Good God you're an idiot. You're comparing a QB who has been good for 2-3 seasons to one who is a first ballot HOF


But considering how surprising close the passing stats are, and that Cam has been slightly more productive overall, do you not think it's possible that Cam might also be heading towards the Hall?

In such a short time Cam has already established himself as one of the 2 most prolific running quarterbacks in NFL history. He's already tied the record for most rushing touchdowns in a career for a QB, and at his current pace will break Mike Vicks record for most rushing yards in a career by a QB in another 5 seasons.


He may have only had "2-3 good years" but with what he's already accomplished all he'll need is another 2-3 good years to have a legitimate argument for the Hall

not a very high bar to overcome far as running qb are concerned ... weren't that many to begin with and his production there will undoubtedly diminish, or at least it should ...

far as the hof is concerned, 2-3 good years with another 2-3 good years gives you 4-6 good years, which is what several good, but not great, qbs have (and a few have a ring) ... no one thinks cam isn't a very good player with a chance to have a very successful career ... you're searching for rebuttals to an argument that isn't being made ...
