Cam's short throw accuracy: Should we be worried?

Recommended Posts

Don't get me wrong watching Cam play and develop has been a blessing to watch but it's a bit unsettling when one play he throws a perfect 50 yd bomb and then misses a simple 5-15 yd pass. In the off season there was a lot of talk about him improving his passing but there have been a decent amount that got away from him this season, is it something to worry about? Or maybe the chemistry with these WRs isn't where it should be?

Yes. 

The panthers could have scored fifty if cam had hit his intermediate routes. 

The offense has very little margin for error due to the way the coaches want to play the game. 

When they're constantly in third and long in the second half, either cam needs to be more accurate or we need to start throwing on earlier downs.

Did you notice that Aaron Rodgers missed some throws too?  You can't always be perfect against NFL defenses.

You can't tell me Rodgers would have missed Olsen on that seam route and Cotchery on that out route if he had the time and space Cam did. Not sayin he should be 100% but hitting those kind of throws would do his near 50% completion percentage some good.

In the first half, Rodgers missed some throws that were that easy.  He caught fire late, but he really struggled early on.

No QB is perfect. As Linville said, Rodgrs missed some unpressured "easy" throws too. Every QB does. Cam doesn't miss many, and makes up for th slightly higher percentage of throws than the Rodgers, Bradys and Breeses do with other attributes they couldn't dream of doing. Imagine seeing Brady front flipping over the Texans DL for a good mental chuckle heh.

As damn big as Cam is, he said he couldn't see Cotch on that route.  He was throwing the route, and misjudged.  That wasn't Cam just missing a target right in front of his face...

Yes indeed.

In fact, I would recommend panic!

    • 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.
    • It's a decent vid with compelling reasons for his opinion. But, my thing is is that you simply can't draft McMillan thinking he is a surefire WR1. There are questions. His 40---rightly or wrongly---will play a part. I'd think that his splits (which will speak more to his game translating to the pros in my mind) are more important.  As much as you're trying to sell us that McMillan is a don't-overthink-it-type-of-player, I wouldn't say that's the case. Workouts will play a part in all of this.  At this point, I like the thought of Tetairoa. That's as much as I can give you right now.
