Cam Ward named AP National Player of the Week

He was Superman in the second half. Deserved.

With a 13 game schedule, he is projected for a 4,800, 43 TD, 11 INTs with 350 yards rushing and 6 more TDs. He is re-writing our record book and his own. He’s already reached a career high in rushing yards and he is 5 TD passes away from his season best. We are looking at 5,000+ total yards and almost 50 TDs. It’s comparable to Daniels total output last season only he’s doing it with his arm more than his legs

Long live the Air Raid!

Still has naysayers on this board… “he isn’t accurate on deep passes…etc”

According to PFF, Ward has thrown 18 'big-time-throws' this season, which is the second most in the country, trailing Kyle McCord of Syracuse, who has 19 BTTs on the year. Ward has completed 21-of-37 deep shot attempts (balls that travel at least 20 yards past the line of scrimmage), which is the most in the country. He has been credited with 17 BTTs on those attempts.

Ward has not thrown an interception on a deep shot attempt yet. He is one of seven quarterbacks in the country who have attempted at least 30 deep shots and has not thrown an interception…. Not sure what they consider a “deep shot” but a 40 yard interception return would meet that category to me. But who am I to argue with PFF??

Been saying it for years. Until we have a QB that breaks our PATHETIC school TD record, we won't win anything meaningful. I did a little digging and found our TD record ranks somewhere in the 116 range compared to other schools. It's anemic.

Ward is changing that, and, we are winning because of it. Shocking, I know.

Remember Guysm, they hate us.

Thought that 50+ yard pass to to Horton in the endzone was right in his bread basket, DB just made a play

If anyone holds him under 300 I will be very surprised. I can't see a defense stopping him now. Especially if he learns from the Cal game and starts hitting the check down quicker.

he’s on pace for a top 3 ACC passing year all time. He’s in the Watson and Winston stratosphere right now. If you look at Crab Leg’s 2013 season it looks almost identical to these numbers, including yards per attempt

**** and CIS wanted Emory in the game.

BUT BUT people some on cis say he is not elite and not accurate on deep throws

Setting the stage for his Heisman run...and they want to give it to him...it's his to lose.
