Cam is high

[Servant of Cthululelei]

Not an excuse.  It's an explanation.

 

With Brees, that's an exception.  With Newton, it's every play.

 

No. No it just isn't.  The protection was very good tonight through the first half.  Cam making poor passes combined with Shula's inexplicable playcalling and a couple dropped balls stalled all of our drives.

 

The protection is bad and has cost us in a lot of games.  Tonight that was not the case.  Cam is in a funk and needs to break out of it.  But I think it may be too late for our season. 

[top dawg]

This is not about Brees or Rodgers.  Rodgers has had better lines, and Brees is on Sports Science.   Put them behind this line, and their efficiency decreases as well.

 

 

Anyway...getting the ball down is something Cam really needs to work on.  Perhaps the trash cans need to be brought out again.  Dorsey or whoever needs to come up with something.

And we are about to pay this guy a big contract for about 5 + years.

[CelibatePimp]

He has been throwing the ball too high for his whole NFL career.  When is it going to stop?  If there is one thing that Cam desperately needs to work on, it is getting the ball down to earth.  Otherwise we just need to get a bunch of 6'3"+ giants with hops.  Where is Stephen Hill? How about Da'Rick Rogers?

And even beyond that, he has yet to learn when to fire it and when to throw with touch. Also his flat balls! It's like he is regressing so fast I cannot understand what and where things went wrong.

[WhoAmI?]

Stop the excuses. It's not just when he's pressured, he does it when there is nobody around him too. He will always be what he is, a QB who throws some good balls, but for the most part, will always be errant and inconsistent.

[Evodion]

Cam has shown he can do it, but he's inconsistent. The O-line sucks, but even when cam has had time he has thrown way to high.

[Snake]

Excuses, Rodgers has never had anything better than an average line, and usually not even that.

LOL you think this line is average. Now that's a good one.

[TheRed]

He's mentally challenged. He's grown man with a 13 year old's brain.

Bro....

Ugh.

[TheMaulClaw]

Maybe we should trade the bronze calf of Atlanta for two firsts and two 2's to Oakland and actually fix our team.

[WhoAmI?]

This is exactly why I keep telling you people that I would rather release Cam than pay him what he's asking for. You can't be that inconsistent in your throwing and expect to get paid like a good QB. If we pay him that mega contract, expect losing seasons for 6 years.

You have to understand the effect of constant pressure here, though.

 

One, a quarterback starts feeling pressure whether it's actually there or not.  Newton's done that a lot tonight.

 

Two, never having time to throw screws with his mechanics by reinforcing bad habits,  It effectively nullifies all the efforts you've made to coach those things out of him.

 

Playing for years behind a lousy line pretty much destroyed David Carr.  And while I wouldn't say Newton is ruined just yet, you can easily tell it's affecting him. 

 

Seriously bad sign

[WOW!!]

Brees just threw a perfect pass with a lineman right against his torso.

Stop the excuses.

His Wr was wide fuging open.

[tondi]

I think Cam is getting rattled.  Sure he's been erratic tonight but overall he's not been bad this season when he has gotten comfortable in the pocket which unfortunately hasn't been as often as we would like.

[WOW!!]

Maybe we should trade the bronze calf of Atlanta for two firsts and two 2's to Oakland and actually fix our team.

Kys please
