Cam fell off a cliff as a passer from the abuse as a battering ram carrying our run game on his shoulders though. But we agree the theme has been simple mismanagement through now two different regimes. In that regard it may not matter who we pick either way. But I will hope for the best.

Good passing depends on two things outside of the QB's control ..

Receivers getting open and catching the ball. And protection. Time to throw.

The last two years, one or the other has been piss poor on Cam's team. Last season in NE it was the piss poor 'weapons' - this season it's the piss poor protection.

To use 2020, 2021 as evidence Cam's done is just idiotic.

Remember, 2019 - everyone said they don't even think Cam can stay healthy again. Well he stayed healthy all last year, and healthy this season.

Just remember we got rid of Cam the first time only because we thought he'd never stay healthy again. Cam is healthy.

I don't see Evan Neal getting passed the Jets if they don't retain Morgan Moses.

Between Pickett, Willis, Linderbaum, Ekwonu, and Cross we are bound to see an impact player in the first though.

 

I mean they just spent a pick on Becton who has struggled with injuries but looked good at times.  I doubt he falls to six but there is a path where it may happen.  I think no matter what we do we will have a choice of either Tyler L, Ikem, Neal, Cross and/or green.  I am convinced any one of those 5 dudes will dramatically make this line better next year.

Agreed the protection is atrocious. But with Cam like Sam even with time from the oline we struggle to push the ball downfield with consistent accuracy. Darnold's decision making is why he has been a bust to this point but Cam has not been the same passer on a consistent basis in years now. It hurts but that's the reality. We need to get our own next guy this year or next.

When a QB is consistently hit and hurried the times there actually is a clean pocket doesn't matter as much. You already have the QB rushing mechanics etc.

Like Cam's underthrow to Moore would've been a 56 yard TD if Cam had confidence in line.

certainly not the norm

Cards just got lucky they fell into the number one pick. Unfortunately for us we can't even do losing right and stumble ourselves into 5 wins and out of the top three. But don't kid yourself.  We're staring down the barrel of a quarterback carousel for the foreseeable future so if the thought of going QB in round 1 has you squirming you might just wanna close your eyes for a few years.

Yep I'd say it was both. Cam's role in Carolina from day one was to run for his life as our primary rusher and people act shocked that he didn't simultaneously develop into a precision passer. This is who we made him. Bro probably has visions of defensive ends getting at him everytime he closes his eyes now.

They played Becton at LT. Moses is their RT and is on a one year deal.

Now if they resign him and the Panthers think that Moton can line up at LT... 👀

      Texas A&M Nic Scourton vs. Purdue Nic Scourton

      By Jay Roosevelt · Posted

      I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.

      I did, but again we're aware of the practice in college of inflating height/weight as well as what is considered normal and his freshman weight tells a lot. There was a recent Raw Room episode where at one point they were discussing putting on their "big boy weight" when they go to the pros. It's common for guys to have to slap on 20lbs over the summer, but King Dunlap mentioned having to put on 30 and how much of a toll that took on his body. That makes the idea of putting on 50 at the college level even harder to believe. I've got experience with cutting weight and that type of drop sounds just awful... and that's even if doing it healthy and not just turning yourself into a piece of human jerky. Having to add 50? Noooooo thank yoooou. I can understand wanting to take Scourton at face value, but we didn't take Bryce at face value either (and for good reason!). Give the recently posted videos a shot. I watched the one you linked even though I've already seen it, so why not extend the same courtesy? I think you'll find yourself getting more excited about his Purdue tape than you will being irritated by what you believe are false narratives being pushed. 😄

      I think Ottawa and Edmonton force game 7.  Although I feel stronger about Toronto failing than I do about Edmonton getting it done again.
