I need to say this: Ward is the worst WSU QB since Lopina. He thinks he's Mahomes; however his football IQ is much lower. The side arm screen throws behind the receiver continues to be a joke. Mateer was decisive and sharp. There better be a QB competition next year....a real one!
Your letting Ward's PAST bad performance, wrongly color his performance vs Stanford as "Bad".
Ward was EFFIN AWESOME, vs Stanford.
1 He threw for about, around, close to 300+ yards.
2. He had a high completion %.
3. About Half to semi most of his passes were 13 to 27 yard COMPLETED passes, not just only screen, sideline, swing, 5 yards or less passes.
.
4. He only threw about 6 to 12 of those screen, sideline, swing passes, and most of those were COMPLETED, IN STRIDE.
5. He did have 1, a couple, few, semi some incomplete side arm passes behind screen targets, etc, BECAUSE THE RADIO ANBOUNCER SAID THAT THE REASON WHY HE WAS THROWING THOSE SPECIFIC PASSES IN THOSE SPECIFIC SITUATIONS, SIDE ARM, WAS BECAUSE THE OPPONENT D LINE HAD KNOCKED DOWN ABOUT 2,3,4, SCREEN PASSES, AND THAT HE WAS TRYING TO THROW SIDE ARM AROUND THOSE D LINEMEN, TO AVOID GETTING THOSE PASSES KNOCKED DOWN.
6. He threw a lot of amazing accurate down field, mid range, semi long passes.
7. He threw 2,3,4 TD passed.
8. He had no turnovers, Int's, fumbles, etc.
9. He ran, scrambled, etc, for lots of about 7 to 13 to 17 YARD runs, first downs.
10. He was, looked like a NFL QB that scored about 42+ on Stanford.
Mateer did look almost as good, to as good as Cam in the about 6 to 11 plays, snaps he had.
Now whether it was just Stanford's BAD defense, or a 1 time thing, or whether Cam had his complete game, AHA moment, and whether he will continue to have Stanford like performances or not, and whether MORRIS continues to put Cam into good plays or not, remains to be seen.
But Cam's awesome performance vs Stanford showed a SLIVER GLIMPSE into WHY Cam was projected by most to almost all the official experts in and out of NFL, scouts, coaches, players, etc, to be a 1st, 2nd round pick.
The problem is you, others choose to ONLY see the bad, and NOT SEE, IGNORE the good, when it comes to Cam.
I have been HARD on Morris and rightfully so. But as hard as I have been on Morris, at least I acknowledged, saw, etc, BOTH the BAD and GOOD Morris has done.
I didn't stupidly say that MORRIS'S performance vs Stanford was bad, just, only because Morris was BAD before that.
No, I didn't do that. I rightly acknowledged how good Morris was vs Stanford, and WHY it was good vs Stanford, and that I hope he continues to do good.
When, if Morris, Cam does bad, instead of how awesome they were vs Stanford, THEN you can rightly criticize, Bash them.
But when, if they do good, like they did vs Stanford, you, others need to see, recognize that, and not stupidly Bash Cam, and MORRIS'S and WSU's good job vs Stanford.
You wrongly bashing their Stanford performance, just makes you look like a stupid idiot.
Now if you want to find fault with something, the WR's had another bout with the DROPSIE'S.
Awesome that WSU can score 50+ DESPITE the dropped balls.
