Why Can't we be friends?

that's all fine and good if you think that the best players in the league are the ones going to the probowl. i don't.

pro-bowl designation is overrated. it's a popularity contest.

that said...what player has broken the # of records that cam did this year as a rookie and as a player?

LT was impressive for sure, but the things required of an LB and the expectations for an LB are quite different than that of a QB.

buuutttt....if you want to nit pick and say that cam is the 2nd best rookie to ever play the game, i can honestly say i have no problem with this. esp. when you consider that "respectable" guys like mayock and many others said that drafting him was a mistake and some blowfish like gabbert was the best QB heading into the draft last year.

I'm too much of a homer not to point out Mayock said if Cam is all about being an entertainer and icon, you pass on him. If you think he's serious about football, no way you pass him up.. (maybe I missed some other quotes)

lol Blaine Gabbert

Since the jags aren't the falcons, saints, bucs, patriots, or cowboys, i don't have any problem with them til we play each other.

he had cam ranked 3rd behind gabbert and locker until early april when he moved newton above locker but still behind gabbert.

oh I see...

Gabbert still has potential. I haven't given up on him yet. But if he doesn't progress significantly, then it may be time to cut ties.

The Jags have fans?

Sounds like what some people said about Clausen last year around here.

Don't even compare the two.

We'll see what happens next season.

oh snap.. jags fan shows his true insecurity on the situation...

Since Clausen isn't starting you really can't. And based on this year their numbers outside of TDs were pretty similar. Sad really........

But as for liking Jacksonville, not that you didn't pick Chud, why not.......

The difference between Clausen and Gabbert: Clausen was a second round pick. How many second round picks can you think of, Before Dalton, who excelled as rookies?

Gabbert needs weapons.

Clausen had no OL and rookie WRs + SS. He was ruined, as any 22 year old would be under that kind of scrutiny. THe armchair experts who booed him and screamed insults at him succeeded in undermining their QB. It is kinda like being quiet at the game when your team has the ball. Some get it, others are stupid.
