Could Cam Ward turn out to be a flash in the pan?

Almost every quarterback looks worse when under pressure.

When’s the last time we put pressure on another team’s quarterback?

 

This coming year, wait and see... Did you read post #28? It's informative.

 

He is probably a decent college QB, but i'm not buying all the hype. If he was worthy of all that praise, he would have gone in the draft instead of going to Miami. He is there trying to raise his stock so as to be draft-able.

His issue is that he is playing his first game in a new system, with new teammates, new coaches, playing against an unfamiliar opponent in one of the loudest stadiums in the country. That is a tall task for any QB let alone a decent QB.

 

Yes it is about who he is. Is he a winner who will step up on the big stage with real pressure?

 

They just showed a graphic on gameday that had the heisman odds. Cam ward was 4th.

 

And I think it’s mainly off of Miami’s joke of a 2024 schedule. UF coming off a 5-7 season is their second toughest game. An FSU team that returns 10 starters (including 2 on special teams) is their toughest opponent. Smh

 

Nah. Louisville and VT are probably as strong as we are...

 

FSU lost there

 

After seeing DJ today, I'm open to the idea that high-profile transfer QBs might be a smidge overrated.

 

Especially ones at their 3rd school

 

I really don’t understand the hype surrounding Ward.

 

Hopefully next Saturday evening you aren't the only one asking that.

 

I'm firmly in the cautiously...maybe overly optimistic crowd but as much as I want to agree with you, we have made many average qbs look like world beaters. That has to change and I hope/believe this is the year we do it.

 

Dial up the pressure and get those turnovers. I’ll trade big plays for turnovers any day.

 

And please have an adequate oline.

 

he had a lot of practice

 

I would love to see him with some protection

 

He has a great arm and is very accurate. As with any QB, pressure diminishes his efficiency. We have to keep pressure on him, even though he can run, it is obvious that he is not in a comfort zone when doing so.
