He really reminds me in a lot of ways physically of Cam Newton. Just a massive man, big cannon and can run really well. Not as fast and athletic as Cam Newton. But the same rocket arm and throwing stuff on a rope sometimes instead of throwing with touch. And even the missing the broad side of a barn sometimes and then nailing a 60 yard pass in the perfect spot the next play.
Cam might be the most elite physical specimen to ever play QB. If he was more accurate, it would have been frightening.
Right, to me his biggest problem is just managing the game, staying on schedule, all that. Just take the easy throws when they're there. Move the chains and possess the ball. Not everything has to be a 25 yard gain.
He was also much quicker to use his legs when he saw a lane, which is important for a QB like him who is...limited as a passer.
He was taking some heat off his passes last night which was probably the most important thing I saw.
I actually don't think he's super special either, but I do think he could fill a role as that power back that we really don't have. Williams is kind of stocky, but he's not really a power guy. And with the way Schottenheimer seems to want a physical team, I'm hoping he values that enough to at least keep him on the practice squad and develop him some more.
Not that hard of a decision.
And he's not even that good even when healthy. He looked as spare as it gets against the Ravens.
I think he looks fast in practice when guys aren't wrapping up. And he probably is fast. But he is a guy who needs a lot of running room to be effective in my opinion.
Right, and I suspect they're putting huge weight on his being a veteran. Too much weight, I think.
