My favorite teams
No, it's the scouts that had Cam picked 1st overall at QB and Wilson early in 3 and I was stating a personal opinion with the perspective of evaluators, not quoting any of them but I wouldn't expect you understand that.
Adams under center with short drops in the pocket? I'm sure that's what draft evaluators are thinking.
.......then say what u mean
He'll get a shot but unlikely drafted at anything but a very late pick if a team wants to keep him away from UDFA options. He does have a similar profile to Wilson and seems smart but he's smaller framed and has a lower release point/ less arm strength. I like his intangibles and wouldn't mind a look but I'm not wasting a pick over another projected starter on him.
YOU LIFTED THE " less arm strength" QUOTE and and used it as your opinion. I saw the same quote on the 'net at 1 of these draft sites.
You're using " less arm strength" in conjunction with Wilson. Wilson has one of the stronger/ more accurate arms in the game ( his numbers & highlights certainly prove it) . Adams doesn't have to "be Wilson" i.e. "hand-size" (Dante Culpepper had 'small hands' ) or have Wilson's arm strength. He can be himself and still be effective as a NFL Qb. At every level he's proven himself.
" he's smaller framed and has and "lower release point". ....saw this on another website. It doesn't mean anything, cuz the kid has performed admirable vs anybody pitted against regardless of so-called " lower release point".

IMO it doesn't matter where he's drafted as long as he's given fair chance and he deserves it based on high-level production (vs good competition) play-making ability and leadership. The ppl. that make the "projections" are wrong every year.

Do you know what a West Coast O is and why small handed short guys that played from a shotgun are not the optimum profile for it? I'm not even saying he couldn't do it because none of us know at this time but that's not a system optimized to his strengths and weaknesses and you served it up as a solution to his profile..
Yes, I'm familiar with many offensive systems I'll bet u don't even know that the "WCO" is a misnomer ( but we'll deal with that some other time).
Drew Brees ( 6'0) plays in WCO. Brees came outta' a "shot-gun"....."spread-offensive" under Joe Tiller at Purdue ( go look it up)
The WCO has evolved to a short-passing, precise route-based "O". I don't think Adams would have a problem in the WCO.
Adams has been a difference-maker and regardless of where he's drafted or not, if ur looking for a winner who seems to always bet the odds,
Adams is somebody I'd want as a Qb. This is not to discount the other college Qb's out there.

side note:
If I could find a qb like Doug Flutie right now ( becuz of his leadership and winning pedigree) I'd take him over any of these so-called " projected 1st rounders"
