Cam Ward

[mikalalas]

You think he will be a first rounder? That’s day one…or are you thinking round two-three?

It’s going to be a tall order to get drafted in the first round with all the QBs that will be on the board, assuming he goes after this season. As far as where he ranks now, he’s probably anywhere from 7-15. I haven’t seen recent projections but guessing most would have him in the 3rd-6th round right now. In a lighter QB draft class maybe he’d be a lot higher. Maybe also a reason for him to stick around his Sr year. I don’t think there’s any question he will get drafted though.

Last pick of 1st round at best, and last pick of 3rd round at worst.

At least that's what the NFL scouts are projecting, and what the NFL experts are projecting.

At ultimate extreme worst, he doesn't go any lower then last pick of 4th round.

If he stays for his senior year, he is projected as a sure 1st rounder, either HEISMAN winner or runner up

This years QB class is comparable to the 83 QB class, and there is about 20+ QB's that will probably get drafted by the last pick of round 5.

There could be 8 QB's that go in first round alone.

Cam has had a good to great season so far, two wins over ranked teams is impressive. However, in the end where he is drafted and where he ranks in Cougar history depends upon how he does the rest way. There are 3 difficult road games left, UCLA, Oregon, and UW, and needless to say he needs to win the other 5. But ultimately it comes down to winning big games on the road. Win 1 of three of those big games, is good, 2 of 3 is great, 3 of 3, which is next to impossible, would be off the charts and put him in the all time great category. He is not there yet, and there is still a long season ahead. Each win moves him up a notch. In the meantime enjoy the ride and let’s hope this team continues to improve each week. Up next is UCLA, a solid team, that should win 7-9 games, and the Cougs don’t have a great winning history in LA, a win next week would be a huge step forward. And the Cougs will be underdogs.

UCLA is a win, might probably be a easy game, or at least should be.

The only thing that might make UCLA harder is that they get a bye week to prepare for WSU.

That said WSU gets a bye week to prepare for UCLA.

Also UCLA only scored 7 points all game long vs Utah. Between some to most of that is Utah, but some of that is UCLA, that is overrated, and that WSU should have a field day, easier time with, then Ore St, who is a heck lot harder then UCLA.

The 3 teams that should be a problem for WSU, should be Oregon, UW, and the PAC 12 championship game team, whoever that ends up being.

There is about a 17 to 33% chance that WSU ekes out a 1 point win vs Oregon at home.

And about a 4% to 7% chance that WSU ekes out a 1 point win vs UW.

And about a 33% to 43% chance that beat 1 of either Oregon or UW.

And about a 2,3% chance that win PAC 12 championship game by 1 point if go to championship game.

Matchup predictor has UCLA at a 67% chance to win. I’m not sure I buy that but this will be far from an easy game IMO. Another toss up like OSU, I’d guess UCLA will be favored by 2-3 as well.

 

[COUGinNCW]

I think his ceiling is 2nd round if he keeps balling like he has been.

It will get interesting if he projects to be a 3rd-5th round pick. He can probably make more as a grad transfer at a school like Alabama, Texas etc than he would in the NFL.

Question for those in the know. When you graduate you can transfer without sitting out regardless of if you already were a portal transfer? Would hope Cam wouldn’t want to move if he thought he was better off coming back and being a top 3 QB next year vs competing with this huge group of QBs this year, but it’s the world we live in.

OSU is a HELL LOT HARDER, BETTER then UCLA.

OSU will, would beat UCLA, and WSU put up 38 on, beat OSU.

And UCLA ONLY scored 7, SEVEN points, ALL game long.

While WSU's defense is not as good as Utah's, WSU should be able to limit UCLA to about, around 23 points.

And WSU's offense is a HELL LOT BETTER then the Utah's offense that didn't have Cam Rising, that put up 14 on UCLA.

Because of that WSU should put up at least 26 points at WORST on UCLA, And probably 30+ on UCLA.

