Doubt inside BofA Cam is the future?


Kevin Greene

Recommended Posts

I don't see where I'm wrong in my point of projecting DA in having more success with this offense, considering what DA would do and what Cam is doing right now. If Cam was more focused on his passing skills, he would have way more success than DA could dream of. Like I said, where are my quick routes, five receiver sets? You can't tell me you're satisfied with the read options, designed runs, and fake pump action read options (see last drive against Seattle) at the end of games?

Based off what???

What are you using to make this projection??

One Game against a bad team where we were fully healthy on offense and defense or career numbers? ??

If you're going off the Bucs game I 'll counter with the Detroit game. Where Cam faced a better team with a better Defense or the Cincy game. Which is a better team then the Bucs and the defense completely wet the bed.

Let me ask this question.  If DA was playing this Monday Night (or next Monday night to be technical), how many designed runs would we see?

If DA was playing "Thursday" he would have been sacked more and had more TO. Because his career says he's a worst passer then Cam and doesn't have any escapbilty. Which behind this horribly assembled abomination is a need for a QB.

Hopefully none. Not his strength.

Anderson has only one advantage over Cam I can think of. He makes quicker decisions. Given how long he's been in the league, that shouldn't surprise anyone.

Outside of that though, Anderson makes more 'out there' throws than Newton. He doesn't have Newton's athleticism so the 'dual threat' aspect is lost. And biggest of all, Anderson gets worse as the game goes on. Newton gets better.

I would have to disagree from a gameplan standpoint.  Just from the structure that would be present with DA in there, I say we would have won against the Seahawks and the Saints if DA was in there.  Not saying DA is better, I'm saying the mentality is better from a gameplan standpoint.

I think what would solve our offensive woes is to go in as though Anderson was our starter.  No designed runs.  Just let Cam throw the ball, and throw quick routes.

This team and it's fanbase would fall apart if we got rid of Cam.  He does need to improve though.  He was putting throws on a laser when he couldn't run.  Just needs to find a balance.  Shula needs to also put him in a better position to succeed.  Give him some checkdowns every once in a while.  Let him go no huddle and build a rhythm.

The only rationale I could support for naming Anderson the starter would be keeping Cam from getting killed, and that's not realistic.

Far as audibles go. Audibles are implemented during game-planning during the week. Defenses show similar looks on film, so you can audible out or change to the play you got designed for that look. A lot of QB's dont audible especially when you got a playbook as long as the bible like Sean Payton has. You can't honestly expect me to believe we actually gameplan for defenses and make adjustments. Our gameplan is, Cam  if the DE play the run, keep the ball and take it thats our gameplan

 

Does Shula have any empty backfield 4-5 receiver sets? Any plays to spread defenses out and get it out quick on a 5 yard curl or 4-5 yard out route to the slot receiver? I dont think he does. If he do, he should use it more. One problem is you need speed for those plays, it helps

Not naming him the starter, but treat it as though he was the starter. Let Cam run DA's offense.

We don't have the Oline for that.

Ws can't overpower people with our Oline so we would have no running game and a QB who was a worst passer then Cam.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
