Look how quickly some of these QBs ascend up draft boards. Guys you’ve never heard of have a big season and show all the tools all of a sudden they are a top 10 projection. Not saying it’s likely for Cam, but this stuff is happening every year now.
The only thing that would hurt Cam's chances at the NFL or NFL 1st round, is 1. NOT having a 3850+ yards, 36+ TD's, 10 an or under INT's, 8,9,10,11 wins, Alamo Bowl, Rose bowl, Pac 12 champ game, North title, etc.
2. Injury
3. MAYBE being WRONGLY labeled a SYSTEM Air Raid QB(Altho the NFL is warming up to AIR RAID QB's.
Not only did, does Cam have, produced about, almost 5k yards, 50 TD's, 10 INT's, playoffs in the FCS, considered a top 4 QB recruit in all of College football, including Power 5 FBS, etc, but Cam is, also has:
Cam has, or will have a NFL body, NFL Arm(Arm strength, etc), NFL MOBILITY, ATHLETICISM.
It's obvious from spring practice, spring game, etc, that even in P5, FBS, etc, he Cam has good pocket awareness, mobility, quick release, accuracy, arm strength, can make all the throws, high QB, NFL IQ, mobility, athleticism, etc, that based on his 250 yards, 4 TD's, no INT's, in about, ONLY about 15+ minutes, 2,3,4,5 times leading, taking snaps the WHOLE GAME, and being on a clip, would have gotten about 850, yards, 10+ TD's had he played the whole game, and had the same clip level of continued success.
Based on ALL that it's EXTREMELY ULTIMATE LIKELY that either after this year or the next, senior year that he will, would extremely likely go 1st round of draft.
Some extremely credible Former NFL players, coaches, experts, pundits have not only stated he is a 1st round talent, but explained why in depth.
Now sure, they, me, anyone else thinking, projecting, extrapolating this could THEORETICALLY end up wrong.
He, Cam could end up not meeting, reaching his EXTREMELY LIKELY ON PAPER, LOGICAL POTENTIAL.
So that's why Cam, WSU still has to play the games.
There is a reason why other programs offered him 200k, 300k, 400k, etc, NIL DEALS, and why he is consider one of the best about TOP 4 QB recruits in the entire nation, and in all of College football Dom, etc.
To those who don't think this, all these things, don't see Cam as a 1st round prospect, etc, they suffer from Poor Ole Little Ole Ah Shucks WSU syndrome of thinking that WSU would almost never ever get such a QB, and that such a QB would chose Alabama, Georgia, Clemson, Ohio State, etc, over WSU.
If Cam did go to Alabama, Georgia, Clemson, Ohio State the media, fans, players, coaches would probably think he Cam would goto NFL, as that is the BIG BOY football culture there, unlike the Poor Ole Little Ole Ah Shucks WSU football culture.
