Okay, now this is absolute fire

There's no pass rush this time of year obviously, but Cam is sticking to the new throwing motion for now.  If he keeps it up, I guarantee his accuracy will improve greatly.  Tighter, compact delivery and stepping into the throws is going to make a huge difference.  The test will be if he reverts back to his old habits when people are flying all around him in live action.

Footwork.... 

Yup, the back foot-slingshot/catapult throw is seemingly gone.  Again, we will see what happens when he's got guys with their ears pinned back coming at him.  I'm pleased with his willingness to adapt a new style this late in his career.  I went back and looked at Cam's highlight film from last year and the throwing motion is noticeably different from this video...even before the shoulder problem. 

Check out how he stands almost perpendicular to the target now versus nearly parallel before.  Before he would drop his throwing shoulder, arch back release while pushing off the back foot simultaneously to generate power for the throw.   Kinda like quickly pulling back and releasing a sling shot.   The catapult motion came after the shoulder injury and he was reaching back further to try to compensate for the loss of power, without success (due to the pain) and ultimately just put more air under the ball which lead to the increased picks.

Now he does the "small c" motion, which is the desired throwing motion for QBs.  Not only that, but he's following though with the throw (on the front foot) which helps with accuracy AND provides a smaller target for pass rushers on those notorious late hits Cam receives.

Looks like Cam Newton’s annual pass catching week is happening in California this year instead of Baltimore - spotted DJ Moore, Elijah Holyfield, Christian McCaffrey and Jarius Wright catching some passes from the QB, who seemed as if he was throwing freely.
