Why has Cam been the worst QB in football on deep passes this year?

[Sam Mills Fan]

He's completed exactly 0 passes that have traveled more than 20 yards in the air this season, good for dead last in the league. 

Why do you think that is? Why has he gone from being Top 3 in deep balls earlier in his career to absolutely dead last this season and I think dead last post-2015?

Because we've hardly thrown any. Stats can swing wildly in small sample sizes.

This can't be true, the TD to Funchess against the Redskins was more than 20 yards in the Air.  

[Sam Mills Fan]

By the way, upon further review, his actual number is 1 for 13. So he did complete 1 this week over 20 yards in the air. The point remains though: he's awful on deep passes and missed an open McCaffrey on the last set of downs that would have won the game on a pass over 20 yards.

Going 1 for 13 is too small of a sample size for you?

Guy named Clark got beat...but you know facts and stuff.

probably a rotator cuff injury.

Having so many injuries on offensive line doesn't help.  It takes time for deep plays to happen.

Tommy Jone ?

[ant2125]

His throwing motion is not the same since his shoulder injury. He  is not the same player since that injury.

When I was watching he had all day to pass most of the last game.

But the truth is he has no more excuses. He has one of the greatest OC's in league history. He has several speedy WR's that can get open deep. He has a solid offensive line that hasn't let him get hit hardly at all. 

If Clark was a solid left tackle, he wouldn't have been sitting on his couch when the football season started.

dj moore barely played the first few games

curtis samuel missed the first 3 games due to a heart condition

greg missed the first 4 games due to a foot

it's a relatively small sample size given the fact we're just getting our play makers back on the field

cam will be top 10 by seasons end.

Curious as to the average age of the newbs on this board.
