Whoever you pick as a starter, stick with them.

If Allen is the guy, don't pull him the first time he struggles. That's a terrible way to handle a young quarterback.

If it's Newton, don't hit the panic button if he's rusty. Let him play and knock the rust off.

Basically, don't be Jon Gruden.

Newton wouldn't start practicing until next week though, right?  Even if he's healthy, I don't think you can play him vs San Fran unless you think he's able to get his timing down that quickly.  It will have been over a month since he's played.

If Cam is done we need to ride our high quality backup the rest of the year. It is a harsh reality of the NFL. I love Cam but this was his prove it year. I want him back at his best but if that has passed, it's time to deal with it. Best case, Cam is a beast for a couple more years and we have a high value backup. Worst case, we will be talking about drafting another stud every offseason until we do draft one. I do not look forward to those days again.

the moat important part of being successful in the NFL is knowing when to cut your losses

Cam can’t even fly with the team or stand up for long periods.  I think all this is a wasted energy.  I don’t buy Cam suddenly getting to 100% over the bye week.  And 100% is what everyone claims it will take to get him back

      Crazy thought on next QB

      By strato · Posted

      We all realized, or should have, how green he is. Asked to play call, to fix Bryce, and to learn how to be a HC.  Anyhow, my pitchfork is pointed at Young, and Tepper for dictating that all resources be thrown at floating that boat. But the bottom line is I pledged patience for his first year. It is a horrible situation he came into, as well, with this QB clouding the picture. I like the way the offense looked once we could see it. It didn't look good against the first real strong D we faced, true. That is one of the moments I conceded to first year growing pains. Can't really lobby that it was good but can believe the evidence at season's end. When we have all of it. You evaluate him on how he transitions away from Young

      Drafting Quality From 2019-2023(It could actually be worse)

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      That actually not really true. If you look at the raw data, it's far more common for lower round picks to stick around far longer on the teams at the top of that list. Largely because they do a better job of talent evaluation and also utilizing players more effectively, IMO.  It's also that the "hits" are much bigger and/or much more frequent.

      Dalton Honeymoon Over

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      I have no qualms with Dalton nor rolling with him beyond this year. He was never going to be a miracle worker. Yesterday he needed a miracle to be able to overcome the horrible defense. He didn't play horrible at all.
