FFS. This post wasn't an attack on Cam, but a point that tall QBs get batted passes too.

It's on the player, team, and coaches to fix. 

The article you linked said that Cam had eight through three games in 2015, we are on 12 with Mayfield. Not to mention, this was also an issue in Cleveland… it’s not just a Panthers thing. Mayfield had five passes swatted down in his last start for Cleveland against Pittsburgh. So over Mayfield’s last five starts, he’s had 17 passes batted down while playing for two separate teams.

It’s pretty damn obvious that 1) the ball trajectory is too low and 2) his best passes come from when his drop backs are extended.

The problem is that McAdoo likes to get the ball out quick which means all of Mayfield’s drop backs are at the most three step drops. It also doesn’t help that his release has slowed down since he entered the league.

I agree. My central point was height isn't the issue if Newton could have the issue (Osweiler also had it, being 6'6")

It's something else in Mayfield's game (and the offensive handling of him that needs to be addressed.

      You do realize that raw stats don't make someone a better or worse player, right? To begin with, the last time I checked, 1,319 is more yards than 1,258, so T-Mac had more yards (but I'll forgive you as a typo there and say you meant catches lol), but that's before even factoring in that Hunter did his in 13 games vs 12 for T-Mac because Arizona didn't make a bowl game. It's also completely ignoring the team around each player.  If you think Hunter having the 8th place finisher in the Heisman voting at QB isn't going to result in helping his top WRs stats, then you're sticking your head in the sand to purposefully not see it. Hunter's QB had 353 completions for 4,134 yards and 37 TDs vs T-Mac's QB who had 260 completions for 2,958 yards and 18 TDs. But sure, let's rank NFL prospects by their stats and say the guy with more catches and TDs is the better prospect.  So on that note, I now change my mind, T-Mac is no longer the best WR in the draft, it's Nick Nash who had 104 rec, 1,382 yards, and 16 TDs, all numbers better than Hunter's... because that's how this is done, right? As I've said before, if someone wants to like a player better than someone else that's totally fair, but come with real reasons, talk about their play, but to talk about things like stats as your reasoning, when you ignore the obvious and massive flaws in using those stats in that way, just makes you look dumb.

      Nah you don't go out and put up the numbers he did without being able to run routes dude is a football junky so he works on his craft he isn’t THAT much more athletic than other players to just be able to go out and do whatever and succeed at that level
