Cam and high throws.

[Leeroy Jenkins PhD]

He throws the ball with high velocity.  When throwing it as hard as he does, I am sure manipulating the trajectory is difficult.

 

My theory is that the harder a QB throws the ball, the more difficulty he will have with location.  

[Mr. Scot]

It's muscle memory. When his ankle stops hurting he'll get back to drilling the ball down.

 

That's a bigger deal than people think.

[CelibatePimp]

So should we just pretend he didn't have ankle surgery?

No we shouldn't pretend this issue is happening only after he had surgery. It predates his surgery.

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.

Olsen has a 36inch vertical, while Benjamin has a 42.5inch vertical...a young Steve Smith had a 38inch vert.

[Frank Hollywood]

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

It's common knowledge throwing off your back foot can cause balls to sail. Some of his throws off his back foot in the past has been due to pressure and not having time to go through the entire throwing motion.

So does the injury to be fair

Yes he has overthrows, but I think you are blowing it out of proportion. He's still got work to do with his mechanics obviously, but the soreness from the surgery is certainly not going to help matters with that right now. I'm more worried about our OL protecting him at this point.

Not sure where you are getting Kelvin's numbers. He had a very pedestrian 32" vert if my memory is correct

[Mojoman]

Accuracy is not Cam's strong point.  What he lacks in accuracy is offset by elusiveness, strength, and athleticism. Kinda like Brett Farve. 

[Mr. Scot]

Height helps though.  Potentially a lot.

 

Newton has been, and probably always will be, a guy whose accuracy is more in the 'catchable pass' vein than 'pinpoint accurate'.  Like a lot of guys with his playing style, he's capable of delivering an absolutely perfect strike, and following up with a shot that makes you go 'what the hell' :unsure:

 

To tell the truth, that's a lot of quarterbacks.  There aren't that many 'surgical precision' guys out there.

 

Again, you adjust.

Cam doesn't need to fix it... Gettlemagic fixed it with simple ABCs of team management... Avant, Benji, Cotchery...

While Jake was never top tier, he did go downhill after they brought in a new QB coach who was supposed to "help his mechanics"..

Prob'ly drunk on miPhone using CarolinaHuddle...

[beastson]

Why don't we have anybody to catch them?

[Ja Rhule]

footwork issue

[camycamcan]

It's not rain or surgery we've all seen him throw away some passes sometimes he's always done it
