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.

      Fix Your Franchise: Carolina Panthers

      By fanpanther · Posted

      100% even if rest of team is really talented if they march young out to be qb and he plays like he has for 90% of his starts the panthers have already lost doesnt even matter how good the rest of the team is or isnt and also makes it hard to even tell how good they are.  They need true competition for young this offseason.

      Another renovation to BoA?

      By dave-o · Posted

      It will be awesome to have an improved stadium to lose in I guess....   https://www.yahoo.com/news/panthers-file-rezoning-bank-america-111500840.html     The Carolina Panthers have taken another necessary step toward renovating their home of the present and future. Panthers Stadium, LLC, filed its rezoning site plan with the city of Charlotte on Monday, initiating an important — if mostly technical — step toward renovating Bank of America Stadium. The filings state that the rezoning relates “primarily to technical aspects associated with improvements to Bank of America Stadium,” and that the rezoning is required because “the current stadium zoning is out of date” for the team’s stadium renovation plans.   The planned stadium updates include new seats installed throughout the upper and lower bowls; stadium safety and security enhancements; a reimagined South Lawn Pavilion; upgraded restrooms; exterior enhancements (including LED video boards) and more. Planning for the stadium renovation project will continue through 2025, with construction starting in 2026 and the renovation’s conclusion in 2029, The Observer previously reported.

      In my dream, we somehow luck into a top 2 pick and someone wants a QB bad and doesn’t want anyone else to jump them. Somehow we’ll probably screw up the picks anyway, but it would be nice to do even partially what Chicago did to us. We’d have to lose out, which is a decent possibility unless Tampa is resting. We need Atlanta to stay within a game because Atlanta beat Tampa twice. The rest of the draft slots are who knows because Jax plays the Raiders and then Tennessee and you never know who will rest starters. I think we are top 7 unless we somehow pull out 2 more wins. The 4 win teams have higher SOS and there is only one 5 win team with the same SOS. If we win 1 of 3, we still should stay in top 7. If we lose out and the Jax games work for us, we can easily be top 3.
