Cam having ankle surgery tomorrow: Breaking news

[janderson20vt]

wtf is wrong with you? This has always been the way the nfl has done it. You don't need to have franchise qbs throw them balls because they are all professionals. They know how to catch a damn football and trainers know how to throw a football.

He is clueless.

Only Idiots think trainers can put the type of velocity on the ball that Cam does...sure jugs passing machines can get good velocity, but it's not the same as having the real thing.

Either you are too stupid to understand why it is smart and common-sensiical to work out receivers with the QB who will be throwing to them, or you are juvenile and just want to argue and troll for the sake of arguing and trolling.

I asked you to show me proof and you haven't so I'll continue with the scenario where I want my QB there when I'm working out prospects so I can see if they can actually catch cams passes, because our former pass catchers sucked in that department and I want to save myself the headache of ending up with receivers who can't catch Cams passes.

Just when I thought you couldn't make a more stupid opinion. Show me proof where a wr has failed because a team's franchise qb didn't throw to them to try them out. I will be waiting, probably for a long time.

Your reading comprehension is severely lacking, an I'm not a teacher, so have fun with that. Peace

God damn are you retarded. Let me break this down for you. You are absolutely clueless to how wr talent has always been judged. NO TEAM IN THE ENTIRE NFL NEEDS TO HAVE THEIR FRANCHISE QB TRYOUT A WR. No team has done that. Do you get it yet? If they can catch a ball from a trainer they can catch a ball from Cam. You sound like some immature kid who found out about the nfl draft for the first time in their life.

If you can find where I said a team "needs" to have their QB present when working out prospective receivers, You have yourself an argument. Apparently you can't read too good because you're arguing over something I said would make sense to do, not that it's a must or a necessity. If you can't agree that it would be great to have Cam work out with guys to see if they can catch his passes than you are the most stubborn and irrational person on a planet that's full of ignorant and irrational people. Go back and actually read what I posted before you get all red in the face and start arguing over imagined precipices.

You are focusing on a few words and missing the entire point of what I was saying. It wouldn't make any type of sense to bring in Cam because it's not necessary at any level of pre-draft workouts. That is my point.  A wr can catch a ball from Cam and still drop them in live games, so then what was the purpose of bringing in Cam if they still drop passes when a defender is in their face in actual game? If it made sense for a team to have their franchise qb throw in Pre-draft wr workouts nfl teams would have been doing it a long time ago.

[iamhubby1]

You know this for a fact, huh? No. NFL franchises have private workouts pretty regularly.

Actually, last year it was Ricky Prouel (sp) who was doing the throwing at the WR workouts.

 

 

Do you think it would be a smart move to have your franchise QB there at the evaluation so he can throw the guy some balls to see if his hands can handle his passes? wtf is wrong with some of you people...

I see what you are saying though. As hard as Cam can throw, you might want to see if your prospects can actually catch passes from Cam. It makes sense, but for some reason, that is just not how it is done. I guess because that is how it has always been done, that is how it will continue to be done. But I can see what you are saying.

I also understand Cam throws hard balls but he doesn't do it all the time. And he can dial back his strength if necessary.

How do you know they don't do that?

Also, who throws the balls to the receivers at the combine? QBs not trainers.

There is nothing to argue about. I say it's smart to have the QB throw passes in evaluations and you say it isn't. That's the end if this conversation. We'll have to agree to disagree.

I want him there and think it would be a great evaluation tool and you say otherwise. Whatevs

[Guest Dark Knight]

Time to lock this thread.

[philp]

him and stew can write an album while biking together.  all about chemistry right?

[pantherclaw]

lol, yep guess this is Cams fault too.

Had nothing to do with poo they call a team that surrounds him.

Get Cam some weapons and I bet he's more likely to throw the ball away if he has to. But at the end of the day Cam's a playmaker, sacks are going to happen. If it wasn't for Cam's playmaking ability I'd guarantee you we wouldn't have been in the playoffs.

typical over reaction.

Cam does need to earn to throw the ball away

It's not difficult, and it keepsbthe team from losing yardage.

Has nothing to do with the other talent.

[iamhubby1]

Oh I agree. Cam has come a long way in regards to his touch on passes.

But you have to admit, he has a cannon of an arm. It could make sense to have him be the one throwing to your prospects. Gives you the opportunity to see if they can actually catch Cam throws, or if they have a little trouble corralling them in.

Just because it isn't done normally. Doesn't mean it isn't a bad idea. Do a 15 yard out. When Cam rifles the ball in, does the kid catch it clean? Does he have any trouble with it? Much easier to tell with Cam throwing than with Ricky throwing.

Hellz, even at my age I bet I can catch passes from Ricky easier than passes from Cam. Cam ripped open one of Smitty's fingers last TC.
