Cam and high throws.

I've begun to think it's something of a common trait to 'gunslinger' types.  Delhomme was known for that too.  It's a mechanics thing.

 

You do what you can to coach stuff like that, but sometimes the smarter thing to do is adjust your roster.

 

Hence, Kelvin Benjamin and a receiving corps with only two guys under six feet (5'10 and 5'11)

I just love how all of the resident experts always say he is throwing off his back foot. If it were that simple don't you think he would have corrected it by now?

Exactly. And for those saying bum ankle blah blah did u not watch panther games last season? He always had balls sailing on him.

Olsen is 6'5 I think and he missed him a couple of times last season. I think I remember one in the playoff game. Heck he even did that today in practice. I doubt it's all about height.

There are quarterbacks who go their entire careers with mechanical issues (Kerry Collins, for example) so no it's not such an easy thing to correct.

 

And the reality is that all the coaching in the world can be completely nullified by sticking a quarterback behind a bad offensive line.  A quarterback who's constantly having to run for his life tends to be one who will have bad habits reinforced rather than fixed.

 

They'll continue coaching his mechanics and, hopefully, we'll see better OL play this season.  But in the meantime, tall long-armed receivers are a pretty good adjustment.
