People before: "Cam is such an inaccurate QB. Just look at his completion %"

People now: "Anybody can have a good completion % just checking it down".

It's fair to say that the kind of plays we've been calling do naturally contribute to a higher completion percentage. That's why West Coast quarterbacks always have overinflated completion numbers.

It's equally fair to say ""So what?"

As long as we win, who cares how it happens?

Yes, Cam finally started studying that playbook and devoted himself to being a good QB

Man if he won the MVP, had the number 1 scoring offense, and was within a score of winning the Superbowl all without studying,... ..

I wonder if there's a reason.

Did something change this offseason? :thinking:

Norv is huge obviously but also underrated upgrade was QB coach. Dorsey was terrible and was just another of Cam's "friends" like Anderson and Webb...

Yeah this is a much better start than his MVP campaign, not even close really. Too bad Mahomes is looking like the second coming or everyone would be talking about Cam.

Yeah, but it's meaningless...  Reid is a great coach, and Mahomes looks like a tremendous young talent, but every year it seems like the Chiefs come out the gates quicker than everyone else...  and every year, they fall apart in the end.

Huh??! You don't think having a healthy offseason for the first time since the super bowl year and a good oc are having an affect? Dude didn't score 45 touchdowns in a season because he wasn't applying himself. The glaring, obvious changes are 1) training camp and start of the season health and 2) Norv. Coaching and play calling matter. Just look at our piecemeal olines blocking and wr route running... night and day with norv... that's not a coincidence

Cam has certainly improved his accuracy this year.  Interesting thing I saw in the numbers though.  Last year, drew brees lead starting qb's with 72% completion.  This year, he is at 80%, and 7 other starters are about his leading mark last year.  Cam at 67% is still only 18th in the league among qb's with significant numbers of passes.  Hopefully its just an aberration, but I can't help but wonder if the rules changes have made to hard to play defense.

Cam Newton is inching relatively close to 100 Rushing TDs... he’s at 57.  If he only gets 5 more this season, that would still put him at 62 and only 38 away.

That is insane.  We are watching the best runner from the QB position ever.

    • NFL Pro has the All-22 up already 😄 Going to grab a play or two from each redzone series to put screenshots to. Looks like AT angled his route off to the near pylon rather than the back corner where Bryce was throwing to. I imagine this is something they'll quickly try to figure out with Thielen back from IR. After watching the All-22 again, this was actually a pretty nifty play. I thought it was a TE screen to Tremble because of the way XL charged the DB, but he quickly shed and kept upfield as seen in the second screenshot. This looks like it had multiple layers built into it with AT running the crosser, XL the fade, Tremble to the flat. The progression would call for the play to go to Chuba here as the LB does follow Tremble out into the flat. Ball hits Chuba low and in the hands, but the LB does a good job disrupting the catch.
    • The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.
    • Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad
