They hated Cam, but love RG3?


Awesomeness!!

Recommended Posts

WTF???!?!! Anyone else notice this? I didn't watch a ton of college ball this year, and only maybe a Quarter of Baylor, so I don't know much about RG3 other than highlights on Youtube/ESPN, but from the looks of it he has the same skill set of...Camron Newton. How...in the hell is it possible for Cam to basically go on trail last year, but everybody is moist over basically the same guy the very next year..

they're only similar in that they're both black and athletic. RG3 runs way less and is viewed as a PURE PASSER with the added benefit of having trackstar speed. cam was viewed as more of a run-first qb because of the offense he played in and his stats.

Well he's a different type of QB than Cam. Cam has been a big play, around 60% completions type of guy, while RG3 has been a very accurate, 70%+ completions type guy.

I'm sure that will change at least for a while when RG3 gets to the NFL, but you gotta remember, for like the first 5 or 6 games he had more touchdowns than he had incompletions. That's just insane.

    • It appears that he sees things differently than the QB and OC, so Cam's advice is spot on. It isn't about number of targets, it's about quality of targets. Trust and being on the same page. BY doesn't know how to anticipate what XL is doing. And XL doesn't like where BY is placing passes. One on one film study would go a long way. More for BY than XL though. He has to adjust to XL. I really don't think XL can adjust on the fly. 
    • If the team shows improvement, then he shouldn't be in danger of losing his job - even if the record doesn't reflect. This was a very young team (with a lot of new vet starters) that overperformed last season. Somebody's doing something right. Consistency is key with so much youth. And we're potentially looking at new starters at ILB and FS. Those are positions that take time to fully understand the defense. ILB calls the front 7. Safety calls the back 4. Injuries at WR and IOL killed the offense last season. Depth needs to be upgraded. Same with Edge. I think they would have won more games if Pat Jones doesn't go down early. Be smart with the roster and draft. Trade players for assets when it's time to pay them more than they're worth - yes, that includes BY if he doesn't make a pretty big jump. That's one of the many reasons Tillis is as important as anyone to the future of this team.
    • He had heart surgery a while back he looks Fraile I hope he is okay
