Rivera sought of hedged his bet when asked about Cams status.The comment in the header was by the coach when talking about Cams injury.Cam did not practice today due to sore ribs and didn't speak to the media.Went directly in for treatment.Not raising alarm bells cause Cam is a tough S.O.B.Just passing along what was being said after practice today by the media.

I actually don't think Cam is 100 percent. He could be facing a down year compared to his standard. Worse thing we could do is force the issue with his health. If he's not 100 percent I'd rather him sit out then be a target. Besides we have a pretty awesome back up.

If this is not "smoke", RR really needs to think long and hard about playing Cam. TB has some studs on that front seven, I don't like this eriee vibe that's starting to envelope this match- up.

DA is pretty good, and I think the team is capable of winning the first game if he has to play.

 

One thing I've noticed though...you know how people often complain of Cam's high throws?  When DA misses, they often are behind the receiver, and that can lead to interceptions. If the QB is going to miss, it's probably better that he misses high where neither the receiver or the defender can make a play on the ball.

 

As for Cam being in pain today and taking it easy, that shouldn't surprise anyone who's ever had injured ribs. Hopefully he can manage the pain on Sundays until he's better, but he's going to pay the price on Mondays.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      If we divide the league up into quarters you need to be able to make 8 worse starting QBs for him not to be bottom tier. Who are they?

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      It just doesn't add up to what we're watching. It feels like you're trying to convince yourself that Bryce can just make a few adjustments and pan out. You say he turns the ball over because he's over aggressive and I just don't see that. A lot of his turnovers are just bad throws oftentimes because the balls sails in him. The fumble issues? I mean, you have the smallest QB in the NFL getting hit by extremely large powerful kej who knows based on film study that this guy is prone to coughing up the ball. If you're being hit by a much larger, much more powerful man intent on removing the ball from your possession you're gonna lose that battle a decent amount of the time. I think some of it is due to bad footwork but some of it is also that when there's traffic in front of him he has to try to get the ball up and over that pressure due to his lack of height. His release point it just several inches lower than most NFL QBs, no way around it. You saying it's more difficult than simply looking at outcomes while completely leaning on situational stats to try to convince people their eyes are lying to them and Bryce's arm isn't a significantly limiting factor in his game. Some people are hyperbolic about his lack of arm strength but honestly he has one of the weakest arms in the league. That's just reality if you objectively watch him play versus other NFL QBs. If he had time in a clean pocket and can step up into and through his throw he can make most throws but that's the problem, for him to make the tougher throws everything has to go perfect. If there's pressure pushing him off his spot or pressure in front of him where he can't step up or has to try to loft the pass over the scrum it's probably ending in a poor result. The problem is that's a commonplace scenario in the NFL. It wasn't at Alabama. Trust your own QB analytical system. Bryce being very the bottom of the league matches up perfectly with the eye test of just watching him olay

      If he wanted to be as irrelevant as possible in his final year he's achieving it.
