Don't sweat the report. We have already been educated by Scott and TRD that workouts mean nothing. Neither do college statistics, won/loss records, post-season awards, or national championships.

As a matter of fact, it probably doesn't even matter if you played college ball before, as long as you have the tools!

Who the *** are you and if you think any of those things matter, may I direct you to the thread where we listed guys you've never even heard of that went undefeated, won the heisman, had post season awards, better stats than Cam and national championships.

These guys come along every year. What you see with Cam isn't his college stuff that's impressive, it's his physical ability. Colt Brennan has a better college resume than Cam and he did it for longer, why didn't he go #1?

Go play in traffic.

Just having a bit of fun; isn't that why we're all here? Things go to h*ll when we start taking ourselves too seriously.

Edit: And oh yeah, I really could care less about getting neg repped. When the Huddle starts giving out cash awards for high rep, I will work harder to earn approval.

I think this guy is being overly negative. Cam threw into strong wind for starters. I just like the fact that he improved, surely that's what we should be looking for here, we know he's an athlete with a big arm.

Meh... I don't give a crap about his workouts or his combine. I watched him play most of the year. He has all the tools and the intangibles that we know about are good IMO. He didn't get in half as much trouble as I did as a kid and I turned out pretty damn good. He has good leadership, work ethic (rumored but believable) and he is a winner. (something I hold in high regard. He never quit when everything was against him and I rooted for him in college.

That being said; my concerns are the questions that I can't really get answers to. How smart is he. How quickly does he learn? In other words I would have to be in an interview with him and see him work the white board before I could advocate him. The system he ran in college simply does not properly display these attributes, so I can't see it in film. This all applies equally to Gabbert. For the same reasons.

These are all things that everyone sang about regarding Luck and that's what sold me on him. It bothers me that it is just kinda excluded from most of Cam's reports or I get completely conflicting reports. This is why I will just live with the decision that our FO makes. I know that they were in those meetings and saw the things I did not.

      We joke about how the NFL has a script for the season. But maybe it's not a joke?

      lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

      NHL Draft 2025

      By Rocky Davis · Posted

      Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
