Wow. This throw hurts my shoulder.

[Saca312]

Well..I may be buying into the theory Cam's shoulder was not 100% at the Saints game after this one throw.

Throwing motion looked like a bullet at first...and then...um. The throwing motion doesn't look normal. Put his whole body into the throw and it turned into a floater. Would not be surprised to hear his shoulder was bothering him on that throw.

Yeah. Cam's not healthy.

better quality and speed to really highlight how this ball turned from a dart to a floater.

    I am truly sorry. But, if you are going to critique Cam's throws. Maybe you could use one where he isn't being harassed. Like one in a clean pocket. Then we can pick it apart.

 

    Plus, it was a completion. Are we now to the point where even completions are not up to snuff?

 

    My only complaint with that play, is the fact the ball could have been delivered sooner. Although, that was not his first read. So we have that going for us.

Damn, CMC looks good. As far as Cam's throw, appears to me he tried to put some touch on it last micro second.

That wasn't a critique.

That's me being concerned his shoulder isn't healthy. That was a bullet that turned into a floater. His throwing motion looked painful.

    So now, when Cam does actually put touch on the ball, he must be hurt? After all these years of us wanting Cam to learn to put touch on those shorter throws. That when he does, he is hurt? On a play where he was being harassed? C'mon man.

 

    To me, it looked like at the last minute he saw McC, And just tossed the ball to him. No bullet, no problem. Completions are where it's at. 

 

    Now, if it had been a clean pocket with that throw? I may agree. But man, that is a tough throw to critique. At least in my opinion it was.

Looks more to me like he was going to hit the guy at the ~20, changed his mind mid-motion, and took something off it to find McCaffrey.

Y'all look...   no need to disect throws.  There's no such thing as minor rotator cufff surgery.  His shoulder is an issue.  So are missed reps in practice and all that comes with it.  This isn't going to get better in 2017.

Not related to this post but since you watch film, how often do we run this play?(15:09 if it doesn't start from there). Seems like the kind of thing we'd be doing more of with CMC and Samuel yet I can't recall seeing it

Yeah, he got hit while he was throwing. That tends to impact things.

The two biggest things that tell me his shoulder is bothering him are that 1) he's still limited in practice and 2) I've seen him shake his arm out more than once this season after a throw.

    Same play, 3 different perspectives. @Saca312 sees a bullet that wound up being the duck, you see Cam getting disrupted, and I see Cam seeing CmC at the last minute, and adjusting his throw. Yeah, film will help this crowd figure things out. lol (I guess that is why fans, no matter how experienced, will never truly know what is going on. Cuz in that clip, Cam is the only one that knows what happened.)

 

   The practice thing does bother me. And I truly believe the reason we haven't seen many down the field throws? Cam still isn't comfortable. His confidence level is a tad low. He will look good on a few throws. Like the finish of the 9ers game, or the start of the Bills game. 

 

    I mean, that first drive against the ain'ts, he looked great. Until 3rd and 6, and whack. Everything seemed to snowball from there.

 

    A happy, and healthy, Cam? We are golden Jerry, gold. That just ain't happening right now. But man, this weeks game could set a great tone if we could beat them AGAIN. I mean, other than those pesky SBs, we have their number.

I have no idea what you are seeing here.