UCLA and their True freshman QB is way the hell OVERRATED.

Only way WSU loses, is IF WSU takes UCLA lightly and gets upset.

But that is not likely to happen, as Dickert will have WSU LASER FOCUSED on beating UCLA.

Also a HEISMAN candidate, contender is not going to lose to UCLA, unless gets upset, takes UCLA lightly.

But again, that's not going to happen, because of Cam's competitiveness, and Dickert having him LASER FOCUSED on winning.

If UCLA WINS IT WOULD BE A EXTREME UPSET.

Doesn't matter that the thing stupidly says 67% that UCLA beat WSU.

Only reason that thing says that, is things like that don't recognize WSU, disrespect WSU, and goes by the OVERRATEDNESS of UCLA.

The thing was WRONG about Wisconsin. WRONG about OSU. And WRONG about UCLA.

UCLA might not be a easy game. BUT BASED ON THE METRICS, NUMBERS, ETC, IT SHOULD BE A EASY GAME.

Cam is probably not graduating after this year, and even if he was, he probably isn't grad transferring.

Also he is getting $100k + $100k value, black pick up truck, + being on a team that with him, would probably be a shoe in to make the 12 team playoffs next year if he stays.

Cam is either going to the NFL or staying.

He isn't bloody dam likely to transfer

I love the optimism but I’d be surprised if it wasn’t a close game. The Beavs are tough but I’m not buying that they are slapping the Bruins around.

WSU is not a shoo-in to make the 12-team playoffs, and dozens of programs could get him $100k and a leased truck, or much more, if they needed a QB.

You get 1 “free” transfer prior to graduating and can get another free one as a grad transfer. I still believe you have to be in a program not offered at your current school but not 100% on that. That’s why I’d be shocked if Ward is in a Cougar uniform next season. NFL or huge NIL payday next year.

The transfer rule I’m not sure on is JC guys. If you bring one in can they transfer again before they graduate or was the JC to 4 year school considered their 1 “freebie”?

Dozens of programs could come up with a $100k by looking in the couch cushions.

 

[etowncoug]

The season is far from done but Ward has looked as good as anyone in the nation. I don't get the "throws dumb picks" complaint against a guy who hasn't thrown a pick this year. Season is far from over but there is nothing to complain about so far.

 

[95coug]

If you are referring to Gordon, his biggest problem was that the team was worse than the seasons before...even if it wasn't all his fault. The UCLA meltdown was one for the ages and despite all the first half points....he was bad in the fourth quarter when it mattered. I was at Rice-Eccles in 2019 and he was mediocre against a good defense. He fell victim to our Berkeley curse, where it seems like we often underperform there. Like so many other WSU QB's, he sucked against UW. The other Cougs on that list either led us to 9+ win seasons or were in the national eye for a couple years. Jack Thompson and Mark Rypien played and started in the NFL. Gordon did none of that.

Gordon was a pleasant surprise, but there was a reason that Leach brought in Minshew in 2018. Much like Alex Brink, Gordon put up stats but he didn't elevate the team overall with his play. Notice that Brink wasn't in that quote either.

It makes it much harder to elevate the team or to overcome good defenses when you don't use half of the field. Gordon only looked at half of it.

 

[95coug]

I think his ceiling is 2nd round if he keeps balling like he has been.

It will get interesting if he projects to be a 3rd-5th round pick. He can probably make more as a grad transfer at a school like Alabama, Texas etc than he would in the NFL.

I did a search yesterday after Mik's dubious claims about what NFL scouts are saying, and about Ward being on Heisman lists.

Couldn't find anything from actual scouts, but several recent articles from the "draft experts." His profile has increased, but most right now still have him as a day 3 pick. A couple reach up to late day 2. Most say that there's promise there, and that if he keeps it up he could get into the 2nd round. Consensus is that he's in the top 10 QBs this season (which doesn't even guarantee selection).

