Who's everyone?  I've only seen two people suggest that.  That's not everyone.

Posters tend to exaggerate.  5 people posting that Cam will be gone = the board and fanbase hate Cam and want him gone. 

Whether he stays or goes largely depends on our assessment of his health.  That hasn't changed.

And who the new HC is.  If it's a guy that runs an offense that is timing based and relies on accuracy where the QB stays in the pocket, then we likely move on from even a healthy Cam.  However, if it's a guy that can innovate and knows how to utilize a weapon like Cam, then he likely stays, if healthy.

One point I will make that I see a lot.  I am not sure Cam will be unwilling to play out his final year here.  I'm sure he'd prefer an extension, but he likely understands that wherever he goes, he's probably going to have a prove-it year.  Even if we traded him and he signs an extension with his new team, that contract would likely have an out for the team if his health doesn't hold up.  Nobody knows what his health is going to be, especially how it will hold up over the course of the season.  So, I wouldn't be at all surprised if he plays out the year knowing that he could maximize his value by showing that he can stay healthy.  After all, a healthy Cam will bring a MUCH higher price tag than one with serious questions about his long-term health.

A good coach will adjust his system to the abilities of the offense that he has.  If the coach can't do that, then we probably shouldn't hire him.

To a point, but most coaches have a fundamental philosophy that they will not deviate too far from.  They may adjust what they do, but most aren't going to complete overhaul it. 

But more to the point in this case, Cam is 30 years old, and coming off some significant injuries.  And he has a very specific style he plays with.  It doesn't fit all offenses, and not every coach wants to run that kind of offense.  So I can easily see why a new coach may want to bring someone in that better fits what they want to do and whom they have more confidence in their long-term health.

Mc52:  But it helps my hazardously low self-esteem if I feel right and make others feel wrong.  Gosh.

 

When there is change afoot, people speculate--there is probably no better place to do that than on a discussion board.  Only a yet-to-be-weaned twit would keep score and weaponize everyone's conjecture.

      Redzone Offense vs. KC by drive

      By Icege · Posted

      NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.

      Crazy stat

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
