What a breath of fresh air. Cam was a baller throwing kill shots, but boy did he leave a lot of free yards on the table hunting for the big play. Beck's checkdown to Fletcher with about 10:30 left in the 2nd quarter was a thing of beauty. His last read, short toss to Fletcher who coasts to an easy almost 20 yards. I sleep better at night with Beck behind center.

There were times last year that Cam would stare down Fletcher in the flat wide open and then go, "**** THIS **** I'M CHUCKING THE BALL". Sometimes it worked and sometimes it'd be a pick. Almost like he was offended that Shannon would draw up a play to allow him to have outlets within 10 yards of the line of scrimmage.

Haha yeah Cam is almost TOO alpha. He wants to be OC and QB. But he was so good they let him run with it.

I love Cam, but that was his one weakness. It was never more glaring than at Syracuse on our last drive. On that 4th down he had Martinez wide open on the left side, who had snuck out of the backfield. He would have gained big yardage, because the Cuse was playing prevent with 2 deep safeties. He looked at him but didn’t throw him the ball and was sacked and fumbled.

But, even with that being said, Cam was a stud. If we had this year’s defense last season, we probably win the natty.

Beck has been elite for us, plain and simple.

In a preseason interview last year Cam said he compared his game to Brett Favre and he had a gunslinger mentality. I guess yall thought he was bullsh*tin? Lol

So when he did stuff like that I thought “Oh that’s who he said he was.”
