    Camp arm.

    (Which is pronounced “kah-parhm” with emphasis on the 2nd syllable.)

    If something happens to one of the other 3, then, he becomes the 3rd by default and runs the scout team.

    If something happens to one of the other 3 during the season, he is a phone call away.

    Meanwhile Foles is catching up on his gardening.

    Dylan Thompson. I dunno, he sounds like a folk singer.

    Maybe Fisher is stuck in the 6o’s.

    It makes me question the whole entire new offense.

    Instead, think Warren Zevon. Dylan the Thompson gunner. Puts the thing in a whole new light.

    Dylan Thompson

    http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/profiles/dylan-thompson?id=2552571

    6’3″
    218LBS.

    ANALYSIS

    STRENGTHS

    Adequate height with good bulk on his frame. Recognizes when to take a deep shot and is decisive in doing so. Puts some pepper on his throws. Able to throw the deep out to the field side.

    WEAKNESSES

    Footwork is an absolute mess. Has issues getting feet set on many throws and compounds issue by short-arming throw. Inaccurate, with tendency to sail the ball or throw behind receiver. Below average leading receivers to give them a chance to pick up yards after catch.

    DRAFT PROJECTION Priority free agent

    BOTTOM LINE One-year starter in the SEC with adequate size. Poor footwork and substantial accuracy and ball placement issues have him tabbed as a draft reject on several draft boards, according to scouts.

    ===

    Dylan Thompson
    Height: 6-2.5
    Weight: 212
    School: South Carolina

    http://www.draftinsider.net/reports/2015/QB/Dylan-Thompson

    Bio: Moved into the starting role last season then set a South Carolina record with a conference leading 3564 yards passing. Also threw 26 TDs.

    Positive: Patient intermediate range passer who accurately places throws. Sits in the pocket, scans the field and goes through progressions. Elusive with the ability to scramble away from defenders, buys time and improvises when plays breakdown. Quickly locates the open receiver, effectively times his throws and does not have receivers waiting on the ball. Knows where his receivers are and accurate making the throw on the move. Possesses a relatively quick release.

    Negative: Lacks great pocket stature. Cannot drive deep throws.

    Analysis: Thompson did a terrific job the only year he started for South Carolina and displayed enough accuracy to warrant space on a practice squad.
