So if you only play 4 games a year, you can just play forever?
Also, let’s stop calling it 7th year senior and 8th year senior. What else can we call it? 5th year senior, ok. Anything past that, call it something else.

Clutch Points is basically Buzz Feed click bait. The entire article was based on Whitt saying he’ll let Cam decide his future. Nothing earth shattering. What else is he supposed to say in a really quick exchange with Furlong? “Utah football’s Cam Rising gets big update on Utes future” that word salad headline alone lets you know the quality of work.

here’s the funny/sad part. IF Cam were to come back…and did somehow become healthy and lead our team to a 10 win season or better next year. Almost everyone here would forget everything we said this year and jump right back on the Cam Train. Hope springs eternal. I’m not nearly hypocritical enough to exempt myself from this.
I’m just saying we’ve had 2 years running of a Dumb and Dumber “you’re saying there’s a chance” smacking us in the face but a interesting part of fandom is that fanatic aspect will rule…as long as we win.
That being said I would rather us make smart long-term decisions now than hang our hopes on another long shot outcome.

I wouldn’t forget and would gladly take the downvotes for it. At this point, bringing back Rising is like going all in every hand when you are losing at the poker table. At best you’re hoping to break even with one good result so that you can pretend all the losing hands before didn’t happen.

This isn’t that complicated. Anyone that has missed 2 years has to compete for a roll on game day. Absolutely we do everything possible to have as many options and the best possible options in the QB room. If Cam wants to be one of the 4 great options and compete for playing time, so be it. As for NIL, he is already ahead of delivering value, should not be the highest paid QB in the room and will likely have offers for more than Utah can offer with the need for other options. If he can accept that and has a desire to finish at Utah, so be it. But it is Cam’s decision to try for another year, it is Utah’s decision as to what to offer and hopefully it is agreeable he has already been payed enough.

2021-2022 Cam isn’t walking out on the playing field again. Cam’s mobility and run game, a big part of his play, is gone. This was before his latest knee injury.
What is left is a field general that would have to win back his troops, smart but weak armed immobile QB.
Thanks Cam for giving us your everything. It’s best we all move on. Whitt won’t move on or move on easily because the QB position is still an unsolved mystery to him.

I’m for whoever is the best QB available next year. If that is Cam, I am for Cam. This team needs a viable QB2, and it needs an offense that can work for a quarterback who has not been in the system and/or sitting in the booth with the OC for years. I am mostly worried about our O-line and RB rooms.

My question if Can would come back and accept being QB2.
If so and NIL went to others that have earned it I. The field in the past season, then fine. He could be an asset in the QB room.
If he demands being a starter, then no thanks.

I am fine with Cam coming back as long as his NIL is less than $100,000. Use the money somewhere else.
