And he said that, G. It's a short clip, but he does say that Cam is a more physically gifted athlete during the full broadcast.

Haha yeah man. Cam is to the QB position what Tyron was to Tackles. Just insanity.
Too bad he doesn't have it mentally, and at this rate I doubt he ever will.

Not that we didn't already know this...
Draft is over. Everyone is even now.

I was really rooting for Cam coming out of his breakout year last year. He's regressed, and it's undeniable. He doesn't seem to be having fun anymore, G.

Jeff George had one of the strongest "NFL arms" ever, and he was average.
Brady was this:
What's between the ears means everything, and that's where Dak excels.

Nothing you can disagree with, he's right watching the panthers the other night I had Cams body language. It felt like he didn't care, like he hated football. I dunno I can't put my finger on it.
When you watch Dak you see someone who loves the game and cherishes every moment out on the field. It's like he won't take it for granted. You can see it in his preparation and execution.

In fairness, Cam is only good about every other year. This is his off year.

Exactly. And it's not like Dak is a little guy, he's still 6'2 and 230 pounds. But 40 time and height isn't what makes a great quarterback in this league, it's making good decisions from the pocket and reading defenses.

It's so much more than actual talent. Leadership quality, the ability to adapt, overall intelligence.....the list goes on. There have been a LOT of really good QBs that just didn't have any leadership qualities but have immense overall talent. By the same token, there have been some average talented QBs who had tremendous leadership qualities. Dak has "it" all. You know it when you see it, at least I do.

Duh.....
All run first QB's eventually fail. Most of them come into the league having the number D and a dominant running game (them being a big part of that). Their consistently gets them the ball back good/great field position partly due to high # of takeaways. The problem with the Vicks, Cams, Kluckernicks and Youngs are is they have excelled all their football lives without ever having to be a real QB. Throw Tebow into that group as well. When you are the best athlete on the field Pee Wee through college your coach is under no obligation to get you ready to be an NFL style pocket QB. That coaches job is to win, no matter what, QB fundamentals be damned. It takes thousands and thousands of repetitions, if not hundreds of thousands going through drop backs, progressions, reading the defense, etc, etc that run first QB's never get. By the time you get to the NFL it's way too late. These guys have zero pocket presence or QB instincts which is huge reason why most running QB's are always sacked the most. These guys are vicinity passers who end up killing a lot of worms throwing balls at the receivers feet. Just like Jordan couldn't hit major league pitching while trying to take up baseball at 30 years old, learning from scratch how to be an NFL pocket passing QB won't happen once you are in the league.
