He didn’t have health issues last year - he put his potential nfl career ahead of his team.  He flat out refused to play most games.  I’m an App alumni, donor, and ticket holder…most of us die hard fans spent the season pissed at him. 

Kinda ridiculous to be mad at a college kid protecting his potential pro career. It ain't basketball or soccer. Every time those kids take the field they legitimately risk an injury that could derail any chance of a pro career.

I won't get excited until I see him legitimately running with the big dogs. The highlights don't do anything for me to be honest. He's looking a little pedestrian among so-so competition. Perhaps it's a function of the offense, but they seemed to run him around the edge way too much, and it looks like to me that he just doesn't have that type of speed, or quickness in the flat. I see him as a PS guy at this point. I don't know who he'd beat out. We can just pull one of the TEs to play H-back or fullback when necessary.

That was all his “pop” plays. His bread and butter was moving the pile. But when he gets on the outside, Cam can move.

As am I! Go App! Word from the locker room was he hated the rotation from Coach Clark. You remember. 2 runs and they would pull him for Nate. Then Nate got pulled for Harrington. Then back to Cam. Cam hated the rotation and couldn’t stay fresh. I agree with him 100%. When he was loose, he was a machine. I hated the way coach Clark rotated his backs. And I know from first hand conversations, he did too.

If he really did refuse to play when available to avoid injury I fail to see how that will change in the NFL.

Things change when you're getting paid and are potentially easily replaceable. People have made this argument against kids sitting out meaningless bowl games but I've never seen any evidence of that decision negatively impacting draft stock or the mentality carrying over to the NFL.

      Look at the WRs in recent drafts around 19

      By Basbear · Posted

      2016 Corey Coleman (No. 15, Browns) Will Fuller (No. 21, Texans) Josh Doctson (No. 22, Commanders) Laquon Treadwell (No. 23, Vikings) 2017 Corey Davis (No. 5, Titans) Mike Williams (No. 7, Chargers) John Ross (No. 9, Bengals) 2018 D.J. Moore (No. 24, Panthers) Calvin Ridley (No. 26, Falcons) 2019 Marquise Brown (No. 25, Ravens) N’Keal Harry (No. 32, Patriots) 2020 Henry Ruggs (No. 12, Raiders) Jerry Jeudy (No. 15, Broncos) CeeDee Lamb (No. 17, Cowboys) Jalen Reagor (No. 21, Eagles) Justin Jefferson (No. 22, Vikings) Brandon Aiyuk (No. 25, 49ers) 2021 Ja’Marr Chase (No. 5, Bengals) Jaylen Waddle (No. 6, Dolphins) DeVonta Smith (No. 10, Eagles) Kadarius Toney (No. 20, Giants) Rashod Bateman (No. 27, Ravens) 2022 Drake London (No. 8, Falcons) Garrett Wilson (No. 10, Jets) Chris Olive (No. 11, Saints) Jameson Williams (No. 12, Lions) Jahan Dotson (No. 16, Commanders) Treylon Burks (No. 18, Titans) 2023 Jaxon Smith-Njigba (No. 20, Seahawks) Quentin Johnson (No. 21, Chargers) Zay Flowers (No. 22, Ravens) Jordan Addison (No. 23, Vikings) 2024 Marvin Harrison Jr. (No. 4, Cardinals) Malik Nabers (No. 6, Giants) Rome Odense (No. 9, Bears) Brian Thomas Jr. (No. 23, Jaguars) Xavier Worthy (No. 28, Chiefs) Ricky Pearsall (No. 31, 49ers) Xavier Legette (No. 32, Panthers) 2025 Emeka Egbuka, Ohio State | Tampa Bay Buccaneers Round 1, Pick 19 Matthew Golden, Texas | Green Bay Packers Round 1, Pick 23     JJ was the best WR for a couple years, JSN was 20th and just signed a 42.5 million per deal. Ravens love Flowers. Egbuka was a strong OROY pick   Seems like a great spot with these recent picks.......Best value has been WR....

      Is Chubba on the Trading Block?

      By Basbear · Posted

      false rumor, he's a team leader.  No clue what he is worth.....Rico came off the streets for 2.5million and put him to #2 for weeks. I doubt a team would give much more than a late rounder. Like Frank said above, 5th would be tops and very lucky.  He's got a fair contract and is well liked by players, coaches, and FO. No reason to trade.

      Biggest bust for every draft since 2000.

      By Coheed · Posted

      Set us back a few years but..a decade? lol what are you smoking man.   only 2000s move that’s come close to actually setting a team that far back wash owns trading for Deshaun, thankful we didn’t win that “sweepstakes” at least    I know hyperbolic commiseration is all the rage here but no team in the NFL is more than a few years away from competing if they go about things right (“right” being the key word here) just in the last few years see: Lions, Patriots, Broncos, Colts (pre DJ injury)
