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.

    • Fees nowadays are ridiculous. After purchasing concert tickets for my son’s 18th birthday and paying the rest of our HHI trip with 3 other families, I’m shocked at how much they are. Honestly, it’s grand theft. Some is taxes but in a world where everything is electronic, fees should be cheaper. Electrons don’t cost 10-30% of the event.
    • Nope, that’s not the disconnect. In 2022, our GM knew he was going QB in the 2023 draft. You are talking about risking fans involvement on a team that’s been basically bottom 3 in the NFL from 2018 to now. There is no risk when you are that bad. We were right to want Fitterer to tank in 2022 and get rid of anyone who could bring us big value and extra cap room for future years when we aren’t winning 2-7 wins a year. We knew we wanted a rookie QB so we didn’t trade assets for picks and get a better draft slot so we ended up only getting a 2nd for Burns and threw in DJ Moore plus an early 2nd instead of a 1st, which basically lost us an early 2nd. The “risk” to our franchise’s losing culture ended up being around 4 1sts of total value. Yep, I refuse to listen to the other perspective that lost us around 4 1sts of value. At least our fan involvement is so high that our stadium isn’t chock full of visiting fans since we’ve won so much since 2022. Again, you won’t change my mind that we should have tanked in 2022 and had another 2-4 Browns/Horns on this team.
