Ward v Beck v Mensah - Where does Mensah Fit in 2026?

[skyman]

Cam had #1 pick talent and playmaking ability. I just think it's unfair to expect that from Mensah

They werent saying that at time, I just showed you evidence that people were questioning prior to game 1.. You are looking back after the results.. Also nobody placed any expectations like that on Mensah but he is already passed for nearly 4k and 34 TDs (thats with being sacked 27 times), as long as he is protected by oline I think he will be good..

I said he would be the number 1 pick and stood on that

Mensah is a good prospect but he's not a Cam Ward. Carson Beck gets a lot of **** but the game was never to big for him. Mensah really hasn't played in a lot of big time games. We got to see how he performs under real pressure. With Cam and Beck I would feel comfortable going into Notre Dame in a big Top 5 matchup on the road. With Mensah we really haven't seen it yet, he will get it chance though.

Have you watched Mensah play?

I watched him make big play after big play in the ACCCG vs UVA. He put the team on his back.

I saw "it-factor".

I mean if he's even close to efficient as Cam was, we're winning the Natty.

I think it was clear from the spring that Cam Ward was different. Even before he got to Miami it was clear he had elite playmaking ability and special talent.

I wouldn't really call that big game pressure. I'm sure he will be fine in these moments we just need to see it first

To be fair I think Carson was seeing stars when he threw that int.

I've refused to rewatch the film from that game, but I always forget that hit he took. Pretty strong helmet to helmet IIRC

Yeah it was bad, he was really scrambled after the game
