I think a lot of folks forget that Auburn was a borderline top 25 team preseason that year. They were supposed to be a decent team but no one expected them to even be in the national championship conversation.

That’s being kind. They had two other players on offense that were ever drafted .
 

Lee Ziemba(Car) 7th

B. Mosely (4th) 2011. 
 

SEC Leading rusher and the 2nd highest QBR in history to that point.

And Cam would have lasted a lot longer if refs didn't let defenses go helmet to helmet on him claiming he was a runner. Because he was such a physical mismatch for most secondaries and even linebackers he was penalized until they further tightened the rules to protect players from concussions and head injuries.

The NFL and the refs villainized Cam because he didn't play and act the way they wanted him too. Thus made him pay for it. Pieces of dog poo.

It's just being factual. They were #22 preseason in the AP poll and #23 in the coaches' poll.

I know. In Spring, I thought he might get us to 9-3. By the end of Summer, I said to someone “he’s a walking first down”. But it wasn’t until Clemson almost(and should have) beaten us that they took the training wheels off. Rest is history.

Is Bill Parcell's formula still applicable?  I think Brock Purdy is an example of what he meant.

1. Be a three year starter

2. Be a Senior

3. Graduate from college

4. Start over 30 games

5. Win 23 games

6. Complete over 60% of passes

7.  Post a 2-1 TD to Int ratio

As much as I realize the game is changing, I see why these things are important--each measures different qualities of his ideal QB.  Experience, maturity, intelligence, durability, competitiveness/leadership, accuracy, and decision-making. 

Which QB in this draft best meets these requirements?  

I believe Jake Haener would be the last man standing with those lines.

Dan Orlovsky was just on ESPN and he said he would take Anthony Richardson #1 overall.

 

Im convinced this dude is a troll. He also said Matt Stafford was the best QB in the NFC.smh

I mean, Stafford was hurt this year but is only a year removed from throwing for nearly 5000 yards and 40+ TDs on the way to winning a Super Bowl. It's definitely not a stretch to argue for him as the NFC's best QB.

Here is the problem with drafting a "Mini Cam" by comparing qualities.

Cam was not that accurate.  Richardson is not that accurate.  For them to be elite QBs in the NFL, they have to run the ball, extend plays, etc.  So you have to gain from the RPO running as much as you lose from the accuracy issues.   For example, if Cam averages 6 yards per pass attempt and he throws 30 passes and Brees averages 8 yards per pass attempt and he throws 30 passes, Cam throws for 180 yards and Brees throws for 240 yards. 

Cam, in theory, would need to gain 60 yards rushing and avoid turnovers to compete.  That means Cam would take about 10 hits per game more than Brees.  Hits on a QB are different than on a RB because the QB is not always in position to take on a hit.  He is often reading the secondary or checking for open WRs when he he runs out of time and gets popped. 

So for an Athletic QB with accuracy issues to compete, he takes a beating.  It is what happened to Cam--I predicted that we'd be lucky to get a decade out of him, and I was torched by the nut huggers on here.  It is not about Cam--it is about wear and tear.  I think Lamarr Jackson is in the same boat.   I think Allen in Buffalo needs to change the way he plays or he is heading toward a short career.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
