Question: Cam back to throwing off back foot

Cam had basically fixed this problem. The claim was that since the protection sucked last year, he was being swarmed and didn't have time to set his feet. No sacks yesterday (some pressures), but seemed to revert back to the bad mechanics again. Is this fixable or not? Is this part of the accuracy problems along with high throws?

He has a cannon arm and can still heave it fifty yards off his back foot, but a day will come when accuracy counts. He is not going to be twenty six forever and will have to rely on passing more then running later in his career.

Did you see Rodgers miss wide ass open throws?

It's just a product of how mobile he is. When he's moving around so much that naturally leads to less time stationary (the position where it's easier to properly set your feet) and when he's moving around and the window opens that he needs to pass the ball sometimes he doesn't have a chance to stop, properly position his feet, and make the pass. I'd rather he keeps what he's doing and throw the pass on time than take the time to stop and set his feet and be late on the throw.

A.R was being chased all day and nobody was open either. Missing passes was due to tight defense and pressure rather then bad mechanics. Apples and oranges. Rogers is a HOF qb that has top notch mechanics. I believe Rogers runs around a great deal also so the mobile aspect should not be a factor.

Panic early.

Panic often.

No panic here...just asking a question and looking for some people with real football coaching experience. So just sweep questions that should be asked under the carpet and hope for the best down the road.

When you're right, you're right.

Cam throwing off of his back foot was the difference between winning and losing in all of our losses so far.

Yeah when we lose a game because Cam couldn't hit his short to intermediate routes, then let's criticize him. Until then, stop acting like a abused pet. 

The staff knows he missed those throws. I assure you they are working with him on it. Cam's passing style is much like Farve's was. Yet Farve racked up the wins and no one criticizes him for his style now. Cam is beginning to rack up wins too and it's time we fans start letting the record do the talking

Yep so much this!

 

That deep ball to Funchess you could tell he got caught looking to take off and him realizing there was no where to run. So instead of taking the sack Cam dropped a dime 50 yards down field. Any other QB in this situation takes the sack but due to Cam's pure arm strength he's able to throw off his back foot like that.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
