Cam threw the ball from our 34 to their 10. 16+40 = 56 yards in the air. Taylor threw the ball from the 43 to the 1. 7+49=56. They threw the same air distance. It just didn't make sense for Cam to be out there taking another unnecessary hit.

I'm confused. How did Cam launch from the 34 but Taylor launch from the 43? Shouldn't they have both launched from about the same spot?

No, look at the play again. 1) Cam looked to take a deeper drop and 2) Taylor got to start closer due to a defensive offside or whatever the penalty was so he started 5 yards better. Cam was further behind the line of scrimmage than Taylor was when he threw it. I made this thread while watching the highlights of the game on ESPN.

Argue the hail mary at the end all you like, the real canary in the coal mine for Cam yesterday was underthrowing Curtis Samuel on the deep ball by about 5-7 yards.  That told me all I needed to know (and frankly already suspected) about Cam's arm.

True. The bigger issue is the lack of accuracy on the normal deep ball.

This. The arm strength is still plenty fine. This plays blows stuff way out of proportion. The real issue is on normal deep balls (20+ yards) Cam doesn't have the accuracy he once did. It can come back over time with practice and reps but the issue this season is he is taking a lot of practices off due to health.

No, there was an offsides penalty on Tampa. That’s why we got to throw it again.

      yeah. winter backpacking trips were the most miserable and amazing experiences. same with the coldest and snowiest hunting  experiences. i love being in it. makes for incredible memories. the worse it was, the more i ended up loving it. made the greatest memories.  i just want to get out of it afterwards.

      I forgot about Jackson...definitely elite.  The sad part of your list is that 2 of them were 'there for the taking for the Panthers'.  Rumor has it that Hurney loved Herbert and was vetoed on trying to trade up.  And rumor has it that Frank & McCown wanted Stroud.  I believe both rumors.

      Snow in the high country

      By LinvilleGorge · Posted

      I went on a solo elk hunt in the Flat Tops. It was awesomely miserable. LOL It was a late season hunt, I think third season and it was forecasted to snap off cold with highs in the upper thirties and lows in the single digits. fug it, I'm going anyway. They were wrong. The highs were in the low 20s and the lows were in the negative teens. I shivered so hard the first night I thought my teeth were going to break. It was the only time I've ever been legit concerned that I might be in trouble. Crawled out of my sleeping bag and got a fire started and suffered through the night bundled up next to the fire. I slept the next two nights literally wearing every stitch of clothing I'd brought with Nalgenes full of near boiling water in the bottom of my sleeping bag. That was the only way to have non-frozen water in the morning anyway. There was about a foot of snow on the ground and the melt/freeze crust was almost enough to support your weight but you'd go crashing through just as you went or make your step. It was exhausting travel and every step sounded like a rifle shot. Hunting was basically impossible. I never saw an elk in those four days, only saw 5-6 deer. LOL It was brutal but I loved it. Absolutely beautiful country that is never been to before and haven't been back since. I needed that four day complete break from society fighting for my life against the elements. I'm weird like that.
