Some blame can also go to Cam has he had a tendency to hold onto the ball to long in the pocket instead of the check down which he started to use more frequent in the latter portion of his career here. 

Some of that was due to Shula's offensive strategy. He generally chose to counter blitzes by keeping additional blockers in to protect. Those additional blockers are the guys who would generally be the check down options. It was that very tendency that Wade Phillips expertly exploited in the Super Bowl with his blue dog blitzes. He had the talent in the secondary to play straight up man coverage against our subpar WRs and if your guy stayed in to block, you blitzed to nullify the extra blocker and force one on one situations.

Yea I agree Shula offensive philosophy was horrible. Cam's arm talent made up for the lack of imagination in the offense.

This thread starting to remind me of the Jets thread unfortunately...smh

I liked Cam...but once he signed with the Patriots he lost all respect, Smitty(tied for best panther ever, might I add he and Olsen should call our games), didn't even do that

We released him. He signed a contract with a team offering him a contract. How you can hold that against Cam is baffling. I mean, Olsen signed with the Seahawks and there for awhile during his career here they were probably our most heated non-divisional rival. I don't hold that against Greg.

Cam, 89 and Olsen all lost their jobs and went on to find the best one they could get when they left with another team.  
 

where they went to play changes nothing about what they were to us.  None of them forced their way out.

Cam posted right away on Instagram to "not feel sorry for him" but I can't help it.

I loved the excitement and attitude he brought to the franchise and the dude works his ass off.  I hope his career continues, and soon.

 

I can honestly say, in 20 plus years of being at the stadium, there was nothing like the Luke and Cam show on Sundays.  

I’m glad I got to see it. I doubt fans will see the like again

grateful I got to see it for awhile

The Patriots....

He knew Brady was a Buc, that move made sense to hurt us twice, very petty, I liked that type of ish too...

I would have loved for Cam to win a Superbowl with the Steelers but the Patriots... that's all I'm saying...that like if Jordan came back to the Lakers

It sucks seeing a favorite player sign with a team you don't like, but it doesn't really make any sense to hold it against them. They're just trying to further their careers.

Now when players leave and then trash talk the organization, that's another story.

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By strato · Posted

      He made some excellent throws but he always has made some excellent throws here and there. I don't know what to think, which is what I was apprehensive about. Is he going to have a decent downfield game? Because okay Legette dropped one, but someone was giving stats prior to the bye or during it where he had two downfield completions and one of them was the jump ball that is just launched and fingers are crossed that our guy comes down with it, and yesterday we saw that again. The Russell Wilson school of downfield passing.  I don't feel like that is sustainable, but at the same time you have to do Something to make the defense understand they have to defend that downfield throws. Like i said, confused.  I guess I'm going to review the game for myself and look closely at his mechanics and stuff because if he actually fixed that stuff it explains the better throws. And that has been my biggest objection, or what I see as the thing that makes or breaks his chances, that unorthodox dropback and tippy toe action and not having his feet set which limits velocity etc etc.

      Crazy stat

      By Manna · Posted

      The negative Nancy in me (or objective?) says that they had a bye week to prepare for the Chiefs. However, it’s one thing to have a good plan and it’s another to actually execute it. For all the flack he’s received (from me as well), Bryce seemingly has put his head down and worked his tail off and his play is giving me hope. The first 18-game Bryce showed no progression whatsoever. He gets benched, comes back, and has shown steady progress every week he has started. I think I’m starting to see what the Bryce lovers and unconditional defenders were saying all along, and I hope he can show that on a regular basis for the sake of our QB1 position.

      Some Thoughts on Our Remaining Games

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Yeah, we could still very well end up 4-13 with the 2nd pick.   I think LVR has the inside track for 1, with only a JAX team as a team on docket that could be beatable.
