QB Cam Ward, TEN (2 Viewers)

I watch him every week which totals 7 whole games as the starting QB for the Univ of Miami
Miami spent approx $1M to get him in the transfer portal, he was already pretty good at Wash St
'22 and '23 he totaled 7,000 yds passing, 48 TD passes vs 16 Int and also knocked in 13 rushing TD although he had virtually no rushing yds
This season in 7 games he's totaled 2,500+ passing already and 24 TD passes, he leads the country I believe in that stat
How good is he? I think he's better than Anthony Richardson was as the No 4 overall pick but I wouldn't put him in the same category as say Jayden Daniels
What he does have is a lot of game experience and he is going to arrive in the NFL ahead of some others IMHO
He has some things he needs to work on, mainly he takes chances that he shouldn't. Many times he looks like he's playing with children, some of that is lack of stiff competition
Miami's Defense STINKS! They don't really deserve to be 6th in the country and I understand why 1-loss SEC teams are ahead of the Canes
Make no mistake, no Ward and the Canes are at best 3-4/4-3 right now, that's the impact he has on this team. And it's why Miami will need to start buying their QBs
He is a hired gun, there's no doubt about it, Cam Ward picked Miami so he could go higher in the Draft, be on TV more often than Wash St and enjoy South Beach
He has a terrific arm and can make all the throws, good accuracy and he's run a little more since coming to Miami. I would not say he is a dual threat but he buys time in the pocket
Ward is a pocket passer and he can also "make plays" when he gets flushed which is encouraging. Cam Ward is the definition of a playmaker and he elevates those around him
Miami fans have been treated to what a real QB looks like, we haven't see a real NFL prospect at the position in quite some time
He must cut down on his turnovers before he enters the NFL, his first coach needs to roll tape of some of these high risk chances he takes and let him know that time is over
He is that much better than many of the players he competes against.
At times it feels like one of the Dads has come out of the house to throw the football around with the kids on the street, he toys with them

So many words.

I think Cam Ward makes or breaks his stock in the ACC Championship game and/or the college football playoffs. The ACC does not have many tough defenses to face throughout the year. I expect Miami to roll most of their remaining games. Duke might be tough, and Syracuse is decent, but those aren't signature wins.
I think scouts need to see him play well against a top tier team to feel comfortable he is a Franchise QB talent.

Do you watch him? Exciting every week
-Best Miami QB perhaps ever but definitely since Testeverde
Cam has a stronger arm and is more athletic than all of them with less talent around him
Miami is not likely to have multiple 1st Round draft picks
Better summary?

I think the awkward punctuation makes it difficult to read? Almost like you're an AI bot.
He looks crazy calm to me. Like, too calm. But, the numbers don't lie. He's a smooth operator.

I promise I'm not, it's just more like 2-3 straight takes/opinions based on what I've seen at the Univ of Miami since about 1980
-That calmness reminds me of Jacory Harris and he turned out to be terrible but Cam is much better IMHO

And an awfully dumb interception.

Intriguing statement, what are some of things you see that make you feel that way?

He has to clean up the across his body, across the field BS.
Other than that….#1 overall in 2025.

If Penix is a top 10 pick, so is this guy.
I've watched all his games, and the accuracy and field vision is there. Never looks rushed, scans the field, works through his progressions (oh my god the processing speed is off the charts!!). There have been several instances where he has made pre-snap adjustments resulting in big plays, looks like he has been running this offense for a while.
The bonehead picks on dumb hero ball throws needs to stop, but I am less worried about that than the tendency Shedeur has to bail out backwards when the pocket gets messy. But both of them have separated themselves at the top of the draft, I think.

He looks like an NFL QB.
Granted, nobody ever really gets near him.

Kid from Syracuse looks pretty good too
Having said that Ward should be the top quarterback taken in next years draft

I hope I’m wrong about him, I’m just not seeing franchise QB here.

I think with many young QBs, who they land with to coach and support them at the next level will make the difference. Ward has enough physical tools to succeed, who supports him and what he has between the ears will determine his long term success. I agree on paper that he is not a given to succeed in comparison to other top QBs drafted in previous years. It will be interesting to see how what TEN does at the top of draft and QB being a top need.

Let's say Ward and Sanders fall to the Giants at #3, or just one, I'm thinking their best move would be to take BPA at #3, sign one of top veteran QBs, then draft a developmental QB at #34. The reason I say this is that you could have a situation where if neither the Titans and the Browns feel the top two QBs in this draft aren't worthy of those top two picks and the Giants may feel that way too. They took Nabetrs last year, and didn't get a shot at Daniels and Maye, so some may feel they might reach this year beause they didn't have a shot at those two, but they could feel that neither Ward or Sanders are anywhere near Daniels or Maye in value. That's why I say take BPA at #3, sign a veteran QB, and see if they can work with a developmental QB at #34. They could probably get someone like a Jaxon Dart or Jalen Milroe. Thoughts?

Giants drafted six so they did not have a shot at Daniels/Maye without trading up. They did pass on Penix, McCarthy, and Nix however. I agree with your thoughts on this years strategy. You dig the hole deeper by reaching. That franchise is in a rough spot to turnaround as they have so many needs. Taking a young questionable QB early without a decent oline is a recipe for continued disaster.

You are correct that the Giants didn't have a shot at Daniels or Maye last year when they took Nabers at #6. I didn't mean for that to confuse my post and cause its meaning to be lost, which the point is whether they think Ward or Sanders is worth the #3 pick, so I edited my post to remove the confusion. Thanks.
