He doesn't pass the eye test for me, also had Jatavion, Worthy and Mitchell last year in the Big 12 and only threw 22 TDs? Im not saying he's not a second or maybe even a first round pick but first overall? 

Also my point still stands about this team being talent depleted. Now if we could draft Ewers in a trade down or in the second then I'd be more willing to consider it 

How doesn’t he pass the eye test? And you’re saying because he had a good supporting cast that’s a detriment? CJ Stroud had Marvin Harrison Jr but he went balls out in the NFL. Ewers has one legit knock, he gets hurt. But he can play when he’s on the field. He’s a winner.

Yep doesn't pass the eye test. Subject to change of course over the course of the season. Joe Burrow comes to mind there. 

I was a huge CJ stroud guy the year before we drafted him because I saw him routinely make NFL level throws against all competition

As I stated in my OP I will happily eat crow if I'm wrong I have nothing against Ewers personally I just don't see him being worthy of 1.1. 

I'm not alone in this there are plenty of legitimate talent evaluators who don't have him as 1.1 either

    • Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was. 
    • I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
    • Yea Bryce was definitely a top half qb the second half of last season but I'm not sure Canales is 100% sold on him.  Like I've said in another post I think that's part of why we talked to so many South Carolina players in the draft process.  I think they are doing early due diligence on Sellers just in case.
