Duuuur the F***KING thread topic

So did Cam set the bar for every QB or just RG III?

personally would love to see them both contending and changing minds for a longtime..

Ask the Colts fans who are expecting Cam-like numbers from Andrew Luck.

[pOpCoRnPoPpEr]

Set the bar for what exactly?

[BBQ&Beer]

Meh, barring him getting jumped by the injury bug, RGIII is gonna be worth the trade.

Having said that, I would say that even if he doesn't wind up being a top tier QB, the risk was would still be worth it.

just two men talking sports, nothing more. no need to put shanahan up on a pedestal and be overly respectful. i'm sure shanahan appreciates it.

From his perspective I imagine he doesn't care about the opinion of anyone that is not directly "in" football.

[TheRed]

I haven't filed in over 15 years.

Pm me your full name and ssn. Got some new friends for ya.

Anyway.

I don't know, of all the coaches to approach not related to the panthers. Shanahan? I would have kept walking.

only if he's a pompous prick. obviously he won't use these discussions to run his football team but why can't he just "chill" and talk sports?

Because that is what he does all day.

Do you like to talk about work all the time?

Why can't people understand that when these "stars" are "off work" they don't want to talk about some random persons opinion and what the public thinks the NFL is?

again, why are you putting him on a pedestal? he is your equal. every man (well, most) enjoys talking sports.

i understand not to hound them by asking for autographs/insider info/etc but there's nothing wrong with sitting there and debating sports topics like you would do with any other regular guy.

Actually, if you think about it, I am taking him off a pedestal.

He is just a man. When people are off work they often get asked the most ridiculous questions about their jobs and often hear the same things they have heard a million times.

Is my train of thought really that far out there? It is not about one instance either; can you imagine how many times per day he runs into the same issues?

it's not. we'll just agree to disagree i suppose.

would it be different if they started casually talking about basketball instead of football?

He's faster and more accurate than Cam. Maybe not as strong of and arm but RG3 still has a rocket no doubt. He's a much better passer than Vick was it this point in their careers, Vick is more shifty and Cam is much more powerful as runners but its a different offense RG3 will be working in. He will not be asked to take a pounding the way other so called "athletic" quarterbacks were. He's a passer 1st and foremost. Nevermind the speed. If he was as stiff in the pocket as Kerry Collins he still would have the skills to excel in the NFL. On the other hand reading defenses, speed of the game, staying healthy, we'll see.

Let's wait to see RG3 play in an NFL game before we start comparing him to Cam.
