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.

      You making fun of or not realizing how important that actually is leads me to believe you don’t have either of those assets and are subconsciously upset about it, or you’ve never been in a position to be a leader and thus you don’t value good leadership which Bryce oozes with.

      I said this last night to family. You can look at Bryce as not a “strong and physical” presence and that’s not going to change on you can look at it, that this guy has the type of skillset that sets him up to only get better for the next 5-7 years every year. He’s not going to know less about the game next year than this year. His timing will be better, his pocket presence better (even though the guy works around a pocket amazingly in my opinion), everything is just going to improve every year and I believed he’s already proved the doubters wrong other than nut huggers on here who just want a big strong man to drool over.

      Are the Panthers a "Trap Game" for the Hawks?

      By MHS831 · Posted

      The Seahawks won an emotional, divisional, overtime rivalry game vs the Rams on a Thursday night (Dec 18).  That gives them 10 days to prepare for the Panthers, but the Christmas holiday fell a week later--I bet they were afforded an extra day for travel-many coming back east.  Following the Panthers, Seattle plays at San Francisco for the division title (in all probability).   The Rams finish the season with games against the Falcons and Cardinals, two likely wins, pushing them to 13-4.  The Niners finish the season with home games against the Bears and Seahawks. Seattle finishes the season with the Panthers on the road and SF in California.   It is easy to see how preparing for the Panthers, during the holiday break and with the Niners waiting for them in SF a week later for (what could be) the NFC West title and #1 Seed in the NFC, could create the perfect trap game scenario.  The Panthers at home are 5-2.   In the past 2 weeks, the Seahawks struggled to beat the Phillip Rivers Colts in Seattle and then pulled off a miraculous, emotional victory at home vs. the Rams.  I am not convinced that they are as good as advertised. Seattle is a TD favorite in Charlotte.  I feel that Carolina by 3 may be more accurate.  While I am still not confident in this team's consistency and it never seems to dominate, it sure feels like a trap game for Seattle to me.  How could they NOT be thinking of San Francisco right now?  They are not used to being in this position (current players) and it is human nature.  Carolina 27, Seattle 24.
