We should make a play for Cam and bench Ben.

Don't get me wrong. I'm not saying that Cam is our future by any stretch, but he could be an upgrade over our immobile, weak armed, and already injured QB for the remainder of this season. If nothing else, Cam could scramble and possibly by some time as our receivers try to get open. Maybe some gadget plays between Cam and Najee could buy a few extra yards in the ground game. Neither of which is possible with Ben under center.

Does anyone else think that Cam would be an upgrade over Ben?

 

Oh Geez.

 

To what end? Does the idealized Cam, that you describe, win anymore than Ben? Does going 9-8 vs 8-9 make any difference? As always failed players are expected to perform magic after they are sprinkled with the magic fairy dust of the Stiller Way.

 

Now if you had said Krapperdick, then you'd have gained respect from maybe one or two on this MB, but Cam?

 

Again, I'm not saying that Cam is "good" by any stretch. Just that he could be an upgrade over what we currently have.

 

I wouldn't be against seeing if we could use him situationally (short yardage/goal line). 12 Rushing TD's last year.....

 

Good point. This would be another area where Cam could be an upgrade. Cheerleader Tomlin doesn't trust our current QB enough to lean forward 1/100th of an inch even when our game is on the line.

 

That would blow up the locker room, however if Ben went down for the season Sunday, I'd actually be OK with this.

 

How many accounts does Benny have?

 

Just one. This one.

 

If Cam was smart he would say thanks but no thanks unless he likes getting hit.

 

He would be worse so hell no.

 

But he's not smart so he'd absolutely take that offer.

 

You’re off to a rough start bro

 

This is like saying we should start Benny Snell instead of Najee because were not running the ball very well.

 

These threads are ridiculous but also sad Ben will be torched all year because he should have retired. Sad Sad ending

 

SIGN CAM NEWTON!!!!


SAVE THE STEELERS SEASON!!!

 

Did your parents have any children who lived?

 

Where's Heinz with his facepalm?

 

to be fair I don't trust Ben to gain a half yard either. He has had some of the ugliest QB sneaks I have ever seen, couple times it looked like he was trying to Pooh Bear the center or guard. I'd feel better with a FB dive between Dotson and Moore

 

No.
