This catch makes me feel at ease.

"Hey Cam. We're getting rid of Smith, LaFell, Ginn and Hixon."

"Oh, and since Gross is retiring we're just gonna swing Bell over to the left side."

"Hey there Cam, how's the ankle rehab coming along? Feeling better? Aw, still not talking to us? We're sorry buddy. Look, we got you a new friend to play with!"

Good to see a Panther's receiver catching his QB high ball like all the receivers on those so called elite teams. To be competitive, you've got to give your team weapons that they can compete with.

 

True. 

 

I love how people (even Panther fans) love to point out Cam's high balls, as if it's something unique to him. 

 

Just watch the Sunday ticket and red zone every weekend, or even the Playoff's. QB's all over the league (elite, good, bad, indifferent) throw high and under thrown balls all the time, but they're caught on the regular, so no one mentions it or cares.

High throws are in the footwork, and a lot of big qbs tend to have questionable footwork. A big running qb is the most dangerous combination because he is using his feet for potentially 2 purposes.  Cam throws high when he is pressured a lot or is in that zone where he thinks he may have to bail.  To correct the problem may lead to more sacks (in my opinion).  However, I think his accuracy issues are documented and not the norm around the NFL.

 

Cam had more bad first halves due to this problem.  He was getting the defense's best during the first half and he was often forcing the issue.  However, since our defense was holding the opposition to three and outs, he was able to get more chances and the opposing defenses started tiring in the fourth quarter--the same problem that afflicted us during RR's first years-our Defense gave out late in games.

 

That is how we won with the 28th ranked offense in the league.  Take away Cam's runs and we really were not effective on the ground or through the air.  I do not blame Cam for this, however, I blame injuries on the offensive line and our pathetic WRs, who struggled to get open and hold onto the ball when they did.

Not sure what you mean by this line (bold). But I don't think Cam is any more in-accurate than most QB's around the league (especially for his tenure). If anything, he may be in the more accurate bunch, throwing to small and not so talented receivers since in the league.

 

You know how many QB's get bailed for their high, short and near off the field passes on the regular every weekend (which gets dropped, tipped, missed or intercepted by Panther receivers)? Doesn't matter why it happens (pressure, footwork, etc.) They throw bad passes on the regular, and their receivers bail them out on the regular This is why I'm sure Gettlemen gutted the entire WR group. They sucked, and did Cam no favors (leaving aside the offensive line, and how Cam had to adjust/make due with the pass rush, and it's effects on his throwing). 

 

Bottome Line: Anyone who watches other teams play on the regular KNOW, that all QB's throw high balls and bad ball numerous times during a game (for a multiplicity of reasons, having to do with the QB, Line, and Receiver). I think Cam is singled out here, quite honestly cause most Huddler's appear dumb, insular and oblivious to what happens in the rest of the league!! 

 

Give Cam protection and better receivers, and watch the magic. He's already demonstrated this, when the line and his receivers (first year) were better.

    • He's not wrong though. You talk like a politician on here. Leaving yourself just enough wiggle room to say you never fully counted Bryce out if you need to....But we can all see it. Just say you think he is a bust outright and you will have to type a lot less. Obfuscating your opinion behind QB3 competitions etc....
    • Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
