MMQB Cam should be more like Brees

[fieryprophet]

A somehwat reasonable article that seems to fail to consider the significant strides he's made during the course of this season... e.g. he used an interception thrown during the Seattle game as an example.  No one here would deny that Cam can improve his accuracy and consistency (both things that he's made big improvements on this year), but saying that he needs to be like Drew Brees is inaccurate.  Saying that he needs to continue the same skills that Brees has developed is a much better way of putting it. 

 

Cam didn't throw an interception against Seattle. That pass he used as an example of a bad throw hit Olsen in the chest, he just dropped it. It was actually a mind-boggling throw.

yeah whaddayaknow...ole' Peter King's shiny new website only took a few months to run that fugged up out-of-context quote again.

Gotta Love The Media, and their various takes. 

 

When Andrew Luck's Teammates Deliver, "they finally stepped up and helped him". It's never Luck (or other QB's) issue. They're isolated from it.

 

However, when Cam's teammates finally step up, "Cam is now maturing and realizing he doesn't have to do everything by himself".  Huh? Notice the difference/viewpoints? They put it on Cam; alluding to the fact, that HE WAS HOLDING HIS TEAMMATES BACK, and not vice versa. 

 

You'll know what I mean, if you saw First Take This morning, and seeing the "Cam's maturing", and realizing he doesn't have to do it all by himself card" card being repeatedly played. None of these guys really watch or research/understand the Panthers, based off their discussions. SMH

 

It's always something.

Yeah, I responded in the comments. It's readily apparent he didn't pay much attention to the schematic demands of the Carolina offense or the circumstances surrounding some of our games.

 

damn you dropped the mic on him

I honestly only skimmed that part here at work due to the giant pics, but I remember the throw now.  Edited the BS out of my post.

Lol I just read that comment.  You tore into that ass, good job man.

Hey, we've got the national media writing artilces about why our 3rd year QB is almost as good as a vet and hall of fame QB. 

 

Most of his stuff is cherry picked and even the points me made that were true he tried to make it seem like it was something that the most 3rd year QB's ahve gotton past. 

[teeray]

I could go through and cherry pick still frames and stats, and write this same article about any QB in the league including Brees, Brady, or Peyton.

This is an example of a guy having an idea for his article and then fishing for evidence and examples to bolster his predetermined assumptions.

I could also just as easily cherry pick still frames and stats to show Cam is one of the best passers in the league.

This is serious nonsense and should be taken very lightly IMO

In Brees' first three years, he was 10-17 as a starter, with 30 TDs and 31 INTs.  He had completed 59.4% of his passes for 5613 yards and 6.17 YPA, and rushed for 232 yards.

 

Cam's in his third year, he's 22-22, with 87 TDs and 40 INTs.  He's completed 59% of his passes for 10,536 yards and 7.7 YPA, and he's rushed for 1894 yards.

 

Who needs to emulate who again?

[mwright350]

That guy needs to basically fug off.

 

Brees is good, noone in their right mind would day he's not, but to say that Cam should emulate him is to say that there is only one kind of QB who can be successful in the NFL.  He's launching everyone back into an old debate.  Might as well change the title of that article to "can a mobile QB be successful in the NFL or do they all have to be 100% pocket passers?".  Funny also how none of these articles ever mention the sheer number of records Cam has set...not all having to do with his legs.  Nor do they like to mention how much better he is as a passer now than he was last year and the clear growth there.  Cam has a unique combination of speed, size, and natural ability.  He's now shown the growth that everyone said he had to show.  He'll continue to do that.  And he'll be more and more scary to opposing DCs every year because of it.

 

Maybe someone over there is just mad that Panthers players don't want to respond to questions about Cam's maturity / leadership anymore.

[Darth Biscuit]

Peter King can suck my hairy nuts.

 

[polyphonick2]

people still believe that Cam is only a running qb? M(

[Evengelion]

Didn't know 62% was such a bad thing. Heck we can argue being that Brees is so short he should be a dual threat QB like Russell Wilson. See, I can play that game too.
