Captain F Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I do not want Cam, but some yahoo on here is going to start this, so it might as well be me. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ibleedgreen1990 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 Cam>flacco. I’d take him as the veteran qb over what we currently have. Closer skill set to hurts too so if he came it we could run the same scheme. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The main question is if he'll willingly mentor Hurts as the QB2 since you're talking about a guy who's used to starting compared to Flacco who's now become used to life as a backup?

Cam might want to go somewhere he can compete to start. But also remember he had nothing but positive things to say about hurts. Actually called him little bro I think. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UK_EaglesFan89 Posted August 31, 2021 Share Posted August 31, 2021 I mean look... I'm not advocating that they bring in Newton but this move would make more sense than bringing in Flacco or trading for Minshew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last thing we need this year is more of that crap. That is why we brought in Flacco to be the #2. The Minshew trade is interesting because he was pretty cheap. When you consider what we were able to get in trades from Feeley, Kolb, Foles and Bradford, what we paid for Minshew was pennies. Don't be surprised if the Eagles are hoping for a chance to flip him for a better pick in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say running because that is why Cam can't hold a job anymore, he can't run for anymore. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Minshew has more mobility then Cam at this point and can at least pass with some accuracy. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair Minshew threw 66.1 completion last year and Newton was 65.8 so that's a wash, and Newton had 137 rushing attempts at 4.4 yards a carry with 12 TD's so the mobility thing probably doesn't stand up either, his decision making was certainly spotty but he was coming off a major injury so he was always going to be rusty. Newton is tarred by playing on the worst Patriot's team I can remember, certainly this century, but if you could persuade him to play a back up role with a potential to come in if Hurts flames out, it's definitely arguable he'd be a better option than Minshew or Flacco in terms of similarity to the starters skill set.

Can was also used as a glorified goal line running back last year. It was is lowest yards per carry he has had in his career to go along with 6 fumbles. This was also only the second time in his 10 year career that he threw over a 62% completion percentage. He is a career 60%. This is also the lowest amount of times he has thrown in his career so it's a good possibility that helped him. Also probably explains only throwing for 8 TDs and 10 interceptions. So he would probably fall back to earth if he is asked to throw more at this stage. I don't want any of them so there is that lol. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cam will probably be on the market until some teams QB implodes or gets hurt Flacco is gonna end up 3rd string anyways or cut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would be a problem with the players they have there. better than cam has had anywhere at any point in his career. I’m content with hurts and minshew as 1 and 2.. don’t want cam so he can start. But he is a better depth player than flacco and there are more reasons to do it than not to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I'm not risking a 3rd stringer breaking protocols and putting players at risk and still dont bother getting the vaccine. I'm not effing up my QB room by having them all have to sit out because he wants to go out and party like nothing is going on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be accurate but could be bs. we already have our leaders. He isn’t coming in here and gonna be a top dog. He already showed love for the guy he is going to mentor potentially also. Him being a distraction as a third stringer is an assumption. Him being better than flacco was proven this off-season. now I don’t think he takes a contract where the situation doesn’t give him a chance at the starting role, but if he does you gotta sign him.
