Is Cam the worst QB on the roster?

[IGSaint]

You  know a decent O coordinator might start the game with plays that Cam is best at. Start a game with a throw once a decade. Simple screens or an end around. One of the problems with "Cam" starting slow is it seems every series in the 1st half gets to 3 and long 75% of the time. Run, run, 3rd and long is not a recipe for Cam starting quickly. 

I've thought this many times. Why doesn't Shula start the game by having Cam make some throws he's excellent at just so that he gets in a rhythm. Maybe a 10 yarder towards the sideline. Cam gets into a rhythm and then you have him start to sling it down the field. We have an O coordinator that does not know how to play to the strengths of his QB.

QB's are supposed to be able to make all the throws.  What the D is presenting many times dictates what the O calls.

there's not a throw on the field that Cam can't make.

You should make people pay 100 bucks for there first time posting,

and under 500 posts should have to pay 10 bucks per post.....

seriously pre season nobody shows anything

Don't bother, he's just fishing.

[juliosantos]

shulas play calling and drops

then the OC should be able to call any play at any time, right?

In theroy that's true. But there is also some truth in the view point of calling more high percentage passes at the beginning of games when everyones a little tight, just so your qb and offense can get into a rhythm more smoothly.

.....this will not end well. 

this did not start well

Here's my crazy theory on why Cam is always slow to start in games, but gets into gear by his third series...

It's the shoes. 

Cam always comes out and does his warm ups in his fancy Underarmor cleats. Let's face it, they make a big deal about showing them off before the game, and it is good advertising. League rules require him to change the cleats before the game starts, so it's go back to the locker room, slap on the Nikes, get taped up and get out there.

So he has gotten warmed up and acclimated to the Underarmor cleats, then goes back in and switches to a different brand with different characteristics. Athletes are really particular about their shoes, the fit, the breaking them in... and he goes out and prepares with one, then plays in the others. It probably takes him three series on the field to get the feel of them and get situated again.

Just to show off some special shoes and pick up some advertising dollars. Could this showboating actually be hurting the team a bit? Love the guy and can't wait to see him play, but if this is the problem, he needs to get his priorities straight.

After his rookie season I learned not to doubt Cam based on his preseason performance. The offense is running basic plays, and our coaches don't show the read option or hurry up. He will be fine once the games count like he always is.

You're right about one thing..  It was crazy
