Y’all should go back and read that first drive and the comments on here about how good the offense looked. Cam started out perfect and then DJ fumbled. Offense got off track after that. But his numbers could have looked a hell of a lot better if we threw the ball more in the red zone. That’s not on Cam. He still marched the team down the field throwing the ball on both scoring drives. 

wouldn't say he was exactly humming it on either drive.

To be fair Curtis was doubled for most of the game. 

I meant that one overthrow for the momentum shift. Would’ve put us in their territory with a chance to take the lead. Just had to make that throw.

He says the passes have a little less zip and a little more touch.  People have been wanting that out of Cam for years, so maybe its a good thing.  Game one I think its reasonable to assume the absence of deep passes was a combo of rust and trying to mitigate Donald.  Hopefully tonight we see some downfield passes.

Are they saying this as a bad thing? The knock on Cam in the past has been him throwing the ball too hard for the receivers to catch. The media will be talking and speculating about Cam's shoulder for the entire season regardless of how good he performs.

Situationally Cam needed to make that throw to Curtis in the game. That was a momentum breaker. He’ll be better in the future. He’s proven it.

It was disheartening to see, no doubt.

All we can do is take Cam at his word. He's got to play better from here on out, and we also have to treat drives more importantly. Including not turning the ball over. We also pissed away many drives early on against the Rams with just slogging predictable calls on 2nd downs which put the offense in tough 3rd downs.

The offense needs a solid bounce back game. Let's hope Norv, and Cam can deliver.

Yeah it’s not all on Cam. Team-wise we did horrible with turnovers in crucial situations but Cam’s the franchise, gotta make that throw no matter what to make up for it. I’m not worried. QBs miss, QBs miss a lot week 1. It happens. He’ll be fine.

It's great if it's by choice. Throwing with touch and accuracy on his short and intermediate routes.

It's bad if it's because he is forced to. Doesn't have the fastball when he needs it and can't air it out deep.

lmao cam is out there throwing blimps and defenders are falling all over themselves to be like "oh wow look at that touch."

he's chad pennington after two SLAP tears now, RIP

And the stupid sacks(Cams fake handoff?!? How has that still not been explained yet) that cost us on second down. OL needs to show cohesion today, Cam needs to connect, even if he doesn’t go deep. CMC needs to keep going strong but you are right we need to spell CMC with Scarlett/Bonnafon tonight in less important downs. But most importantly the O needs to chew the clock and convert on third down so the defense isn’t on the field the entire game again. It’ll be dark but it’ll be muggy as fug. 

[Billy Love]

Cam needed to adjust ball velocity based on the situation. He always put way too much zip on the shorter route passes. He’s now throwing more short route passes. Seems to reason Cam’s not throwing with much zip. PLUS Cam is coming off surgery. Wouldn’t it be prudent to work his way in to throwing harder and longer passes as the season progresses?? That would help strengthen the healing shoulder right. WTF  Cam can’t do Sh!t right in some peoples eyes...even when he does what they suggest he should do.

[electro's horse]

cam hasn't completed a pass that traveled over 15 yards in nearly a year 

he's going against the lollipop guild tonight. if he's still jeff garcia'ing it up out there oh lawd

[TheRumGone]

I do agree that if we don’t air it out here tonight something is very wrong. But I think Cam shuts a lot of people up tonight.
