Question: Cam back to throwing off back foot

Cam had basically fixed this problem. The claim was that since the protection sucked last year, he was being swarmed and didn't have time to set his feet. No sacks yesterday (some pressures), but seemed to revert back to the bad mechanics again. Is this fixable or not? Is this part of the accuracy problems along with high throws?

He has a cannon arm and can still heave it fifty yards off his back foot, but a day will come when accuracy counts. He is not going to be twenty six forever and will have to rely on passing more then running later in his career.

Did you see Rodgers miss wide ass open throws?

It's just a product of how mobile he is. When he's moving around so much that naturally leads to less time stationary (the position where it's easier to properly set your feet) and when he's moving around and the window opens that he needs to pass the ball sometimes he doesn't have a chance to stop, properly position his feet, and make the pass. I'd rather he keeps what he's doing and throw the pass on time than take the time to stop and set his feet and be late on the throw.

A.R was being chased all day and nobody was open either. Missing passes was due to tight defense and pressure rather then bad mechanics. Apples and oranges. Rogers is a HOF qb that has top notch mechanics. I believe Rogers runs around a great deal also so the mobile aspect should not be a factor.

Panic early.

Panic often.

(P.S. 8-0)

No panic here...just asking a question and looking for some people with real football coaching experience. So just sweep questions that should be asked under the carpet and hope for the best down the road.

When you're right, you're right.

Cam throwing off of his back foot was the difference between winning and losing in all of our losses so far.

Yeah when we lose a game because Cam couldn't hit his short to intermediate routes, then let's criticize him. Until then, stop acting like a abused pet. 

The staff knows he missed those throws. I assure you they are working with him on it. Cam's passing style is much like Farve's was. Yet Farve racked up the wins and no one criticizes him for his style now. Cam is beginning to rack up wins too and it's time we fans start letting the record do the talking

Yep so much this!

 

That deep ball to Funchess you could tell he got caught looking to take off and him realizing there was no where to run. So instead of taking the sack Cam dropped a dime 50 yards down field. Any other QB in this situation takes the sack but due to Cam's pure arm strength he's able to throw off his back foot like that.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
