Official Cam Miller thread

[oldmantutters]

ETSU was sending an extra guy that we couldn't block. Cam couldn't plant or step up into the pocket. Had to get rid of the ball quick and a lot of times no WR open

Gonna need to adapt, you can bet the farm JMU will do the same with better athletes.

Wonder how many times a WR needed to break off a route by reading that, but ran their called play route....

It seems like NDSU has had problem with delayed pressure. JMU lined up their MLB just off the LOS a lot against Montana and the Griz didn't know if he was going to rush the passer and it caused problems.

Since taking over during the MSU game, here's how Cam compares statistically to QB's going back to 2010:

Year	QB	Comp %	Comp	Att	Yds	Yds/Comp	Yds/Att
2021	Miller	67.8	103	152	1,444	14.0	9.5
2021	Patterson	54.5	55	101	813	14.8	8.0
2020	Noland	51.0	51	100	721	14.1	7.2
2020	Miller	50.8	30	59	363	12.1	6.2
2019	Lance	66.9	192	287	2768	14.4	9.6
2018	Stick	62.3	175	281	2752	15.7	9.8
2017	Stick	62.1	164	264	2466	15.0	9.3
2016	Stick	58.7	169	288	2331	13.8	8.1
2015	Stick	61.2	90	147	1144	12.7	7.8
2015	Wentz	62.5	130	208	1651	12.7	7.9
2014	Wentz	63.7	228	358	3111	13.6	8.7
2013	Jensen	66.3	218	329	2793	12.8	8.5
2012	Jensen	61.2	207	338	2331	11.3	6.9
2011	Jensen	67.2	219	326	2524	11.5	7.7
2010	Jensen	45.0	59	131	950	16.1	7.3
2010	Mohler	58.7	101	172	1181	11.7	6.9

These statistics are eye opening. I think someone used the word elite in terms of Cams performance at one point (perhaps in reference to MSU game?). His stats since taking over in that game are on par with Easton in 2017 and Trey and 2019. I'd say the only performance that exceeds his play so far this year was Easton in 2018. If he keeps playing at that same high level, we will win several more championships in the next several years, no question about it. His improvement between the spring and the last 5 games is absurd and is unrivaled when comparing him to a young Brock and young Easton. Say what you want about Cole Payton's abilities, but these numbers and this type of performance are going to be hard to put back on the bench. This says a lot about Cam but also a lot about the coaching to get him to this point in short period of time when he wasn't getting all the reps as the No. 1. The rumors of our demise have been greatly over-exaggerated!! We have the one thing this team needed, a championship caliber quarterback!!!

P.S: Those 2021 statistics for Cam were against play-off teams in 3 of 5 games.

P.S.S: The only time we don't win a national championships going back to 2010 is when our QB's have a completion percentage less than 60%. Mohler and Jensen combined to complete 52.8% in 2010, Stick completed 58.7% in 2016, and Noland and Miller combined to complete 50.9% in the spring of 2020 (Lance completed 50% in his lone 2020 start).

Updated after the season ended. Cam's season statistics (completion percentage, yards/completion, and yards/attempt) put his season in the top 5 for QB play during the run? He exceeded the all important completion percentage of 60% and obviously is a National Champion....and just completed his freshman season. Congratulations to this young man for having the mental fortitude to overcome all the adversity he's had to endure this past season.

Miller reminds me of a mix of Walker/Jensen. More mobile than Walker/less than Jensen...but much like the EWU playoff loss for Jensen, Miller took the whole weight of the loss to Sam Houston on his shoulders and put in the work to get better.

Less mobile then Brock by his Sr. Year? Not a chance.

I'm with TAB on this one. Brock was a solid runner, more so than Cam. I don't see him getting better than Brock running, but hope he proves me wrong.

Brock was a beast running...he was going to get the yards needed. No slight on Cam...he's a better qb than Brock was at this stage of his career.

Brock was huge compared to Cam too. Probably helps.

More than likely Kramer still has a few… enhancements in store for Miller Time.
