Guess which QB calls himself Cam Jackson?

Pretty obvious, right?  

Credit Anthony Rizzuti of bringing Cam Jackson to our attention (a.k.a. Anthony Richardson)

“I started calling myself Cam Jackson in 11th grade,” he said. “Just trying to make big plays, just like Cam Newton and Lamar Jackson.”

CJ met with the Panthers a couple of days ago.

"General manager Scott Fitterer also had a positive review about the meeting, stating on Wednesday that Richardson was 'really good' and is 'much further ahead mentally' in terms of processing than some may believe."

Of course the processing part is positive spin, but I'm really concerned about his accuracy and actual mental progressions when the pressure is on in the pocket. Cam Jackson will have to step up his game to be in the same conversation as Newton and Lamar.

representation is amazing. im so glad that most of the stigma of the black qb has be wiped away. hearing someone talk about how one is "smart" instead of "athletic" blows my mind.

CJ Stroud just said he looked up to Vick and Watson. 
 

It’s a beautiful thing.

That's a pretty odd choice of role models considering what they are largely known for. I am sure he didn't mean anything other than their play on the field but I probably wouldn't have said that in the modern era.

Agreed. Hopefully most level headed folks won’t judge a 20 year old on comments such as this. 
 

Rational minded people will wait till he’s in his 40s and running for public office and then hold it against him.

With Vick, im sure it’s largely due to his play but Vick is a redemption story that quite a few look up to. Got his 2nd chance and ran with it. Been a model citizen, so I don’t see any wrong in having Vick as a role model.

Watson is probably for his play. He was an elite QB, and has a chance to get back there.

I like Anthony Richardson. But I'm super realistic about him. Tape dont lie. Crazy athletic... but didnt throw the ball enough for us to know anything about him. I wouldn't trade up for him. If he falls to 9 and I have a veteran QB AND Matt Corral, I take him. If I'm gonna be critical of Will Levis' tape, I gotta be honest about AR15. 

The comparisons to Cam Newton have to stop. Cam threw the ball much more in college was ready to assume starting QB responsibilities week one.

    • 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.
