Oh, additionally, in answer to this question, maybe only one other QB in the league would have had a chance to complete that throw:  Russell Wilson.  POSSIBLY Aaron Rodgers.

Because all of the other QBs in the league would have been sacked on that play.

Or maybe a poor throw.

And even Russell Wilson, may not have completed that throw with the defender in front of him. Cause who knows what the high arch he would have put on it would have done to it's catchabilty (i.e., it would have hung in the air for a long time, or possible fell short)?

Plus (and I'm not trying to be critical of Olsen here), what do most QBs expect receivers to do when a QB is scrambling under pressure?

Come BACK to the ball, right?

Well, Olsen wasn't coming back, he was still moving DOWNfield.  Which is another reason (other than the ones I've mentioned) that the pass was a little short.

But, in the end, GREAT throw, GREAT catch, by two GREAT players.

And "Coming Back To The Ball", has been a periodic Panther Receiver weak point (particularly from his 1st-4th year).  But of course, I have no problem with Olsen in that moment. Cause, as you said, 'He Made The Catch'!!

Glad to see you give Olsen some credit.  There's hope for you yet.  I think the reason Olsen was going away from Cam was to draw the defender to give Cam some room to run.  But the defender peeled off of Olsen so Cam had to pass.

I don't understand how people can call that Cam pass to Olsen on 4th down bad. The level of difficulty and the tension of the situation was so high that any catchable ball thrown in that area should be seen as acceptable and clutch. I feel like any other QB wouldn't get their throws dissected like Cam. It's a fuging shame too because these people can't appreciate the fugging moment. It's all how something better could have been made, just be fugging happy that the play was made at all. Don't embarrass yourself in thinking that other people think the same as you.

Agreed.

Those people who dissect every throw Cam makes are very weird and pathetic. Every throw isn't going to be perfect. No QB throws a perfect pass every time.

You think I'm not happy that play wasn't made?  And by the way a lot of people question Cam's ability on those short throws and touch passes, if you don't think so you're hiding under a rock.  

Cam is clear cut pick for MVP and he's only going to get better once he masters all the throws.

A catchable ball was thrown in a high difficulty situation, I don't care if people want to talk about Cam's short throws history or whatever. He did what he needed to do period. People should just appreciate that instead of being a nitpicking ass.

Dude I've SEEN Brady throw long passes plenty of times.  No it's not the main point of their offense but spare me the bullshit plz.

I've SEEN Matt Ryan throw long passes plenty of times. I've SEEN Teddy Bridgewater throw long passes plenty of times. I've SEEN Alex Smith throw long passes plenty of times. Doesn't mean they're good at it.

Nobody is nitpicking.  You clearly didn't read the thread.  Somebody said Cam has all the throws, I said he didn't...and he doesn't. Doesn't mean I'm getting rid of my Cam jersey so chill the fug out.

How Ravens fans feel about Steve Smith right now...

I don't care what you're doing with Cam's jersey. I was just commenting on that particular 4th down throw as if there was some wrong with it.
