Long drop, hopeless scramble, sack

Why does this happen so often? Cam will drop back 5 steps, survey the field, pocket collapses, cam scrambles a bit late hopelessly and losses a chunk of yards.

 

Are receivers taking too long to get open? Is the pocket collapsing too fast? Is Cam dropping back too far and not making decisions quick enough? Does Cam have poor pocket presence (many times he could've taken off earlier for good yardage)?

 

I don't know the reason but I'm sick of watching it. Do quick 3 step drop plays with slants or outs, roll cam to the right, line up out of the shotgun. Do something.

 

This offense is so ugly. Wilson had the exact same problems but the schemes and Wilsons' indidividua play made the difference.

 

And that last set after the Seahawks TD was a disgrace. I don't think Cam managed to get a single pass off. What is he thinking? Everytime at the end of a game I see this from him. Yeah, the oline is junk but let the ball go. Throw an INT. Just try something. Do nothing and lose is cowardice.

He doesn't make his mind up fast enough. He has to make the read, then throw it, run, or get down. He goes from throwing it with accuracy all over the field to looking lost in the read option. I don't think he can process everything. Lord knows Shula doesn't make it easy for him.

He looked good against Cincy which is about the only game he's actually had time to throw this year.

Both in that game and this one, he threw a nice touchdown pass that could have made the difference but simply wasn't brought down.

Leaning on a rookie KB as much as we are could work if we had a real NFL caliber OL.

When Cam decides not to throw the defense races to him. Russel Wilson keeps defenses honest with the threat of the throw, Cam rarely does that. It's frustrating because he's been killing drives with those -10 yard sacks. I don't excuse him from that just because 1 out of 10 times he gets away and makes Sports Center. When Cam was hurt you saw him trust his arm a little more. Depend on his elusiveness a little less.

 

There is one thing I'd like to see Cam develop. You see it in a lot of great QBs. It's that ability to cheat the defense out of some yards. Whether it's the pump fake or the hard count. You don't see Cam make those types of veteran plays. Hopefully he adds that to his game.

Cam does not trust his teammates, it's really that simple. When a QB doesn't believe in his pocket then he's not going to sit in it. If he doesn't believe his wrs are going to be in the right spot then he's not going tho throw with anticipation. His problem is that he tries too much sometimes because he puts it all on himself. He goes out and tries to win the game on every play. He just doesn't have a lot of confidence in the players around him.

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

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Strongly disagree with the premise here. Without getting too into it, the biggest gripe for many has always been his footwork and pocket presence.  Shallow drops, happy feet, bad awareness - his overall technique is highly unconventional and not beneficial to his size/frame.  His upper body gets mad out of sync with his lower, drops back parallel to the LOS, erratic behavior. When you take that to the NFL level, you get swallowed up. And he got shellshocked and started bailing way too soon on plays. Unnecessary throwaways when he should step UP into the pocket and hit.   He got away with it in school because sooo much of his work was out of structure or quick hits to Jamo.  He was able to not bail early and stick in the pocket this last game. He also was dropping deeper than he usually does to create sight lanes. He can’t really outrun DLs so he needs to create that space via drop to survey properly. When he does these bs skip hops in the gun, he barely drops and is flooded. He needs to stay active with his feet but learn to step into the pocket more.  His average arm when he’s not doing this right turns Pennington esque.

      Theilen is about to retire. I dont care about him sticking around. Lets say you did and he retires at the end of the year. Now that connection is gone next year and it's just another excuse for regression that was just held off.

      Short term is the key point. Those first two games without him where pretty bad. They still aren't back to where they were offensively but they are getting better. Hopefully Tet continues to improve and Coker eventually returns - and stays healthy.
