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

[firefox1234]

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.

I'm not sure worrying is going to accomplish anything. It's who he is. Fortunately he has some other really great aspects that bring wins to the team.

I don't think so. He can hit those throws. The funch td and Olsen td were intermediate. I know he missed ginn on a slant and threw a pic to ginn, but honestly he can get better and make a few adjustments.

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.

I've noticed that he seems to be falling back into his bad habits with mechanics.

Maybe that's just going to be what we can expect long term. Doesn't matter. He's good enough for me even with a few ugly throws.

Fortunately not many of those bad throws lead to picks but that GB game would have been a lot more comfortable if he had scored.

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!

[WOW!!]

I think it's the fake on the Read option that sometimes effect shorter to medium passes... But he does other things to cover up plus having Funch and KB will help when they are on the field,,,

No.  Next thread?
