We need to start a dialogue about which player to focus our attention on once Cam is announced.

The FSU noise at this point (or any point) is ridiculous. Them mofos can’t afford to keep their current players let alone pay the hottest QB in the market. They flat out told Ward weeks ago they can’t reach his demands.

Not sure how many more times people need to be told the fsu visit was not done well

The exceptions to the rule do not make the majority of the rule not the reality. Name teams who started the season with a QB that was not a 1st round draft pick, there are a handful at best. If those are the odds you would employ as an agent to coax Cam Ward to go pro now instead of taking guaranteed NIL money then you would be doing him a tremendous disservice.

AFC, Lamar was like the 1st pick in the 2nd round or late 1st. Russell Wilson, Garoppolo for the Raiders, Levis already mentioned
NFC, Dak Prescott, Cousins, Purdy, Howell

These are mostly QB's getting a shot that will flame out. Wilson, Cousins and Prescott, and now Purdy, and that is the basis for thinking if given 7-figure NIL money you should instead hurry to the NFL instead. You think if Purdy had a 7-figure NIL deal he should have jumped to be Mr. Irrelevant instead? Makes no sense, he left because he ran out of eligibility not because he was "betting on himself". The uniqueness of Kirk Cousins and Russell Wilson (both in their 12th seasons) lends you to think Cam Ward would be better served going to the NFL now after a 5-7 season that showed he could run for his life and amassed 2 conference victories in that season is somehow going to have teams killing themselves to get at him to be a backup QB?

I like a good argument, just waiting to hear one, other than a guy 12 years ago did it... OK, 2 guys 12 years ago did it... How many guys don't do it? How many guys could get 7 figures and 1 more year to try and get into the 1st round with an offensive line to block for them? Brock Purdy making $870K this year in base salary. You don't get to pick what team you play for or what kind of situation you find yourself in when you get drafted so you may end up on a team where you never get to play and as a later round pick you might just be let go and can't find another lillypad to land on, if you make the most of your original entry into the league as a QB the path is much different.

Mac Jones shouldn't ever be starting in the NFL, yet he still gets opportunities to try and play the position, if he was a 3rd round pick he would have been gone already, he is making money $15.5MM over 4 years because and only because he was in the 1st round and that is why he still gets a shot against Bailey Zappe who makes $870K this year. Zappe was cut before the season started and has arguably outplayed Jones. Cam Ward would be Bailey Zappe in that equation if he left for the NFL now and he would only get a chance if his team had been dumb enough to select Mac Jones in the 1st round. The Patriots meanwhile will be shopping for a QB in April 2024 and Zappe will be gone and so will Jones perhaps, so much for getting to that second contract quicker.

I'm wondering about the possibility of Taulia as a backup to Ward in 2024 and competing for the starting job in 2025. I've seen it reported that Taulia played in 5 games in 2019 for Bama but I've also found some sites saying he played in 3 games. His stat sheet shows 3 games in 2019. Does anyone know how many games he actually appeared in in 2019?

he played in 5 games.

Evan stewart is the top ranekd WR in the portal

the next 14 WR's ranked after him are all already committed so it's evan stewart or bust

more WR's will enter the portal though I imagine though as we make it known we have cam and are looking

Correct me if I'm wrong, but if he transferred on a grad waiver and then was "injured", couldn't he get an additional year after that? Mccormick has been playing since the fall of the Berlin Wall, so seems like it's technically possible for Taulia to be on the roster in 2025.

People need to realize that this is just Dmoney and Cribbys predictions. Obviously, they have more insight than us, but nothing is final until Ward officially announces. It sounds like he's still deciding between Miami and the NFL, but both feel that Ward is probably staying in college based on the stuff they're hearing. So there should be no season to call them out god forbid it doesn't work out

You’re wrong and for all the other ****** Tua junior doesn’t need a waiver types (even if a moot point now with ward coming it seems) here’s my post about this- which still stands unless someone can demonstrate that although he is listed as appearing in 5 games he only was actually on the field in 4 or less of them in 2019 (just because you didnt record a stat in a game doesn’t mean you didn’t get a snap and I have found nothing as of yet since originally posting this that shows he still has a redshirt to apply:

so to even think about your 2025 scenario he would need to have both a redshirt in 2019 and get a waiver
