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.

    • He was saying Ron hid when he was cut/traded whatever that was.  I get being resentful, and feeling like that was gutless.  He, and Ron, neither are from the ‘breaking up with someone in a text or email is okay’ generation. That avoidance is seen as a lack of character.  Talking about it on camera how many years later? Why? And it is all one sided he said she said stuff. As he is speaking I am thinking well I bet that ain’t the whole story.    Between this type of stuff and him cheating on the wife stuff some of his shine is wearing off. 
    • I was very critical of Ron Rivera as a coach for a range of reasons. But Steve Smith has been playing the victim for years now and it's just not working anymore. We know for a fact that he was disgruntled from the moment we drafted Cam Newton because of his own ego. That says more about him than anything he could say about Rivera. And yes Ron Rivera had a lot of faults. No excuses for it. We were right to move on from him. But ultimately Steve Smith couldn't hold it together with that group the same as he struggled to hold it together under previous regimes. He needs to grow up and accept his own role in the last few years of his Panthers career because there are things he could and should have done differently the same as anyone else. Stop seeking to only shift blame to everyone else and evolve or just stop talking and fade away. This isn't helping anyone and it is certainly not helping his image.
    • A friend of mine was involved in building Steve Smith's house and nearly came to blows with him during the process.  Love Smitty as a player, but I've heard very little good about him as a human being.
