DAILY DEBATE: Does Cam McCormick have a role on this offense?

It's the nature of the game brother. #1 health, #2 production,#3 development.

Last year our starting tight end was arroyo. Well he was hurt the entire season and minus attempting twice to get on the field, he was simply a non factor. We went into the season thinking Riley Williams would IMMEDIATELY play a huge role. Facts are last season he had tons of growing pains, lack of confidence and he was lost for whatever reason anytime he touched the field. Cam McCormick you at least knew exactly what you had and it was essentially an extra blocker for either a QB who on his best day simply didn't look to his tightends and on his worst day had an inability to get the ball down field consistently.

Thanks for the reply however they’re had to have been a better TE option other than McCormick in a portal if development and health was an issue at the TE position

Van Dyke hit 8.1 yards per attempt last year, Cam Ward was 7.7. Adjusted 7.6 and 8.1, respectively. Van Dyke gets the ball downfield, just to the other team a few too many times.

The TE room also had Skinner who is now at L'ville and good enough for Brohm's offense. I have a feeling Brohm figures out how to use the dude better than Dawson did.

Agreed and good point. But I think it is absurd to argue as some have that Cam is being played over better players.

Last season, Arroyo was hurt, Skinner underwhelmed/didn’t deveop, Williams was a TF but played a great deal, and Carver wasn't ready (as expected).

This season (assuming health), I expect Arroyo, Williams, and Lofton to get more snaps.

People underestimate how much of a negative it was for our offense, last year, without a tight end. A healthy and experienced TE room will pay dividends, especially with the WR group we have.

On paper, this offense is pick your poison for opposing D’s. Elite QB, very very good WRs, Elite RB, and talented TEs that have shown flashes.

And this is why he should’ve never been at Miami in the 1st place

You wanna get someone out the portal now? Rather than realizing how young we are at the position and only way to develop is live action? Seems like a constant double negative. If we constantly run everyone off than we're gonna be needing to flip the roster yearly. Let's all just take a seat and let the professionals handle it.

I don't think so. Just needed more so for the locker room.

Don't wanna harp on last season but this is a simple point in why context is necessary with stats. Yes cam averaged 7.6 while Tyler averaged 8.1. However cam had 100 more completions and 200 more attempts. To go along with a higher qbr & completion percentage. More touchdowns,less interceptions. Easiest way to break it down is Tyler was boom or bust. If you look further into it Tyler's success all came in his first 7 games essentially. Really 6 of those 7. Rest of the season he was a burden to the offense and the team as a whole. Night and day what we expect out of this season based strictly on results. Not blind faith.

If TVD played how he did over the first half of the season over the entire season, there'd be very few complaints about the offense at all. I was *****ing about Cam as well, but it is very obvious the situation last year was Riley was a true frosh and TE is a hard position to get immediate impact, and Arroyo was hurt. Skinner maybe turns it around at louisville - not like he doesn't have talent.... but he can't play inline and he was dropping passes too. Not like he was doing anything with his opportunities and still not seeing PT...

Think people are worrying too much about how much Cam will play. If He plays a lot as anything more than a blocking TE3, its cause we suffered massive injuries again.

He is a one trick pony(blocking) who was really bad at it as the season wore on…

Defenses definitely don’t respect him in the passing game for good reason… as Dee said I hope we only see him due to injury concerns only. Arroyo, Riley, and Carver deserve to get all the looks.
