What impressed me the most about Ward was his leadership. He's a special player, we'll see a lot of him in the NFL. I have nothing but love for Cam Ward and like I said, I was all in on him this time last year when very few were.

My point was just you look for someone with that kind of toolbox - the release, the accuracy, the mechanics, the quick decisions - Ewers is the only one who's talked about in the portal who has that kind of top round NFL skillset like Cam had. That was the only point I was getting to. Nothing against Medoza either, I just don't see that same ceiling with him as I do Ewers or did with Cam

People are conflating talent-level with skill-set; Ewers has the skillset to run Dawson's offense at a very high level. Can he make some of the eye-popping throws? No; but he can check down and stay on time, which Cam had problems doing consistently. Cam chased the big play over the routine too often, and people are underestimating how consistently making routine plays can be more effective than occasional spectacular ones.

Pulling the ball on an RPO, then getting it out quickly and accurately without resetting your feet is something Ewers and Cam do very well. That body control and off-platform ability gets the ball to playmakers with an extra millisecond and means the difference between a contested catch vs YAC; subtleties like these are all over Ewers' film and should be the primary basis of QB/scheme comps. Their similarities in skillset are undeniable.

Hopefully we get to see Ewers run the offense and take us further than Cam.

I heard Ewers has several $$$$ offers from B1G teams (over $4m).
Is that something we are willing to spend?
