Can Cam be coached to be a NFL QB?

I hear about being NFL ready but when you are talking about the first pick in the draft and the fact he will need a year of being an apprentace, potential has to count for something.Afterall, Jimmy Clausen was the most NFL ready qb on the board last year.I see a guy with a very strong arm,ideal size,superior speed, and from what I have read, leadership in the Huddle .I proclaim to have little knowledge on how difficult this would be hence the post.What I do know is the scouts and TV gurus have him as top five on the board so why would they not have him as number 1.My thought process is if he fails at qb he would make one hell of a tight end.LOL

OK, first of all, can you type that out with proper spacing and grammar? It's pretty hard to read.

Back to the topic at hand, the answer is dependent on his football IQ, something none of us are very sure about because he came out of a simple system. Does that mean he's dumb? No, it means we have no way of knowing because none of us can sit down with him and have Cam break down some tape or something.

That will happen at the combine this week. Teams get to interview candidates and ask questions to test the candidates football knowledge. This will go a long way to decide how teams see him.

I think Cam can certainly succeed in the NFL. I am still skeptical of taking him, but I am slowly coming around to the idea. Everything he has can make him a winning QB. I don't think he will ever put up MVP numbers, but I think he can win us games. That is ultimately all that matters.

The main thing against him, in my opinion, is his ability to make reads. At Auburn, if his first wasn't there he took off running. He needs to be able to go through his progression and make throws in the pocket. Running should be a rarity for him. He isn't fast enough to blow past NFL players like he did in college.

Again, I'm slowly warming up to the idea.

The "pro ready" QB's that played in NFL style offenses in college, have been the biggest busts to come out lately.

It is an overrated asset that means very little in the transition to the NFL.

The questions for Cam are the same that will be any QB, including Luck. How quickly can he make multiple reads, pre-snap reading, adjusting to the speed of the defense.

If he can learn that he will be fine.

Spread QB's don't bother me as much as run option QB's.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Icege · Posted

      WR: Nico, Woods, Tank (R) TE: Schultz OL: Tunsil/Howard/Deiter/Mason/Fant vs. WR: Chark, Thielen, Mingo (R) TE: Hurst OL: Icky/Zavala (R)/Bozeman/Jensen (R)/Moton   Panthers' had the better OL before losing BC week 1 and AC week 4 which is kind of ironic considering how in the following year DB went down in W1 and Shaq in W4 resulting in the defense going all to Hell. CJ has done amazing in Houston, but he also wasn't asked to carry Zavala, Jensen, Mingo, Hurst, and Chark as a rookie.

      Past 5 seasons, IMO CJ Stroud and Joe Burrow are the 2 best young QBs that have emerged in the league in that window.  They also didn’t need vets to be their primary pass catchers.  They helped fellow youngsters be great at WR.   almost all the other young QBs have been paired up with vets in their top options….and haven’t been as promising.  so it isn’t Madden.  But the league hasn’t played out as you suggest it does.   Good QBs make others around them better.

      In 2023 their roster wasn’t stacked. They nailed the poo out of the 2023 draft and since they knew Davis Mills wasn’t the guy, they tanked properly to get pick 2. They also took Cleveland’s ridiculous offer for Watson unlike us with Burns. Houston received enough draft capital to jump up to 3 while picking up the right guys in Anderson and Stroud. The Texans were not stacked or better than us in 2023. They had 11 total wins from 2020 to 2022. They didn’t have a terrible front office so they made sure they got their QB of the future while tanking well and getting more draft picks. They are a textbook study of what we should have done in 2022/2023 offseason even though people in here still think tanking is a bad word and our culture would be bad if we were the Texans. We literally had the chance to be the Texans right now and fuged it up.
