Oh I forgot that you had inside track info into a scouts thought process. Please excuse me oh great one. :rolleyes: Your hopeless and Im moving on. Tell me when Jarrett beats out LaFell... That was your last great reading there swami.

I never claimed to have inside info. I'm going by what I have heard countless number of experts say for countless number of years in the media. The lengths you people go to put down anyone who doubts Cam are hilarious....

Where did I say his volume of work was worthless? I do find it odd that he has a QB ahead of Cam that has never even come close to proving he's a good passer though. I mean damn, how can you rate a QB that high if he can't throw a lick?

I'm not saying you said that.. I'm making a point..

it is odd.. yes.

the senior bowl practices alone, I thought Locker was taking too much TV time just to throw a pass, when I could see someone worth watching..

This has been an entertaining thread so far. Here's what I've learned;

1. Blacks are still sensitive towards racial stuff and whites are tired of dealing with it. (I have no idea of who's white or black on this board but I'm assuming here).

2. I don't understand why race is such a big issue here. I can only assume that the sensitivity from blacks here is that they assume that white folks only want whites at the QB position.

I'd like to address this second point for a moment. This is absolutely not true.

I think that the issue here is that no black running QB has won the SB (recently - forget about Redskins or whatever). Whoever wins gets the most adoration. NFL is like 80% black anyways and it's my favorite sport to watch. I wear Beason's jersey. So how can I be racist or anyone else? Silly stuff and we should drop it.

Bottom line is I'm actually pulling for us to pick Cam. It's a HUGE gamble. He could be the next J. Russell or he could be the better version of Freeman from TB. It could go either way. But the upside is so damn big.

Sure DTs can be bought from FA and drafted later but a franchise QB? Only way to win - especially in our conference when everyone else has theirs.

Or how Andrew Luck was guaranteed to be in Carolina in 2011. :rolleyes: CARDIAC got a lot of people's hopes up on this board only to end up with their pants on the ground when Luck passed on us. Most Cam haters on this board are former Luck jock sniffers on some "if Luck wont come then Newton cant either" pettiness.

Rivera said that workouts didn't matter nearly as much as game film, and poor exhibition game performance didn't mean a ton but good performance did show an ability to learn quickly.

How can I be a Cam hater if I've said numerous times I wouldn't mind him being here if our F.O. feels he's the best guy. Also, I never claimed to have inside info on Luck's decision. There you go making poo up as you go along again.....

Everyone knew Eli was going to be number one. That's why it was such a big deal that SD had the first pick....

Not true. While it is true he was the number one QB on the board the whole time people still weren't sure if he was number 1 overall material (sound familiar) until after he blew everyone away with his workout and his interviews. After that San Diego made their intentions pretty clear and that was when all that other stuff happened.

But Rivera is not the only one in the draft process. The whole will be looked at not just one specific part. People get too caught up on game film or the combine the ignore the other parts. All of it matters and prob the most important part is the interview.

there were some crazy people that thought Eli was better than his brother, I thought. Never knew there was any real doubt that Eli would go #1 overall, even though he made it clear he didn't want to go to SD.

Yes I seem to remember countless SC debates about how Eli was going to be better then Peyton as well.....

I agree that interview is HUGE.

My point throughout this thread, and it is one that I maintain, is that workouts don't mean a ton... and that is especially true to this team.

Does NOT mean we won't take Newton (I can't predict the future), just that I don't think this workout will sway the team heavily in any direction.

All I have stated and you can read back on this is that its all factored in. Im not trying to put one higher then another.

      Yep he made the comment " I dont know what they were doing out there at that point" in the press conference. Let's be real they all got paid but they also know his system suppresses there offensive potential.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      Why are you so fixated on yards? Even if yards were a good judge of QB play, his low yardage totals in some of those games were partly a function of drops (looking at you Xavier Leggette…).  I’m not advocating that Bryce was elite for the last half of last year, but the eye test certainly supported high level QB play for large stretches. He made a lot of high difficulty, put it on the money/drop in the bucket throws. He converted on 3rd and 4th down, kept drives moving, and put the team in position to win games. And it’s not on him that the defense blew it late after he led game tying drives, Leggette dropped a game winning TD, or Chuba fumbled the ball in OT. We could have finished the season close to .500 with wins against 3 playoff teams including KC and Philly during that stretch largely due to Bryce’s play.    Has he sustained this level of play long enough to deserve an higher ranking? No. But for judging based in that stretch alone, he would. But whether he can perform more consistently at that level or build on that, and thus earns a higher ranking, remains to be seen.
