2021 Verbal: Cole Payton

What makes you think he will be here that long?

A middle aged man can dream can't he?

This Spring? Cam. Next fall, I hope QPII.

But Cam didn’t start until the playoffs. Isn’t that a coaching thing? If Can would’ve been inserted by game 3, I think we would’ve seen a much more confident Cam and a better team

lol at people here still convinced the problem is the QB personnel and not the coaching/scheming.

Exactly. By all stats, Cam was better than both the true Frosh QBs at UND and SDSU, and his HS competition was as good or better than theirs. We had/have coaching/scheme issues for sure. And, to those that disagree, I’ll “footnote” the Game-day threads here and all the posts/comments about the play calling. Stick/Wentz/Lance wouldn’t have done much better IMO, other than just say eff it, and either call a different play or take off running on every pass play that didn’t develop, which was 90%.

Probably. Still not the guy I'd want starting the next 4 years though. Think NDSU has proven it has a higher ceiling at that position than I think Cam is able to reach. Just my opinion.

Maybe we need more old associate head coaches? Like a coach retirement center or something. Imagine all the knowledge.

I wonder if Roehl has ever taken the Wonderlic Test, and, if so, what his score was.

I just got a 19. Run it up the gut was never an option.

Cam is not a special talent and diSplayed nothing special. Not saying he is bad, he’s just another FCS qb. NDSU can definitely do better. Playcalling/offensive coaching was terrible. Put them together and our offense....wasn’t good.

Exactly! Truth!

[SDbison]

So we know Roehl will be here next year. Will he be smart enough to correct his poor play calls, find some new plays, call some screen passes, and pass to the TE's a bunch more?
