Some honest discussion: Cam's Post-season stats and expectations?

Cam isn't known to have the best stats in the playoffs. http://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/N/NewtCa00/gamelog/post/

He has 5 Touchdowns to 5 Interceptions,

He has 0 rushing Touchdowns.

Part of these stats are against great defenses and the most harshest of competition by virtue of being the playoffs. Not many QB's have great Post-season stats outside of 2 or 3 a year. 

So what I wonder, what are you guys hoping to see from Cam in the Post-season? What kind of plays do you think he does best with against the stiffer competition? We have seen masterful games from him this season and even since 2013 against great defenses in this league.

Cam will surely have to play better with our leaky secondary than his previous playoff efforts if we expect to win against the likes of Seattle, Arizona, and even possibly Minnesota if they catch fire.

Honestly i think it will be much like the regular season has been.  What i mean is every game a different player has come up with a big play to sway things in our favor. Not that cam hasnt been a big part of that..  I Hope it doesn't come down to cam.  If it does he has proven to be ice cold in crunch time so hopefully it carries over.

I expect this to be his best playoff performance. He's improved so much from last year to this year, reading defenses. The style CAR played this year, running heavy is great for the playoffs.

Hopefully we'll be balanced enough with a rested 28 that Cam won't need to bear a heavy burden.  

25 to 28 attempts is ideal with continued focus on slants like we saw against Tampa.  That would limit mistakes considerably on Cam's end.  Go down field on a line read audible to give Cam the control he needs.  

Honestly, his stat line even minus the rushing TDs from Tampa would win most playoff games.

Cam hadn't had a regular season like this one before either, so not sure of your point. Also, when you say 'Cam has to play better', are you saying better than in post season's past? His play has been pretty damn good this year.

Can't make any dumb throws like the TB game, any playoff team will make you pay. 

That tipped ball in TB wasn't dumb.

People like to bring it up. But it was barely tipped, which is why it didn't change the trajectory much.

The defender had very little chance of catching that ball. That was the same type of ball Cam threw to Olsen over JPP in the giants game (and that barely cleared JPP's outstretched club). 

And outside of that throw I just described, what "dumb THROWS" did Cam make; since you said "throws"?

The guy was 21-26 with about 3-4 drops. And he threw the other ball away to the sidelines.

Ya... I've literally given up. The man could be 26-26 and people would b*tch about ball placement if they had to (I've seen it done here before).

He's throwing to a bunch of guys (WR's) that wouldn't even see the field on most teams and still managed to go 21-26! 

It's truly remarkable what Cam has been able to do this year. After you factor in what he has as far as weapons on the outsides go its mind blowing.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By strato · Posted

      Varying degrees all around but it starts at the top. That is where the buck stops. It has been 8 years of stupid, long before Morgan came back. Or Tillis was hired. Made it to the top of stupid mountain in 2023. Stayed in stupid limbo for a while, now we are prepping to scale the next mountain. In this case, I like those guys’ roster building better than what we have had so I am okay with them as our current pawns in the game of Bryce.

      Don't let me gas him up too much, but I hear this and that...... I seen a wide body man with a quick burst, that's able to shed blocks and if extends his long arms its over. He tore up the OL in the senior, you seen about 10 plays and the dog walking OLman. There's other plays of him doing the same, just have to deal with fetus talking over the plays. Plus there's this-  https://x.com/PFF_College/status/2018385471068332410?lang=en     I hope he's ready, cause Id like to see him starting and doing his thang with dbrown, nic, and Phillips.

      I mean there is relevance to that. But I think much of it has to do with the fact that he is clearly likeable. But does that translate to a coach taking his position to the next level like those that have had staying power for many years like Spoelstra? And not for nothing but does how much someone is liked even matter? Across leagues with the Panthers Ron Rivera and Marty Hurney were universally well liked by players. Dave Canales is very well liked. I say you are what your record says. And the record says you got your ass handed to you by a fellow expansion team in the Magic in a game that was over at halftime and that same team went toe to toe with our nemesis who has been handing us L's for over a year now. And if Bam doesn't get his leg swept by LaMelo do we even get past the Heat? Again. It just all boils down to personal standards. I think newer and younger fans will love this. I just want to actually win a real playoff game fam 🤷‍♂️
