I agree but to me the fact that he is out there today with no high dollar insurance policy, to finish what he started says a lot about his character.  He is him!

It says to me that he wants to be picked before Sanders. Tape is more important for draft position than the Combine. The media will be pimping the Sanders gang full throttle leading up to the draft. Ward needs tape to offset that.

He broke the NCAA TD record which I think was all he wanted. This is just a guess. 

Sort of lame.  I mean either play or don’t play.  All those dudes out their helping him get his…

I’ll always favor old school football ways

My first thought as well but the all time NCAA passing TD leader is a huge deal.  Hard to fault the guy.

I think it’s clear in my mind after review that Cam Ward is definitely the best available QB and should go #1.  His numbers have been consistent for years now.

Cool.  Go for the record.  That requires playing in the game.  He got teammates looking to make themselves look better for next year too.   They helped him get his. 

I just don’t like the mentality.  NFL might should start paying more attention to how these QBs are mentally wired IMO.  Think that’s  going to be a bigger and bigger thing going forward in this era.  College era of team jumping for checks and guarantees.  I’m not trying to make it just about Cam.  Just my general thoughts well beyond him,

Anyone know why Cam isn’t playing? Business decision?

He played the first half and absolutely lit them up.

They wanted to get a look at Emory Williams in the second half. With the plays they've called for him it's clear we need a Portal QB. 

We'd have won this game comfortably if we wanted to. Strange one to lose.

I totally agree and we might end up seeing players in the playoff going this route one day.  Maybe not but who knows.  If it was my kid and he was a possible top 20 pick no way in hell I want him to play.  Especially a non playoff bowl.  This is the rest of his life vs a meaningless game.

I’m kind of glad Bryce played better later in this year. As much as I like Cam Ward, I wouldn’t want to pick a QB in the top 10 this year. Next year’s class should be much better. 

I think Cam and Sanders are going to have to sit and reprogram themselves.  Both have just gotten way too use of holding the ball and thinking they are good athletes behind the LOS.  That might work in the BIG12 and ACC but it’s the recipe to get murdered in the NFL.  

Both got the talent.  But talent ain’t enough.  see Caleb Williams.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By strato · Posted

      I was watching a YouTube and it was said that scout and GM insider types were saying the NIL had killed rounds 4-7. I don’t know that I buy it, seems like it might for a year or maybe two but then those guys have to move on.  NCAA is apparently about to give 5 years of eligibility. It is gonna skew those entrants older maybe.

      Panthers attempted to trade up with Ravens?

      By ForJimmy · Posted

      Miller being less raw and more pro ready makes sense of why they picked him. With us having a capable starter in Walker the lower floor higher ceiling player makes sense for us as well. I agree with that.

      I'm from Michigan and have had this discussion with my Lions friends, and they all agree with me, they were never going to take Freeling over Miller.  As, yes, you are correct, they could have left Sewell at RT and taken Freeling, but they are in a SB contention window right now. An OL with Freeling at LT and Sewell at RT is not as strong as Sewell at LT and Miller at RT would be for this upcoming season and likely at least next year as well. 5 years it could be looked back upon as a long term "mistake" to take Miller over Freeling, but for a franchise like the Lions, you can't worry about the long term when you have current SB aspirations.  It's all about maximizing their current SB window over the next 1-3 years. And it's not about style, it's about day 1 readiness, and a lot of "experts" aren't even sure if Freeling is ready to play Week 1 yet at the position he's used to, let alone switching to a side he hasn't played before, but a career starting RT is going to be more than ready to fill that role for them Week 1. I'm 100% convinced that if our draft positioning was swapped, we'd have still taken Freeling, they'd have still taken Miller, and both teams would have got the OT that they preferred due to what each team needs right now and what their current realistic aspirations are for the 2026 season. We're in a position where we can let our drafted OT sit and learn for a bit, they needed a week 1 starter, for me that's where this discussion becomes very easy to understand why each team took the player they did.
