Cam sitting on a high school field with his dad interviewing him week 1...trying to argue why his NFL career isn't over.

I love Cam.  Tied with Luke as my favorite all time.  But it's done for all practical purposes.  And he is still probably one of the best 32 today.  But there simply isn't a fit for Cam.  He has to be one of the 32 starters.  It just doesn't work any other way.  He can't be a backup.   And no team wants to go the Cam starter route it appears.  Call it a day boss. 

 

Very True......Cam personality/pride is probably to big to allow him to be a back up. I can't see a team making him a starter and this point, unfortunately for him the NFL will retire you even if you aren't ready to go.

Sam, PJ, and the practice squad guy could all get hurt today.  Cam has a 0% chance of returning here. 

PJ and random PS guy when we are 4-0 with a hot start will get the phones going.  Whether a deal gets done is debatable but Cam will be relevant all season once a qb goes down.

Right now Cam is the best FA QB on the market and I have no idea why I am telling this to the Huddle Lounge.

I think he gets another shot somewhere this season. There's bound to be an injury somewhere along the line on a contending team. What better option than Cam? His vax status is the biggest concern right now.

    • I would argue this has literally always been the case for almost the entire existence of the NFL. There are substantially more busts than hits, across all rounds. I would say also that there doesn't appear to be much evidence for college quarterbacks being less prepared than before. Certainly in some cases they are vastly underprepared but that has always been the case.  I would definitely make the argument that in every single major sport that athletes are VASTLY more experienced than 20, 30 and more years ago. A lot of that is due to earlier specialization in sport(versus just playing all the sports from K-12), DRAMATICALLY more reps and practice(travel ball, summer leagues, etc) and far greater access to specialized training(most high end players/prospects have specific trainers even before college). All of these things were not readily available decades ago. So the theoretical "10,000 reps" are being hit far, far sooner for most younger athletes. As for the argument for "gimmick offenses" being a problem. I mean....think about how prevalent things like the triple option were in the 70's, 80's and even 90's. Or just offenses in general that were absolutely extinct at the NFL level.  I think there are some general issues with certain positions and the development cycles in college but overall, the development in college has actually improved tremendously. The thing is, it's never going to improve enough to where you are just getting insanely high hit rates on prospects or large percentages of draft picks immediately playing like 8 year veterans. It will never really work like that.
    • Yeah sure some teams are not gonna want to have to recruit a QB like its college BUT you got add in desperation. One team WILL fall in love and go after him. A HC or GM on the hot seat will look past deion and draft him. 
    • The merchandise sales are such an infinitesimally small portion of NFL revenue as to be completely laughable. The NFL is as prone to wanting big market teams or traditional powers to succeed as any other major professional sport in the country. I don't really think there is a lot of evidence of "team bias" as much as there is ample evidence of "star player bias." The NFL has suffered from that for decades. It's also not as prevalent as it is in the NBA, which is just transparently tilted towards the star players. Overall, this season the refs have stood out more for their general incompetence rather than anything fishy. Still not as bad as some referees in professional sports(but MILES better than the glorified rec. refs that are in college sports). There does appear to be a general decline in the NFL refs this season. Haven't paid enough attention to see if it is certain crews or not.
