First, we don’t have a top of the 4th pick. We have the last pick of the 4th (Rams pick) before the comps. Second, why waste a pick on Zappe? Grier had more promise and he was a waste of a pick. We need a QB that can be a franchise pick, take a flyer on a guard at that pick. There were available guards, cough Trey Smith cough, last year and there will likely be this year as well.

Whoever delivers your eulogy has an incredibly easy job.

Watch him play. The measurables just don't translate. He looks like a JAG out there.

I liked him last year as a second round project, but he didn't make the jump you'd expect him to as a Senior. He struggles throwing to his left. 

Another kid that should have jumped to the NFL while the hype wasn't being analysed too closely.

If we trade back, sure, take a gamble with Corral, Howell, maybe Ridder.  But there's no reason to frame this discussion around Cam's shadow remaining. 

But I'm not a fan of trading much further back than early teens.  We can get a top lineman or skill position guy that high.  So if we gain a 2nd or 3rd, then yeah, take a gander with Corral, Strong, Glass, etc.

This, 100%. Zappe might be the real deal, but if he's not, then he's going to be an inexpensive but decent back up for the QB we draft next year.

Zappe holds the record for NCAA yardage and TDs in a season, and that's playing out of WKU. While it's not the SEC, he was against better competition than Jerry Falwell U. (Liberty). 

Zappe is the new Colt Brennan.

Meanwhile you are still slobbering this front office for the Sam Darnold trade. At least he has some standards.

There is literally no difference between Zappe and Willis except he’s taller, and has better numbers. GTFO that we got a real franchise guy at 6. Get the franchise OT and keep rocking with Darnold.

We just tried to trade the farm for Watson. One of these QB's is getting drafted at some point by the Panthers. Ya'll might as well get comfortable.

He wants an opportunity to start. Idk why people think he owes us one more season just to pass the symbolic torch. We aren't winning anything meaningful. Let Cam do his own thing and that isn't taking another beating in Carolina just for the fun of it.

Yea, I would imagine the last thing he wants is a repeat of last year in any capacity. The idea of using him as a bridge is pretty disrespectful. If we draft a LT at 6, I could see him signing here.

No one is suggesting that Cam owes us anything.  Bottom line is Cam just isn’t good anymore and won’t have many options.  
 

He is still a FA right now for the same reason he was a FA half way through last season.  And he did more harm than good with his on the field showings last year.  He will be lucky to latch on anywhere, let alone a team of his choosing.

This is why I always dislike the assumption that "great athlete" equals "great quarterback".

Frequently it doesn't. Truth be told, that's probably more often than not.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.

      I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce

      Yea Bryce was definitely a top half qb the second half of last season but I'm not sure Canales is 100% sold on him.  Like I've said in another post I think that's part of why we talked to so many South Carolina players in the draft process.  I think they are doing early due diligence on Sellers just in case.
