Waste of Internet space.

It wasn't just "questioned", whether Cam could throw from the pocket. The Analysts said HE DEFINITELY COULD NOT.

There's a difference, and that's no reflected in that article. They didn't just "wonder" whether or not he could. They ADAMANTLY said he could not.

Well, first it started as questioning. Then as it got closer to draft day and they realized he had a chance to go off the board as the first pick, it became a real concern.

I have to admit, I've watched a lot of sports in my time and the media's vitriolic attack on Cam during the draft was like nothing I've ever seen. It was clear they knew who they wanted to go off the draftboard first and Cam was not the one and they were not going to let up.

I was all in for Cam before the draft. But get this. I made my own opinion by watching his games myself. I downloaded as many as I could. I also done the same for Gabbert. After about 2-3 games it was quite easy to see who should be the #1 pick. I honestly didn't see it on film what the media was seeing in Gabbert.

same here. what i saw in gabbert was what i was seeing in clausen as a rookie. gabbert hasn't done anything so far to show that i was wrong in that assessment. he's limited in what he can do and he can't handle the pressure that he gets.

with cam, though...i saw a guy who had a big arm that could kill you through the air and on the ground. someone who was a threat to make a big play every single time he touched the ball.

i also saw someone that could hype up his team and the fans and could will and rally his team back form any deficit. it's not been until recently that i saw that part of him as a pro, though. i'm glad he's got it back.

Gabbert has the size and arm for the qb position.

Difference was Gabbert tap danced in the pocket, threw more check downs and wr screens then Newton did and also had a spread offense that he was average against Big 12 secondaries. He was a bigger project as a QB but got a weird fre pass...or "he will be the one from this draft" accolades.

Newton excelled against the SEC and played at a historic level for his first season as a starter in division 1.

Funny to see an article praising this draft class as an all timer with impact performances from Von Miller, Newton, Dalton, AJ Green, Dareus, P Peterson.

      I know that. I'm not predicting it. Just putting the information out there so I will have receipts for later on when this dude turns into a stud at this level too.  It's kinda bittersweet, he'd help our offense out a great deal, but I'm wanting a QB next draft, so adding another weapon for Bryce is counterproductive in that regard.

      General Draft Rumors/Speculation Thread

      I'm not sure if NO will be as QB aggressive as some assume.  They may focus on landing a top line prospect and slow rolling the rebuild for next year.  Could see them roll the dice in R3-4 to compete with Rattler, maybe a Howard fit.     I think the QB starved team's just take the gamble the Saints don't want Sanders, and target a mid to late 1st pick for a trade up to land him.  Still don't think Milroe or Shough are going R1.   But I think what may get lost in the trade up talk is about it being QB specific. A top team trying to get over the top could be the juicy trade (or two) that happens in round 1. Something I've flirted with is how aggressive Buffalo could be.  They have the ammunition for a big trade up, and I think Golden would pair super well with Coleman.  They need to cut to the chase and get playmakers there for Allen.  So yeah, love the idea of a BUF/ATL trade where they move up for him.  I'm even thinking about LAR getting aggressive for Warren or Loveland.  Imagine McVay rolling into 2026 with that added piece for a future QB...

      Chris Simms: Jalon Walker is the most overrated player in the draft

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Unfortunately, Ice, there are some blueprints of hybrid LB/edge players who were busts too--Everette Brown is one, but he was forced into a 4-3 DE role here.  I would say that the 3-4 defense has a lot of wiggle room for hybrids at the OLB/Edge position--I am just not seeing Walker as an elite player at any one role.  Coverage?  Rushing the passer from the 9?  And at his size... If we take him, I hope that I am wrong because there are some personalities I really would love to be on this roster.  Jihaad Campell is one.  Bech is another.
