I'd put him on par with Romo, Ryan and Flacco. -- nm

yes, as I have said, other than the top tier guys, who would you take over him? - groiny Jan 2, 09:16 31
- I'd easily take Cam over Jay, but this isn't fantasy football. There's really no viable option for the Bears. - Shaun Jan 2, 09:22 18
  - right, that is my point. They have to sign a free agent, who will likely cost them close to that money anyway. - groiny Jan 2, 09:24 12
    - My point is that I'm not sure I would have gone all in on him. 7 years with $50mil guaranteed is a helluva commitment to a dude who hasn't proven he - Jim Jan 2, 09:25 8
      - it was either this, or franchise tag him for one year, and revisit it again next season. - groiny Jan 2, 09:28 7
        
        I don't know the Bears situation...like do they have someone else they need to Franchise or anything... - Jim Jan 2, 09:30 6
        
        They have over 40 million in cap space now, but have a lot of free agents, too. -- nm - Inigo Jan 2, 09:52
        
        I think the deal probably gives them some relief cap-wise next year from what franchising would have. They have a ton of players they need to sign. - pmb Jan 2, 09:39 2
        
        I am very interested on what they do with Tillman. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 2, 09:53 1
        
        If they can afford him I'd sign him for 2 more years. I think he's still one of the top 5 CB's in the league, but he's got to stay healthy. -- nm - pmb Jan 2, 09:58
        
        they have some $ coming off the books this off season. - groiny Jan 2, 09:36
        
        Their punter. -- nm - Spawn Jan 2, 09:32
    - It's like when Eli signed his stupidly large contract a few years ago. What else were the Giants going to do? -- nm - Shaun Jan 2, 09:25 2
      - I have been FB fighting with all kinds of Bears fans today, bitching about the deal. - groiny Jan 2, 09:26 1
        
        You know who wins when you FB fight? - Spawn Jan 2, 09:30
  - Cam's accuracy troubles me...and I say that as Cam's biggest fan here. -- nm - David Jan 2, 09:23 4
    - I don't know...I'd like better than 62% completion...but he has intangibles that make me not worry as much about the accuracy. -- nm - Jim Jan 2, 09:33 2
      - Against the Falcons and Saints, he missed waaaaay too many open receivers. -- nm - David Jan 2, 09:34 1
        
        But that's something that can be worked on and improved. You can't improve a dude's head or heart. - Jim Jan 2, 09:36
    - If I need someone to throw me a touchdown in the last minute, Cam is pretty far down my list. nm -- nm - groiny Jan 2, 09:25
- Hell, I'd take Big Ben, Luck, Newton, Stafford, Eli and probably RGIII -- nm - Jim Jan 2, 09:21 7
  - yeah, Ben for sure, and Luck. I am iffy on the others. - groiny Jan 2, 09:23
  - I forgot Ben and Stafford....I'd put Ben in the no doubt category and Stafford in the same tier with him and Flacco/Dalton. -- nm - Will Hunting Jan 2, 09:22 5
    - Stafford's mechanics are such a mess that I wouldn't put him in the top 20. - David Jan 2, 09:24 4
      - It's easy to say that, but even taking out the Megatron yardage, he's still a 3500yd passer - Will Hunting Jan 2, 09:26 3
        
        That's the problem with empty passing yardage. It looks good on paper. - David Jan 2, 09:32
        
        how much of those 3500 yards are mop up yards when they are chasing the score in the final quarter? -- nm - groiny Jan 2, 09:27 1
        
        A solid amount, but even then, you have to make throws. - Will Hunting Jan 2, 09:31
- Honestly, I'd put him in the 12-15 range - Will Hunting Jan 2, 09:20 3
  - taking age out of the equation, based on this season and prior, no way RG3 belongs higher than Cutler. - groiny Jan 2, 09:22 2
    - I'm not grading on just this year alone...I'm grading on quarterbacking talent - Will Hunting Jan 2, 09:25 1
      - conversations like this is when I wish the sports sites were not blocked for me. - groiny Jan 2, 09:29
That list is all over. -- nm - Spawn Jan 2, 09:15
