Gettlemagic: Slicing the fat off the cap with WR salaries.

[Montsta]

I think Cam would probably just like to be able to throw to a legit #1 receiver.

I'm sure Cam would LOVE a Julio Jones or AJ Green or Megatron.

That being said, how many times over the last 3 years have you seen Cam miss a wide open target because he was staring at Steve Smith and forced it?

I've witnessed it personally enough times to at least give it a second thought, and it's happened A LOT.

Maybe it will truly be addition by subtraction. We'll only know when the season is underway, but it's something to consider in an offseason discussion at least.

Yeah he did lock onto Steve Smith some. But let's be completely honest about the situation that he has dealt with at WR since he's been here. His most reliable targets were Steve Smith and Greg Olsen (who obviously isn't even a WR), that stands to reason that sometimes he would lock on Steve Smith. Considering that outside of Smith and Olsen he's had receivers like Legedu Naanee, Louis Murphy, and Armanti Edwards to work with, even Lafell who would show flashes of brilliance would routinely flat out drop passes right in his hands.

Steve Smith is gone, the past is the past. We are in the now, and we desperately need to get a playmaker for our QB.

people keep forgetting cutting smith saved 10 million (cap&real) in 2015 and 12 million in 2016. that will sure help the luke/cam deals.

 

 

my only problem with the new WRs is; no long term answer. thats where where a early(rounds1-3) pick should solve. cloweny and avant should hold the hands king, mcnutt, and draft pick. then do something similar in 2015, sign a vet and draft a early stud.

 

 

smith DID demand cam throw him the ball, in which could have hurt the team. cam has gotten many times better at looking at each passing option, now no 36 year old guy will be face yelling at cam when others catch passes.

I'm looking forward to hearing all these new guy's impressions of being in the flight path of Cam's bunker busters.

Cotchery and Avant are high character guys that are known to be great leaders and mentors. Gettle is going to load up on WRs in the draft.

I've said this so many times I'm surprised I haven't been banned..

For what we want to do on offense, our current WRs fit the bill more than what he had last year. Two safety net guys for Cam, who will be where they are supposed to be and will 99/100 times catch the ball.

I have a feeling we will start seeing the surgeon, smart Cam really come out this season. Pick the defense apart without having to even look at his WR cause he knows where he will be every time, where as last season he had to throw it at his WRs due to their inconsistency rather than a spot the he determined by his reads.

They are going to have to get used to seeing the ball out of Cams arm too...he has a rocket launcher...

If we sign Dickson I'd be especially worried about him and Cams lasers.

Don't think it will be an issue for Cotchery. Played with Big Ben...whose game is a lot like Cam.

[chknwing]

as long as the wr can out jump the db on the sidelines, cam will be successful this season because thats where most of his passes will be

[carolinanimal]

Why do people think Cam is so mentally weak he can't handle anyone yelling at him? How can you be a leader only in the absence of someone else? Cam should and will handle any new #1-#6 wr we have.

Joe Flacco has possibly the biggest rocket launcher of all.  We're talking arguably the strongest arm in the NFL.

They were moves to help us in the long run, not just this season. Even if we do have a drop off in production, the moves were necessary for the long run. But we better get Hardy signed long term to a reasonable contract or I'll be pissed.
