We were very fortunate to land him.
He’s fortunate, too. He was a Day 3 pick before he got here.
No doubt- he got paid like a premium QB for a reason. But the point is that other talented QBs who want to raise their stock can look to his example.Of course he was; he was on a product that received minimum exposure, & was a losing team. Regardless of the stats he put up for WASU, he would’ve needed a strong combine to secure attention. However, there’s a reason he was the #1 QB in the nation in the portal b/c he’s been the truth & proof.
And if they bring in Lagway, does Nickel not come?I think everyone needs to come to terms with the fact that if you bring someone in like Lagway, he does not have four years of experience like Cam and no matter who we bring they won't have the overall presents of Cam because he's generational. Be prepared for a big learning curve and the loss of a few games because of it.

Jalen Hurts is someone who would have loved to come here but couldn’t justify it as a football decision. Ward provides proof of concept that players like that can come here and raise their stock.
..or go with Williams, because not one of the possible transfers you named is a sure improvement over Williams.Who are the big time qbs out there? There really aren’t any. It’s going to be a guy that has ability but most fans won’t be happy about and then he comes here and balls. Most qbs have been like that in the portal. Hooker, penix, nix, daniels, burrow and etc wasn’t consider to be elite qbs when they hit the portal. There isn’t another cam out there. Going to have to take a weigman, stone, salter, arnold and get there best out of them
My view has been that we should acquire upside through the Portal. Just need to see who jumps in.Isn’t our QB room already set w/ Poffenbarger, Williams, Judd. & incoming Nickel?
Nothing about Drones has stood out thus far. He's inaccurate but can run. Not impressiveDrones isnt a backup, I think he would excel here, Vtech is very Vanillia, have to think Cam is working him to come
The proof concept is Cam Ward, period. He’s been nice, & we’re very fortunate before the clock struck midnight he decided to come here.

Lagway is the most impressive physical talent I’ve seen and he is supposed to have good intangibles. Florida is about to go on a losing streak, so we’ll see. Jackson Arnold is another guy who I could see developing like Bo Nix in the right system. Oklahoma is a disaster right now.
Option 1A would be someone like Ward who is already a top-tier quarterback and wants to go to a new level. For me, the next option is the Jayden Daniels/Bo Nix/Spencer Rattler approach.

Can you stop, brother? My bad, keep it realIsn’t our QB room already set w/ Poffenbarger, Williams, Judd. & incoming Nickel?
If Dawson moves on, does the proof of concept change a bit?My view has been that we should acquire upside through the Portal. Just need to see who jumps in.