One of the assessments that I thought was pretty accurate:
"You see bright flashes of anticipation with his throws, tight window accuracy in spurts and an ability to convert first downs with his legs if you throw extra pressure at him but don’t get home. The creativity comes with a recklessness that creates some undesirable outcomes, some unnecessary risks and too many negative plays. And with some of his best work coming outside of structure, his ability as a rhythm passer is going to need to be further developed. He executes schemed throws in the screen game rather well but beyond that I believe there’s considerable growth potential that can be realized...His ability to throw off-platform is a double-edged sword that can yield to some bad misses and foul balls down the field. And although he has essentially all the clubs in the bag, a more consistent feel of WHEN to call upon those clubs (skills) will go a long way in more consistent performance."

As for the Heisman, all I found about him there were oddsmaker pages that have him at #10-11. Caleb WIlliams and Michael Penix seem to be the favorites right now.

 

[roses04]

As for leaving early or NIL Deal, Michael Penix is getting 1 million a year. Caleb Williams is at 2.6 million a year, schools with deep pockets will probably not have players leaving early for the draft if their NIL deal is more than an NFL first round salary. $100K and a pickup truck got Cam in the door, but it will take a whole lot more keep him. Top tier players at rich schools may soon be playing out all their years of eligibility in college, because they will have to take a pay cut to go to the pros. There are now players in college that are making more than many coaches, the players income will increase more rapidly than the coaches over the next few years.

Will they still sit out the bowl game though?! Would be interesting to see if any of these NIL deals specify that the player can’t sit out a game by choice or they forfeit some $. Caleb Williams for example could be in the Sun Bowl after this season. Does he have to play now that he’s getting paid or does the school not care because it’s the sun bowl?

Dude I have seen Cam as high as 5,6,7,8 on HEISMAN list on CREDIBLE sites LIKE ESPN, FOX, SI(Sports illustrated), TYPE of sites, streams, videos, TV, etc, online, etc.

I'm not making this stuff up, not pulling anything out of my butt.

If I hadn't of seen it, I wouldn't have said anything.

I don't know where your looking or not looking, or how you search, etc, but it's out there, and seeable, and I have seen it, and just because you have not seen it, does not mean that me, others have not seen it, or that it is not out there, etc

OMG Mik, This is Cougar Football, and you are penciling in sure wins? The Cougs could win every game the rest of the way, unlikely, but possible. The Cougs could lose to a team that they are favored to win, highly likely and possible. UW got beat by a crappy ASU team last year, how did that happen? the Cougs have lost many a game in which they were favored. Its long season, injuries, bad games, a couple of bad calls, anything can happen in any game, there are no sure victories. Winning in the Rose bowl at UCLA has never been easy, last time we played they at home we were up by about 50 in the third quarter and lost the damn game. I hope we beat them by 3 scores, but I doubt that will happen, if we can pull out a win I'd be happy as hell.

We were up 32. 49-17 I believe. I was there! I was also in the rose bowl when the Ghost ran all over them and we blew them out. Don’t remember the year but it was a fun game.

The season is far from done but Ward has looked as good as anyone in the nation. I don't get the "throws dumb picks" complaint against a guy who hasn't thrown a pick this year. Season is far from over but there is nothing to complain about so far.

I was there too, it was painful to watch, didn't think it could happen, but it did.

Current Draft Projection for Washington State QB Cameron Ward​

Ward has been a constant presence in early mocks for the 2023 NFL Draft, and it’s easy to see why. The physical tools are outstanding, with the arm talent and creative mobility extremely alluring.

The Washington State quarterback has also adapted extremely well to the significant uptick in “level of competition” since transferring from Incarnate Word to the Cougars, suggesting that he would be able to handle the next step with equal aplomb.https://www.profootballnetwork.com/cameron-ward-qb-washington-state-nfl-draft-scouting-report-2023/
