The Steelers have the blueprint on how to utilize Cam

Many, myself included have compared Cam and Ben.

Big guys with a strong arm who can and like to extend plays.

Obviously the wr corp is vastly different and the o line for Pitt ia playing better.

But the super fast wideouts can break from their routes AND get open.

If JR wanta to still emulate the Steelers I suggest starting here will pay off in huge dividends.

Ha basically posted the exact same thing 3 minutes before you posted this in a different thread.

Speed kills.

Was talking about Cam's touch on the ball. It's almost impossible to compare Cam to any QB in this league or that has played before because physically and athletically he's in a league of his own. But if I had to choose one QB I'd pick Big Ben. Reasoning would be his ability to extend plays, he'll also take a bad sack here and there but with playmakers like these two you take the good with the bad.

Watching Ben the last couple of weeks it's hard not to notice the touch he puts on the ball. He's having a great year and can be fun to watch. BUT Pittsburgh has always done an excellent job with providing him with playmakers. From Mike Wallace to Emmanuel Sanders to this years group of Martavias Bryant, Markus Wheaton and Antonio Brown they all have one thing in common, speed. Speed and the ability to separate providing Ben with larger windows to throw into. They also even drafted Dri Archer with Bryant this year who has elite speed as well.

Cam on the other hand has Benjamin, Cotchery and Avant. Benjamin's wingspand provides a different kind of window. However, Cotchery and Avant are just too slow and rarely provide Cam with a large enough window to lob the ball into. I bring this up because it's effecting Cam's touch. Cam is forced to rifle the ball into tight windows due to a lack of separation by WR's. Don't get me wrong, I understand Cam still throws hard when maybe he shouldn't but more times than not he doesn't have a choice. We also have Bersin who is a mini Avant imo and Brown who is more fast than he is quick. On the PS we have Snead and Lucas who aren't burners either.

The lack of speed in this group is puzzling. I don't understand why you wouldn't give your QB atleast one guy that has the ability to turn a 5 yard pass into a 50 yard gain.

I've been saying this for years now...

JR said he wanted to model our franchise after the Steelers... well then fuging do it. You know where you can start? Drafting talented playmakers to surround your franchise QB with. Look at all thd guys they have drafted and developed since Ben has been there... Santonio, Wallace, Sanders, Brown... now Bryant is coming along.

BTW, guess who kept pounding away the "pick Martavis Bryant" drum all through the draft?

That's right. But keep drafting defensive players and D3 linemen guys. That's how perennial winners are built, lol.

Cam has to work on his accuracy to be as good as Big Ben. That no muscle in his body fug has pretty tremendous accuracy. This is coming from a guy who hates the Steelers.

Cam has just as good accuracy provided he is protected. I worry more about his inconsistency than I do his accuracy.

Roethlisberger is in a league of his own at the moment in pure passing in terms of touch and accuracy. Newton just isn't there now. I don't really see the comparison between the two in terms of style. Beyond being big guys.

      Dave Tepper gives Canales and Dan Morgan vote of confidence

      By electro's horse · Posted

      Here comes Frankw and his pathetic little persecution complex to claim I have a personal vendetta against one of the worst performing coaches in the league if anything I should love Canales because he’s walking proof that through the lord all things AREN'T possible.  This kind of performance is exactly what you’d expect from someone who filled the building with misunderstood Bible quotes about iron forging iron and inspired speeches about how he apologized for his infidelity by buying his wife a book deal.  once more into the breech dear friends, just like when I paid a stripper for an above the pants hand job in Orlando.

      Has this game changed feelings about Young?

      By PNW_PantherMan · Posted

      As dumb as it probably sounds, we should have won that game.  Defense was bad but Bryce should have been better.  Pass rush isn't a good enough excuse.

      You and I both know there isn't a coach we could or can still hire that can "fix" Bryce Young. Even at mighty Alabama with one of the best modern coaches in college football history Mac Jones was still a better QB than Bryce Young. Mac Jones.... We already know how you feel about Canales on a personal level so in that regard you wanting him fired is not news. You don't have to disguise it behind this shroud of rabble about not fixing Bryce Young. To his credit he somehow had us competive against the Chiefs and the Eagles on the road with #9. But no coaching staff can overcome their starting QB turning the ball over 4 times. We definitely have developed some of our younger offensive pieces. And as far as Evero goes he has earned criticism and if he's fired so be it but in his defense many of us said in the offseason this defensive roster was a disaster waiting to happen given the resources we spent on the offense while neglecting the defense. That was Dan Morgan's plan. He swung too hard toward offense to salvage the Bryce Young trade. That's on him. We can scream about XL all we want but at least he's actually been on the field for the most part. The Brooks pick was a luxury pick at the time and now it is a Hurney level blunder. Dan Morgan has gotten a lot of early praise here when in reality he's unequivocally deserving of significant criticism. But if you say that some people get up in arms because he's a former Panther. Big whoop. He has just as much to prove this upcoming season as Canales. That's why to me in my own personal opinion I say one more season and then if it's more of the same say goodbye to both.
