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.

      I used to think Juan was a Zod alt. Agree he's a great poster.

      2026 Charlotte Hornets

      Hawks said nah we good and sent him to the shadow realm aka the Wizards. Cold blooded. I mean they're 2-2 in a series with a young up and coming Knicks team largely through 34 year old CJ McCollum. Even if they ultimately lose the series at least they are there and have something to build on. I think Hornets fans are just beaten down and lack the objectivity to assess the situation. They think we are going to get so much worse if and when we finally change gears. Worse how? We've already been a lottery team for years now. We've already been looking to win our first playoff series in about a quarter century. We already can't get past the play in and in failing to do so we have completely embarrassed ourselves twice looking like we don't even belong. Honestly there is absolutely no excuse for a team like the Magic to be more competitive and successful than us in the playoffs. Absolutely disgusting. But that's just me. I was fuging lit when we got the Hornets back in Charlotte but that is old old news. It's time for these boys to get into a playoff series. Enough is enough. If they can't do it for 2026-27 then they need to make wholesale changes regardless.

      That's it. How do you feel about this draft class.

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      Not one single pick that is asking me why we drafted a guy in the first place. It was a guy we needed and/or a guy that had certain traits making them stand out. Best of all, I feel everyone we drafted are capable of stepping onto the field this year and have a meaningful role (even Kuwatch on special teams). Obviously, nothing is guaranteed but I'm not seeing any huge flags on guys because they're risky projects or massive overreaches.
