Cam has been changing his mechanics.


Recommended Posts

So this could be the best news I have heard this offseason. Ian rappaport is reporting Cam has changed his mechanics and delivery.

 While I love Cam he sometimes drives me crazy with his undisciplined mechanics.  If he is healthy and has bought into doing everything, including fixing his mechanics, this year could be outstanding.  Be interesting to see him throw tomorrow.

Maybe Scott Turner is better than Ken Dorsey...? This has been a long time coming—too long. And it’s on the coaching staff, not Cam. Also may have played a part in his shoulder injuries...

I'm always a little leery of supposed throwing mechanics tweaks/overhauls. Generally speaking, when the bullets are flying in live action, guys revert back to the way they've been doing it their entire lives.

But, if you're going to focus on fundamental mechanics, probably no better time than after a long layoff due to injury.

Odd year offseason FTW

Good for Cam, though, and hopefully this new motion sticks and is improved.  Whatever the reason be...coaching, long term success, less pain and torque, hell even seeing a QB drafted ...the Cam news lately is so beautiful. Put up some MVP numbers and get that man a new contract.

Greg Cosell said as much at the Super Bowl last year...he said that Cam is a power thrower and uses just his arm and has never had the best mechanics, but because of the injury, he was going to have to change his motion or his career would be shorter and he would start to have pain in his shoulder again..

First half last year was his most accurate in the whole career, mind you it can always be polished a little more of course.

He only had one game with a completion pct lower than his career average and that was his last. Even when his limited he was completing above his historic trend

    • It's also worth noting that Cam himself said that he felt safer when running vs. sitting in the pocket because he could see the contact coming and could better prepare for it. A QB running the ball doesn't have to be a sledgehammer. He just has to be effective.
    • That Falcons game is about as good as it gets. Especially on the road. I know the Falcons defense was bad but he was cooking with Coker, an undrafted rookie get the bulk of the receptions. If your QB has 5 TDs and 0 turnovers he is playing like a top QB, yardage be damned. The big question for me is how consistently can be play the whole season?  I don’t expect a game like that every week, but I also don’t want to see any performances like the pre benching or that Cowboys game (which was bad post benching). Bryce’s best shot at being the guy is becoming a mini-Burrow who is about as consistent as you can get at the QB position.  The good news is this QB class should be a fun one. So hopefully Bryce becomes the guy, if not it’s a nice class to let DC pick his QB and they should come into a great situation with a good OL, RB, young talented WRs etc…
    • Bryce Young is far less risky with his body when he runs than Richardson and doesn’t take many unnecessary big hits. Was much more worried about injury when he had that abysmal OL his rookie season than I ever would be when he runs/scrambles. 500/10 seems like a fairly reasonable prediction considering he had 250/6 in 12 starts last season. Of course literally anybody CAN get hurt, it’s just that we were assured by many huddlers that it was a sure thing with Bryce Young that he wouldn’t make it to this point in his career without significant injuries.
