Was a pleasure to chronicle camp this year from Wofford. We took some time to review some of the highlights from a spirited camp, and plenty of details from their final day w/ the Ravens. 

(Pardon the audio, I was on the road for the first segment.)

Thanks for allowing me to share, and I hope you guys enjoy!

Enjoyed the listen, especially around the 41:10 mark, things got quite interesting, some strong feelings there for a certain QB

Appreciate you listening. I have tried to be open minded about Will’s development, and it’s certainly nothing personal. I covered his first camp. There was a considerable gap between Allen and Grier that summer, in terms of consistency.

He’s efficient, and accurate. I still think some of his fundamentals break down a little bit with moderate pocket pressure. Walker has continued to improve, and has great timing on vertical shots. Still has a tendency to take some gambles, and that’s something to work on. That’s a good foundation to work from with a young quarterback, IMO. Coachable guy w/ tremendous athletic traits. 

Will was so good at West Virginia, and the system was perfect for him. Teammates really like him, and again, he has nice accuracy and good timing on intermediate-level throws. I just don’t see next-level development happening. I get the sense this staff, for most part, prefers PJ to Will.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      For starters, and again I am not sure what his capacity is in the media or how connected he is to the team, but I posted above Al Wallace says he is "absolutely" getting 50+ a year and he deserves it.  I obviously strongly disagree with it but it feels like like season when the team is slow leaking info to gauge the temp.   Secondly nobody on Gods green earth is going to sign an extension making less than he is making now.  Thats just crazy talk.

      No. Physical tools alone aren't enough. There are plenty of examples of draft busts to support that. Aost all of them had the physical tools and that wasn't enough. But Bryce is a perfect example of the opposite. Absolutely elite intangibles aren't enough either. If you simply don't have the physical abilities all the football intelligence and work ethic in the world won't be enough to overcome it. Just look to the sidelines every Sunday. We call those people "coaches".

      As much as I despise Billy B, his philosophy on QBs is how I would approach things if I were a GM. You always keep looking for your next starter.  He has Bledsoe, who got injured and his backup ended up being the GOAT. Even while he had that going, he kept getting his next guy and developing them. When Brady got hurt, Cassel stepped in and went 11-5 and they missed the wild card by dumb luck. Who knows how far they would have gone if they had gotten in. Jimmy Gs career started in NE. There were others, but he always kept looking.  You can't be afraid to keep looking for your next starter, but it looks like we're afraid to look for more than a marginal one. If you're going to offer a $25m contract with incentives, that screams marginal QB. It also screams you're just a transition until we find our guy. After a 10 or 11 win season, he's not accepting that offer. And then you're in a Daniel Jones situation. Do you pay for a year of success and pray it wasn't a one year wonder?  To this point, Bryce has really produced nothing, yet for whatever reason, our FO has not even sniffed at the idea that we need a real QB room with real QBs. Dalton was never starter potential, Plummer was a joke. KP certainly isn't, neither is Grier.  Our approach to the QB room needs to be one of strength not fear. Bring in guys who can compete or who you think can compete. This is THE elite position, in an elite sport, paid premium salary, where production matters. Either you produce or you can lose your job. It's not mean, it's just the reality of the position.  And I'm really just tired of our candy ass approach to it.
