Fair point, its obvious when you think about it. I guess it just really struck me when its on display so blatantly. Cam is pretty much the prototypical super-qb physically, but still underperformed compared to skill and experience. I doubt we will get to see a cam with years of experience under his belt. His body won't take it. It explains why qbs with skill sets like brees, Manning, and Brady are so highly sought after and effective. They can stay in the game long enough to truly master their craft. The physical hard-nosed qb may never dominate the landscape.

Well, we'll see. I think Cam being so big is why it's a big deal. He probably will be able to hold up. He's the first this big to be so physical and athletic. He'll keep maturing.

HOW YOU NOT GON GO FOR THAT FUMBLE THOUGH?!

People are ignorant about just how great Brady is, especially watching the offensive line and lack of run game. He's the best in the game and it's fair to say he's got at least 1 or maybe 2 more SB's in him.

I dont think Cam will have a problem staying in the league long enough to get the mental part down better. Big Ben is basically a less athletic Cam. He doesnt run nearly as much but he is huge and it takes a lot to bring him down so he does take a beating more than a guy like Brees, who goes down when he gets breathed on.

Barring injuries, Cam is here to stay for awhile. He might not dominate for years to come but his type of QB definitely has a place in the league. I mean he dominated this year. He just ran into one of the best defenses he will ever see tonight.

Cam also hadn't seen D-line close to Denver's all year. He had no frame of reference for what he was going to experience.

No way early 2000s brady survives against that defense either
