Doesn't change logic. It's not all on the QB, and there has never been and will never be a "perfect QB." Receivers still have to make plays sometimes before the catch and definitely after them. 

 

No one should need to watch any other teams to understand that.  

 

As for "overthrows." I maintain that if Cam played with a Julio Jones, a good chunk of those passes landing 3-5 yards in front of his receivers would be catches, lol. 

 

There is no logic when all you see is highlights showing completed passes. They don't put those throws under microscopes

 

Cam, different story

 

But yes this organization failed to put better playmakers around Cam. Not every throw will be perfect, even Manning has struggled some times this year. But dropping passes leading to interceptions can't happen. If you get 2 hands on the ball, you should catch it. Dropped TD's by Kelvin, defenses jumping routes due to poor route running and cause defenses knowing the plays is why we're 3-7-1

I was just thinking the same thing but I worry about him calling plays with our craptastic line

Like his dad before him, Kyle has always built an offensive line or used blocking schemes (like zone and cut blocking) to compensate.

    • 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
