Love that QB.  Best of luck Cam...except week 9.

[LinvilleGorge]

Wow. Honestly didn't expect him to be in that company in passing yardage. Dude was a stud. Wish we had managed his career and our roster smarter.

Man, got to say that's pretty rare company!

Best of luck to Cam!  Sucks he was hung out to dry here, but we did have some fun!

Oh, I thought this was one of those "Which of these does not belong" games where we see 3 guys with Super Bowl rings and one who has none.

Look, I enjoyed Cam's athleticism as much as anyone, but to stand him up to 3 guys with a total of 7 Super Bowl wins among them and try to make any comparison is stupid. Does that yardage total surpassing these guys get him a ring? Big trophy?

Dan Marino and Fran Tarkenton threw it all over the lot, too, but what most people know is they never won the Lombardi Trophy; not how many yards they threw for.

Yeah, it's all Cam's fault we didn't win a SB with him. I mean, he could've done more than just carry our entire offense. Lazy bastard should've been playing defense too! Is he too busy worried about his outfit to to kick and punt?!

Calm down. Relax.

There are a lot of reasons those Panther teams didn't succeed, the least of which was Cam- I'm well aware. But adding his bust to a second tier Mt. Rushmore that includes Aikman, Young and Warner? C'mon, man.

The thread didn't say that. Simply stated the facts of the stats. 

But since you mentioned Aikman, imagine what Cam would've done behind that OL.

I'd settle for any Pittsburgh O-line in the last 20 years, since this was the team that wanted to build itself like the Steelers...

The good organizations tend to have good OLs. It's not a coincidence.

Assuming Cam is about done, and it's beginning to look that way.... yeah, it was on par with a Marino career.  Close but no cigar.  Jurys still out tho.
