I don't follow college much and don't pay attention to the prospects until close to the draft.    Early on I fell in line with the talk of it being a terrible draft class for QBs. Terrible y

The Giants offered a haul and the Titans quit even listening. The NFL decision makers know.   I also think it's pretty funny it actually took a few miracles for the Titans to fall into the #

Mahomes played at Texas Tech. Allen played at Wyoming. Level of competition isn't as important as traits that translate to the pro game.

I was waiting on this post. Oilerman shared his thoughts about this to me a month ago. We were honestly both trying our best not to go overboard with our excitement about Cam after watching his tape. 

any particular tape specifically ?

He doesn't need me to but I'll back him this time.  He was pretty early on Ward. Not Miami fan early- but pretty early. Like many- once they started looking at him and not listening to pundits saying this was a bad qb draft --  the usual cynical group (Oman, oldshool, etc) all got surprisingly behind Cam.  This has been the most aligned the board has been around a QB prospect I've ever seen tbh. 

 

In fact- I think this is the first time I can remember that Starkiller, oldschool, Oman, Reo and Nines all agree on something besides politics.  

 

 

A lot of us were early on Ward. People who watch college football and know what they are talking about were. I knew that Jake Locker was a 100% bust because I saw him play live twice.

Cam is coming to a team that lost 14 games, but of the games they lost, 10 of them were lost by 10 or fewer points. 5 of them by a touchdown or less. Only 4 losses were blowouts.

 

Not to diminish how bad the team was, but it just goes to show how thin the line is between winning and losing. And this was with the quality of QB play we had, a WR room with one guy and a bunch of "who's that guy?", and a swiss cheese OL.

 

All this to say... yeah, it's a team sport, but unless you're predicting a Super Bowl you can't hardly overestimate the complete turn-around potential Cam is bringing to the table. The Titans could really shock tf out of some people this year. I'm pretty sure Cam is worth at least a couple touchdowns more per game as a baseline.

The other “miracle” was the Giants beating the Colts.  I perused a Giants board.  And it seemed like once every few days some poster would get totally pissed that they won that Colts game .

 

It was quite funny.

They call it the "culture building win."  Not sure if you saw that when they were talking about the win but it was pretty funny.

Of every single thing that Ward has said, the thing that I liked the most, and I don't remember who he said it to, it may have been in the press conference Friday, was when he told someone that he thinks he's a better processor than is given credit for.  Why do I like that?  Because it show he understands what it is and the importance of it.  I don't think every QB even understands how important that aspect is.  Ward clearly does enough to mention it in a press conference.

I went back and forth with several posters over Cam, but the main detractors name escapes me at this moment. I have not seen him post in a while, someone help me out please.

 

Edit: Not trying to take any sort of victory lap, just curious about his thoughts at this moment.

I don't see how his dad can watch that and not say to himself "damn... that's his mama talking 110%"

Bc his dad was that way.   He just had the crazy talent to be that way

I've been saying I hate doing talent evaluations and trying to project players.... so I've been holding back for months. I am right with you guys.
