Cam holds the t’d record is on Vick’s heels as far as the rushing record, except the inevitable.

now we’re changing the argument, you said name a hof qb his stats compare to I told you everyone except you Brady’s, joe Montana’s  

First no I am not changing the subject. Cam's PASSING stats are nowhere near his contemporaries. You can't compare Cam to Montana no more than you can compare Mohomes to Montana. Totally different eras.  And for me, like the vast majority of most NFL fans and I presume coaches and FOs, I like my QB to be good at passing. And Cam is not. Because the history is clear. QBs that depend on the run to set up passes are short lived and are not very efficient. The only one close is Steve Young who had an exceptional career and is a HOF. And cam is not on the same planet as him. 

As for running sure Cam has way more TDs but  Vick has 1100 MORE yards rushing on 50 LESS attempts. Cam will be lucky if he gets 600 yards more in his career based on injury history and wear and tear. He needs to concentrate on becoming a better passer to extend his career. which he should have done years ago. HIs throwing mechanics are still god awful.

Why would the pay level be different in the 2 scenarios?

Once Cam becomes a free agent his value drops 50% for some reason?

If Cam is ready to play why would he have to sign deal 50% lower than Teddy Bridgewater?

Given their respective track records should Cam command a better track record than Teddy?

Because there are very few open spots left.  It’s the Chargers and who else????   And if that’s the case they hold all the cards.  It’s starting to look like Cam won’t even start this year.  What a tragedy.

Doesn't explain why Cam would be paid 50% less after becoming a free agent.

I don't think the Chargers are an option.  Everything I read says they are going roll with Tyrod short-term and draft Tua or Justin for the future.

Ditto Dolphins.

By my estimation the only open spot is the Patriots. 

Was with a friend yesterday who is a New England native life-long Patriots fan and he thinks Cam & Belichick would be repulsed by each other in equal measures!

Agree that the odds of Cam being an NFL starter on opening day are exceedingly low.  Will be interesting to see how things go between Cam and his agent.

Right.   Since there is no demand who the hell is gonna pay full value for Cam.  You just made my point.  There isn’t a team left that needs him.  Therefore his value is diminished.  Supply and Demand my friend.

I think he is going to Redskins

Curious, what do you think full value is for Cam?

You ask specifically to compare him to a hof qb than are saying it’s unfair cause it was a different era......come on man, and you do realize these qbs you keep gushing over spend majority of there careers with hof wrs right? You can have crisp clean cut throwing mechanics but if the wrs ain’t open they ain’t open point blank period, you said he wouldn’t sniff the hof that is laughable when you compare ACCOMPLISHMENTS to his contemporaries not just stats

I don’t think anyone knows that right now.  Cam’s people have been desperately trying to work a trade and no one will even sniff the 20 mil for next year. I think a lot of that is because he can’t get a real physical from any team.  The current country’s situation has left it so teams cannot determine his health.  So because they can’t determine a value they are looking elsewhere. Sad to see.

Tom Brady completed his physical last Thursday the 19th.

      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.
