Training Camp is fast approaching What....

When you say "we just need to give him a chance", I read "let's take a chance".

Glad we have three guys ahead of him on the depth chart. I wouldn't want to be in a position where we're relying on him unless injuries force it. It's not like he's been buried on the depth chart behind Isaac Bruce, Torry Holt, Az Hakim and Ricky Proehl his whole career.

You can't coach Cam Sim's size at 6'5" 220 lbs. That is a huge catch radius. Wentz should give him opportunities for sure with his arm strength. Could see Cam Sims having a productive season with the new qb.

Could you see it? Sure. But would you count on it?

Kid is only 26 years old and hasn't had a qb with Wentz's tools. McLaurin, Dotson, and Samuel are all around 6 ft. Sims sticks out bigtime with his size which will prove beneficial in certain plays/formations. Would not count on it but cautiously optimistic to answer your question.

Plenty of players are 6'5" 220lbs and not worth anything

Sure but being a larger qb is an advantage. Typically, they have better vision to see the field and durability. Plenty of smaller players are worth less.

The thing is we don't need to take a chance. Like you said we have guys ahead of him.
For me it was more about predicting who's gonna step up, and with Logan Thomas potentially unavailable to start the season, it's not unlikely that Wentz could enjoy having a big body receiver that has proven he can make some tough contested catches... Now if you wanna say that big target is more likely to be 5th round pick TE Cole Turner than Cam Sims, it's a fair discussion to have, but I wouldn't bet crazy money on either of them, it's July, we're just making conjectures for now.

A lot hype for Cole Turner. So much so that people are almost forgetting about Thomas and Bates. I know Thomas may start hurt but he is still a very good player. Bates' blocking is excellent and his receiving is serviceable. Eager to see if Turner is the real deal at tight end catching passes as believed.
