I will never officially retire from the NFL

I'm potentially returning to the NFL next year and waiting for someone to motivate me

That's not too far off. I'm just waiting on somebody to tick me off. ... if I'm moved by it, I'm going to get moved by it. Right spot, right place, right time.

The Bears should put Justin Fields in a high-gear, uptempo offense

I would have that fucker in high gear. High gear... I think a beneficiary who would benefit off of a uptempo offense is Justin Fields. Because a tired lineman... does not want to run around trying to chase a quarterback. When they do uptempo and they let him like be himself, he looks great.

The Bears traded Fields after the season. While some analysts agree with Cam, the Bears' offensive staff never fully committed to this 'high-gear' style with Fields, making its effectiveness in Chicago a 'what-if'.

Peyton Manning did the NFL a disservice by creating an unrealistic standard for athletic quarterbacks

Peyton Manning did this league a disservice... by having like, you know, 350 yards passing... All right, here comes Michael Vick. Here comes a Cam Newton... athletic quarterbacks that we're going to get the yards elsewhere... it's not the prototypical way. We're used to seeing yards being made.

This is a subjective football philosophy take. Cam is arguing about the perception of the QB position, which can't be objectively proven right or wrong but is a significant cultural critique of NFL scouting and media.
