Would you take a chance on Cam Ward?

[Davidson Deac II]

I like that fact that Ward has had to work to move himself into consideration for the NFL and hasn't been handed the superstar Mantle from the start.  And his ability to remain calm when things aren't going well.  He barely even threw the ball in high school.  That suggest he has room to grow and learn.   And he will need it as after watching him play, he still has a lot to learn.  Makes ill advised throws at times and tends to hold the ball too long. Hard to say if he will make it in the NFL, but I feel he has the same chance as any of the others in the draft.

Haven't had time to pay attention to college ball the last couple weeks but seems like all the mock drafts have Sanders, Hunter, and Ward in the top 5 and then kinda mixed bag after that. I like that Ward is a playmaker with a little Favre style in him, seems real comfortable leading the huddle. Very different vibe from the soft stuff we've dealt with the last couple years. I believe he would no doubt beat out BY in a camp battle for what it's worth

Yeah we need a QB with this mindset. We have to change the whole culture here and that would be a great start. Whoever it is needs to be a leader and someone who pushes his teammates to be better.

In a trade down scenario or in the second round yes. But as a top 3 pick? He doesn't look like that to me. I'm not saying he won't be a good QB but if you have a top 3 pick you have to take a difference maker unless you are trading out of the spot

Reading through this thread is like watching broke high school kids scoff at Ferraris because they like Lamborghinis while they're actually driving a clapped out Honda Civic.

I see your point but over-drafting and reaching at positions of need has landed us where we are today amongst other terrible decisions
