Cam Ward

[FRANKIEFAN]

Horrible teammate and absolute lowlife playing in his bowl game just to set a record and then quitting on his team after. Miami is going to drop to what 1-12 in their most recent bowls if Iowa State wins. Glad we beat that loser.

Spent like 7 years in college. LOL at a QB needy team wasting a top 5 pick on him he probably won't make it through half a season before he gets hurt.

Realistically Kyle can't jump him but I do think McCord should test better and maybe jump ahead of Beck who didn't do much despite playing for the best program in CFB. He was a big dropoff from Bennett.

I just turned on game and saw he wasn't in there. Gutless.

Been watching the game with half an eye/ear tuned. Had no idea that that's why he wasn't in the game.
Pathetic.

 

[upperdeck]

he played a half when he didn't need to.

he is a top 5 pick

sure mess around with 50 million

 

[GreekFreak]

So it’s an acceptable risk to get hurt playing for a statistical record but not playing for a victory with your teammates. Glad Cam plays for “The U.”

Right. Risk injury for the record.

Then bail on your teammates.

 

[pokercuse08]

Ehhhh... If McCord was definitely going pro and being talked about as a first round pick, nobody here would be trashing him if he stayed in until he had 268 yards last night and then did the smart thing. We'd probably frame it as heroic to get that record and have a Syracuse QB atop the list.

Screw Miami always and forever, but I don't fault Ward for this.

 

[dwilmont44]

I'm sure the team knew the plan going into the game

 

[swish7]

Wait, what? That's why he left the game? I was casually watching w the sound off, music on, while puttering around the house. Good lord.

 

[Symphony Steve]

I'm sure the team knew the plan going into the game

I'm sure they did:

"Cam's only playing to break a record. Then he's gonna bail on you."

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

Haha Iowa State takes the lead. I hate Miami can't wait to beat them again next year.

 

[dasher]

Do we move ahead of them in the final poll if they lose? Same record and we did beat them head to head.

 

[Eric15]

Miami is down 42-41 with 45 seconds left so I assume Cristobal will opt to take a few knees and play for OT.

 

[FRANKIEFAN]

Can't believe the better teams in the Big 12 like Iowa State let freaking ASU the worst team from the P12 win the conference.

We didn't face WSU with their QB but they're much better than anyone in the Big 12.

 

[baggerbob]

Shouldn't have played at all then, definitely a bad character trait
,to just play for your record and not your team.

 

[Eric15]

The talent gap between Cam Ward and this Miami backup is bigger than the gap between the backup and me.

 

[farnsworth]

Cristobal is a terrible coach. Without Cam Ward they will be back to 6-6 Miami next year. Nobody does less with more talent than the U.

 

[Qbobby]

And... Miami loses.

 

[capeorange]

A much different culture between the U and the SU. Our guys don't quit on their teammates.

 

[rocfan44]

I agree, I think it is selfish. He hadn’t been sacked all game. I have a feeling that Sanders and Hunter do the same tonight.

 

[phillydad]

We should be ranked ahead of Miami. They beat nobody and lucked out a couple of wins vs Cal and VT. They were a fraud all year.
And we beat them.

 

[anglerman]

What he did was pitiful you couldn’t be more wrong. He was extremely selfish and only cared about getting the record. his teammates and the miami fans

 

[Cuse99&01]

It will be funny if Dillion Gabriel breaks his newly acquired record in the next few weeks

 

[Sudano]

I'm sure the team knew the plan going into the game

And they should have said, FU, no you're not

 

[Ringostar57]

Could you imagine this in track and field....yeh I'll run the four lap mile but I'm pullin out after the second lap. Always finish what you start!
