Other. Translated to All of the Above. It's all working together for him & I don't think he's had this much fun since his rookie year. It's all working, he fully understands it all, & I don't think his confidence in himself, his line, or his team has ever been higher. There's no quit, you can see it in his eyes. He embodies the Keep Pounding mantra better than anyone.

He's going through his progressions so much more efficiently now (partly due to the OL improvement).  But I felt like he sometimes locked on to a guy too much his first few seasons or would try to make too much happen at times, I can already think of multiple occasions this year where Cam has checked down to like an RB or Dickson this year and it ended up being a very positive play for us.  That's the biggest improvement I've seen in him.

Yeah, but watching practice you could always see Cam make the right decisions.  In the game he didn't because it seemed like on multiple occasions someone on the Oline would do something horrible.  He was always under pressure and it seems like everything suffered.  His mechanics, his decision making, etc.. He was getting pressure right up the middle and from the outside. 

When the protection improved, you could see Cam's play pickup even last year.   I don't see any difference between last 4 game last year Cam and first four games this year Cam.  With a pocket we have seen Cam buy time in the pocket by climbing,  make accurate passes with touch,  making good decisions.   I think if our Oline would have been better all along then Cam would have "improved' much earlier.

I was going to put something else here too. In the 'other' option, trust should be one. He learned to trust his players more and realized that he doesn't have to do everything himself. He trust his players more, he trust his line to give him time, he trusts his wide outs to get open or catch that ball more. He also trusts in his legs more and uses them when needed. Trust is a huge factor in his development.

While I agree the o-line has helped him a lot, it does appear that Cam has naturally progressed to a stronger command of the offense. As much grief as we give him, this is why Shula is the OC. Consistency is so important with young players, especially QBs.

However, I think Cam is ready to move on to the next level. He anticipates and throws receivers open now with much better accuracy. Now, he needs weapons. I mean real WRs with speed that run good routes, create separation and catch with authority (attacking the ball instead of passively awaiting its arrival). But to be fair, this receiving corp has been getting better each week. Hopefully they're ready for their biggest challenge of the season with Seattle.

It's already been touched on but his adjustments when he gets to the LOS are really paying off. These guys watch film all week and and the know what to expect when the defense shows certain schemes. Cam is much smarter than the QB that was criticized for only looking at the sidelines at Auburn to get the play.
