I want to get this out there before camp starts. I think Wilson is going to be the breakout player. I think he fits what Sperbeck is installing really well and his speed and running ability are going to set him apart. It’s going to be a good battle in camp against Duchien and Lamson but I think he’s a better passer than Lamson and a better runner than Duchien. I think Warren is going to make good progress in camp and will push for the backup role as the season progresses.

If Lamson can get back to throwing the ball like he did in high school, then he’s got a good shot. I don’t know what happened to him in college but his accuracy has been poor.

But I think it’ll be Wilson and I think he’s going to be a top three quarterback in the BSC and will lead all BSC quarterbacks in rushing yards.

I’m not too well versed on the current BSC QB’s, but I’d personally be concerned if Wilson runs a significant amount. He appeared to be real skinny when I saw him last season.

I really hope your right. I think if Wilson takes the next step he has the highest ceiling imho. Lamson will take snaps, especially in the red zone similar to Chambers but Chance has the tools to be a lethal weapon for the Cats offense.

I was eating lunch yesterday and a handful of players came in...Wilson being one of them. He looks like he's bigger. Not big of course but he looks like he's been working hard in the weight room, and probably maturing physically as well. Jefferson was with him. He's a large human!

I think you’re right about Wilson. I have a hard time believing he’s only 180. I’d guess 190-195.

When it comes to getting hit frequently, almost always.

Exceptions don’t make rules.

In terms of physics this is true when everything is controlled. However, small QBs actually get hurt with less regularity (and are therefore more durable? No.) than big QBs. This is probably because small QBs are more wary of being hurt.

I'll leave you with this quote from NFL Hall of Fame QB Fran Tarkenton, who held every major NFL career passing record for longer than any QB in NFL history and didn't miss a game due to injury until his 17th season. He was 6'0" and weighed 190 pounds, according to PFR. I have a hard time believing he weighed 190 pounds. I would guess 180. Maybe the preacher's son was hiding a beer belly under his jersey.

“I wasn’t the biggest, strongest or fastest guy,” Fran told NFL Films, so all that scrambling “was borne out of self-preservation."

Tarkenton never went out looking to make contact like a lot of running QBs do these days. He operated more like what you say Mellott doing this past season. Get some yards and get out of bounds or get down. I recall Tarkenton saying by scrambling he enabled himself to be tackled going with the contact and that reduced the impact of the hit. I'm surprised QBs don't adopt this style. Reminds me a little of Kareem's skyhook. It's very effective but hardly ever imitated.

As we near kickoff schedule., My biggest concerns are still the secondary on defense. Listening to the interviews of the cornerbacks coach they seem to echo my concerns of being physical enough in tackling. The concerns seem to be less about cupboard skills. Anybody have an idea of who might be our breakout corners that can both cover and be physical enough to tackle.

If you go look at the fall camp thread, Justin Lamson is going to be the greatest player in the history of the program at QB and this year's offense is going to be better than last years. So I'd have to say Lamson will be the breakout guy, if any of that nonsense is even 75% true.

Now your feelings are hurt on 2 threads. Show the post that says he will be the greatest ever. Strong RB, Strong OL, upgrade at WR potentially, so if he is good it I possible to be as good or better.

Do you think the Cats have a chance to be National Champs. If so they will need to be as good offensively and upgraded defensively to do that.

One poster in particular is doing an incredible job of hyping up Lamson and driving debate and discussion on that thread.
