Need good slot WR... We do have one, Smitty, but we use him on deep throws. We either need to draft slot WR or move Smitty to slot. Gotta stop ignore position of need year after year.

Smitty should be our #2 not slot.

Never understood why Newton has such a hard time with short passes and why his passes always get tip. I mean he is is 6'6.....weird.

I'm completely speculating, but it could be because of just how big and strong he is.

Sort of like Shaq shooting a free throw, but not nearly as terrible. Cam has gigantic hands and a rocket arm, so when he needs to just loft a pass or put a little bit of touch on a throw he ends up throwing a laser dart that our RB or WR is unable to handle. That or it sails 10 feet over his head.

still funny that people think he should quit running and be just a pocket passer....

Do people actually think that?

some here think he should only run if forced to and referenced how Eli Manning plays the game. That he should play like Eli. They pretty much of implied that since Gettlemen is a dinosaur used to traditional play (his preference) that Gettlemen will be our HC and OC this year and have Cam follow Eli Manning's style.

I say Cam will keep on being Cam. They think a comment by old man Gettlemen suddenly means everything we know about Cam and his history of success if irrelevent when discussing his play going forward.

      I think what he is saying is that we went from mediocre to joke status--a virtual bottom feeder. Sure, we've never been a top tier team on a consistent basis, but we went to the Bowl twice (under JR). Tepper made some bad decisions, but, perhaps unlike others, I absolutely know that it takes time to figure things out, and it has to be super difficult to be a "boss" in one business, and then going through the process and realizing that you are a virtual greenhorn in another.  At least we seem to be headed in the right direction. We'll see come this fall.

      [The Athletic] ‘Loyal to whom?’ A coaching exit can trigger a player exodus, but two desert stars took a different path

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      It was a combination of Fifita regressing this year and losing the coaching staff we had in 23, now how much was his regression also directly due to the staff change or were they separate issues that then compounded each other, who knows. Part of it was also that the new staff wasn't able to replace Jacob Cowing, who was a 4th round pick by the 49ers last year and in 23 tied T-Mac for I think it was 9th in the nation in catches with 90, or our TE Tanner McLachlan who was a 6th round pick by the Bengals. Without that 2nd and 3rd legitimate receiving threat (plus, it didn't help that our running game was hurt because the Arizona RB who got drafted this year only played the first game of the season then eligibility questions popped up and he was out the rest of the season) our entire offense was built around T-Mac and it made game planning for opposing defenses very simple, throw everything and the kitchen sink at T-Mac and force Arizona to beat you through other players, which we couldn't do. It didn't stop T-Mac from still putting up elite stats, but it severely hurt our team's offensive success, and thus, how Fifita looked. I also made a long post in the main 40+ page T-Mac selection thread last night that touched on his summer injury and how it MIGHT have affected him this past season, as well as some of the Fifita and coaching change stuff if you want to go look at that one.  I never brought the injury up in all the draft discussions because I didn't want to look like I was making excuses for him, but I do think it somewhat affected him at times this year too.
