2021 Verbal: Cole Payton

[SDbison]

How many games have we not needed to come back in because of a highly functioning offense?

Highly functioning offense? Lol

Highly functioning offense? Lol

We averaged 34 points per game last year, with our largest margins of victory happening during conference games that Cam was in. He was one of the most (if not literally the most efficient quarterback in the country last year. Look it up. He's not perfect but wow. If we were having to come back all the time you'd be ragging on him for that instead.

Win by too much? Complain
Win by not enough? Complain
Lose? You guessed it

And we're averaging nearly 37 this year. I just do not understand people's blatant disregard for objective data. He protects the ball and is efficient. Im not sure what else you would want from the guy.

Sometimes you have a point, now is one of those times.

And three of the five games we shut it down at halftime...

You're the one complaining that he doesn't have any comebacks (he does) to his name

Trey Lance never had any comebacks either, what a pud!

You don’t believe people’s disregard for objective data?? I think the evidence of this very common malady is ubiquitous and resplendent of late. Eh?

But, put me down as a member of the “Cam is the man” club

Cam was very efficient last year and probably saved the season, but it feels like he's not taking his game to the next level. I remember thinking the same thing about Easton his 2nd year starting. It may not be a fair comparison because he really hasn't played that many games

[scottietohottie]

I'm sure both of these guys will dud out fine in the NFL just like the rest of them eh.
