Cam Ward is a one of kind, getting a QB like a Mendoza (whom is far from Cam Wards level) will still allow this team to win games because of an exceptional O-line and WR core. Not to mention the RB room.

    The fact is, Mario made this situation 100x worst by his aloof comments to the media when asked. He could’ve easily had Cam’s back, but instead he chose to give an answer in a tone & manner that raised unnecessary?’s & criticism.
    Mario always act like what he’s doing is secret service level, & maybe that’s y he wanted to go that path b4 he got in to coaching, but it’s completely unfair that Ward is suffering from unnecessary blow back when he did great by us.

      I believe he only came in for two plays. The third and five, that was converted to a first down with Emory and the Hail Mary. I might have missed a couple of others, but I saw him with his helmet off I the sideline. He is gonna be drafted very high. I was surprised he played at all.
      I, for one, am grateful for Arroyo, Ward, and JG for playing in this game. They could have bowed out like so many others did, which affected the performance of teams in the Bowl games, not included with the playoff.
      Now comes the off-season, and we need a QB....

    I don't believe I would have suited up to play just a half. Ward is a stud wouldn't have blamed him for not suiting up at all to avoid injury and draft status. My opinion was he suited up for the half regardless of outcome to possibly break a the record. To the people that argue injury possibility for not playing in the second half, thats moronic. Injuries don't have a time limit or expire after a certain point. Good luck in the NFL Ward, you will do well.

    To be fair, one of the reasons in recent years that true college football fans have started making the complaint, that bowl games don't matter anymore, is *because* of the players more frequently choosing to sit out of the games. You're not wrong that there were people complaining for years that there were too many bowl games and that most of them, outside of the marquee ones, were meaningless. For those complainers, maybe *they* should sit out of this discussion, no pun intended. This particular game, though, in spite of the silly but fun Pop-Tarts branding, was probably the biggest non-playoff bowl game, so, for the college football purist, you hate to see teams not giving it their all. It's all about incentives, and I understand players wanting to protect themselves.

"Cam’s DNA, his upbringing, everything he’s made of and stands for is the right kind of stuff. He's had a tremendous impact on our community, our team, our program and alumni. He understands the importance of finishing, and he understands the caliber of opponent we are playing and the importance of playing at a really high level to give us the best opportunity in this game."
