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

[beastson]

I've noticed Cam gets too excited when things are rolling our way and he forget the little things and rush them. However when we're losing he's calm and collected and focus more which is why he lead comebacks. That's my analysis. Ron and the coaches has to calm him down. Thats what I see.

Threw for 300 and 3 td on the pack while hanging 37 points.

More worried about our "top tier" defense blowing massive leads than anything else.

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.

 

And...you can't assume they would.

 

I hope I'm not the only one that is getting frustrated with fans who demand we be perfect. Oh wait...we are. 8-0.

 

Damm kids. Get the fug off my lawn.

Did you not see Aaron Rodgers miss a wide open WR in the end zone for the final interception by Thomas Davis?

This is a team sport and its not just a QB and 5 recievers out there. Remember that next time your "worried"

btw, Cam was on point with his passes until it appeared he took a shot to his shoulder. throw didn't look the same afterwards.

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 like how you say the offense could have scored 50 and then in the very next sentence say the team has "very little" margin for error.

[TheRed]

No matter what we accomplish, there's always going to be on of these "Well sure guys, Cam had 4 touchdowns, and over 300 yards, and we won, and we're 8-0. But....." fans. It's sad honestly. We could win the Super Bowl, and there probably would be still be a thread like this somewhere.

The offense is predicated on basically running 15 play perfect drives, primarily on the ground. That's invariably going to lead you to 3rd and long situations, especially when you do dumb bullshit like line Joe Webb up at QB, or the defenses in the second half completely key in against the run and dare you to throw early.

This means it puts the offense in obvious pass situations, which takes away the strength of this team, which is misdirection. 

This is not a difficult concept to understand. 

The Panthers played VERY well in the first half, due in no small part to the Packers defense not knowing what the fug. So yes, even though they could have scored 50, they had very little margin for error, as was evidenced by the end. A bad spot on a third down run? An interception on an out route? These should not be game defining moments when you score 27 points in a half.

Every quarterback has throws and routes that are easy for him and those that are hard.  Cam struggles many times throwing to a spot versus throwing to a receiver.  That really hasn't changed and might never. The way you make it work is designing plays that take advantage of what he does well which lately is throw it deep.  Then on shorter routes throw the seam routes and come backs and slants where he can see the receiver all the way. There is no need for panic or to compare him to all the quarterbacks.  Cam is doing fine at what he does well.  He is also learning and growing so he will only get better. Just sit back and enjoy this time instead of finding things to worry about.

Remember when I stated a couple of years ago that the Huddle/Panther Nation criticized Newton more for the way he threw a TD pass that won us the division crown and a first round bye against the Saints...than there was against Ryan Tannehill who that same week badly lost a game vs. the Jets/Bills that cost the Dolphins a spot in the playoffs.

Remember when I said that there are more threads in Panther land/the Huddle discussing what is wrong with Newton even on good days and wins...than there are on either the Colts/Lions/Bears forum with regards to Luck/Stafford/Cutler on bad days when they lose.

Remember when I said that and people didn't believe me?

Do you believe me now?

People are allowed to criticize bad elements of the team, like Cam's overall accuracy.

If this bothers you, don't read the threads. There are tons of topics where people compete to suck dick the hardest. You'd probably be happier there.

Cam did have a problem with that earlier in his career, but imo has gotten better at the short passes.  Hopefully yesterday was just an aberration.

Dont agree with your analysis or conclusions.  We are pretty good at taking what the defense gives us and keeping the defense off balance like we did in the first half.  We run because it is a strength but also because play action freezes the linebackers and safeties who have to play 8 in the box.  You have to set that up and sometimes fake the end around or reverse even giving up a few plays to set something up later in the game.  We run on first and second down so we dont have 3 and long not the other way around.  We run on first down and second down so we end up in third and manageable so we can play action and throw over the top like we did several times on third down.

And the end was simply what happens when you have a future HOF quarterback scramble and throw in desperation along with a few calls that went their way. Anyone who didnt expect the Packers to make a come back has no clue. We weathered the storm and did what we had to in order to win.
