According to PFF ....

[rayzor]

they tried changing what cam does. of course it's going to fail.

 

they tried doing it with jake after he came back from tommy john and made him overthink everything he did.

 

you change the nature of the QB and you risk damaging the product.

 

cam is/was a dynamic, gunslinging, big play guy and they tried making him a game manager.

 

good job rivera and shula.

 

ya done messed up.

No surprise there

[Zod]

Tampa Bay spent high round draft picks on receivers that never seemed to get open or get the ball under Shula.

 

Sound familiar?

The good news is what happens to teams after Shula leaves them.

Not exactly...we don't have high picks on WRs

 

But Shula won't be around to waste the ones we do pick

A perfect example of this in baseball is Dontrell Willis. He was a dominating pitcher that had a quirky, high leg kick in his delivery. He was a great pitcher but "experts" worried the delivery would hurt his career (even though Vida Blue ha a lengthy career with the same type wind up). They started forcing him to change what made him excel and his career went to poo over night.

The point is that if he couldn't get the ball to them, how could he get the ball to our wideouts (who are not high picks)?

Ginn was open for about 3 more TDs if Cam hit em....

 

I'm not a Shula fan but truth is truth.

Cam didn't play well, but winning and losing is infectious.  Unfortunately, this team doesn't know how to win b/c our coaches don't know how to win. 

[skarbar001]

Cam is too streaky as an NFL qb. Can't blame the system when your QB is missing throws left and right.

on the flip side...hardy, edwards, johnson, beason, davis, norman, and moore all pulled negatives grades from pff. 

 

star, short, and mikell were the only ones in the green.

I am not surprised by Bell's performance.  To quote the Panthers best coach ever:  He is what he is.  Bell is/was undrafted for a reason.  He is a solid backup....but not an every day RT.  The Panthers should have given Bell help.  The guy had a bad game, but did they not see he was struggling, and at least put Hartsock in to help or something?  How about quick slants to #89?  How about any play that would help Cam release the ball faster? 

 

RT should have been addressed a few years ago when they knew Otah was not going to work out, but they went cheap and decided to spend money in other areas (RB, LB).

Seattle DB's complimented us on the route combinations we were running - hard to blame the receivers/gameplan when the offensive line is failing so miserably. 

 

Fact is, the game was won until Rivera chickened out on 4th and 1 and put the game in the hands of our below-average and depleted DB corp. 

[jarhead]

All I know is whatever they are trying to do with Cam is not working. He looked like a ***** in church yesterday.
