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.

      Passing Stats

      Can we go back to square one for a minute and remember what we paid for this guy and how he was sold?  He was like, the anti excuse. Makes everybody better, Did we get that?  I think the answer is still coming but so far you might can say that for a game or two.  Cam had issues with personnel every season almost. Horrible OL, but he had receivers. Decent to good OL no receivers. Etc. Bryce needs to stand up, or keep standing up, however you want to put it. It is big boy time in year 3. He doesn’t have to make the playoffs but there is a standard. We’ll see what happens.  But the excuses are just fuging tired.  ps, I mean let’s not crown him when he has franchise record production in two wins,.. let’s see when they stop that, how he does then.

      Where do you draw line top3 or top 5 money then? I wish he goes for a "hometown" deal and doesn't try and reset market but it's going to be tough to argue not paying him BIG MONEY if he continues do be a stabilizing force on the left side of line. DM got some tough decisions to make at the OT position coming up.

      I feel like if we keep playing like we are we can play with anyone. These teams ain't world beaters.
