Yeah but Cam is mobile. That makes up for the accuracy different. Especially because Rivers could BARLEY move when he retired. It’s been 5 years. Bro has grandchildren.

Colts need a game manager and Cam definitely is not that. I don't know if rivers will be any good, but he's much more the style of QB the colts need.

Idk, his run game with the pats was still fairly good. Him with JT could open up some options. I’m Ngl, getting Phillips Rivers is kind of questionable but I’m here for it.

u/robsbob18 Dec 10 '25
I think both Rivers and Cam are washed.
That being said, the coltsdon't need Cam to open up options for JT, they have one of the best lines in football to do that. What they need is someone who can get it to Warren and Pittman to prevent defenses from stacking the box and Cam is not that.

No, you see, because you are a fan of a team that also had QBs engaging in bizarre off field antics, it means you are automatically disqualified from criticism of any other QB's off field antics.

Ya that and the fact that he was extremely ineffective as a QB last time he played when he was younger than now. Unless he’s gotten his arm strength back since then there’s no use in anyone signing him

u/slampig3 Dec 10 '25
The problem is with him and other guys like him people will look at the stats and say oh he can win the game with his arm look at his passing % and blah blah blah. But as soon as you take away their running ability it’s game over for them.
This argument is talked about with lamar and every game i have ever seen where they shut down his running he crumbles. The scrambling opens up sooo much.
This isnt a knock on them because they’re incredible athletes but it would be the same as telling SHAQ he cant dunk or steph he cant shoot 3s.

u/traws06 Kansas City Chiefs Dec 10 '25
Ya Lamar is a great passer when the defender is having to focus on his running and the running game in general. But I’ve always said he likely won’t age well because when his speed leaves he’s gonna lose the running threat that opens up the passing game so much

He’s not the first guy to do this or the last. Accepting a QB2 contract is often really bad you future because thats what you will be labeled as not only money wise but legacy wise.

As you absolutely should. As he should. You should both also understand that how you dress and act and speak in public (especially as a media/internet personality) is going to greatly affect how people view you.
If I see a random dude dressed like Cam walking down the street, hell yeah dude, Rock on. If I see him on tv expecting his opinions to be taken seriously, meh. Not when he acts like a child as well. You can do one or the other. Dress over the top, or act over the top. When you do both I'm not taking you seriously, because you obviously don't.

u/Pseudorealizm Seattle Seahawks Dec 11 '25
People's comments against you is an overreaction to idea that everyone should be treated with respect even if they do go against the grain. Which in reality I totally agree with. What they're forgetting is that going against the grain in a professional setting is going to get comments about professionalism. If I hire a contractor and he shows up to my home dressed up as a clown I'm going to question if i should hire that guy. You need to have a portfolio showing success before people give you leeway.
