the book is pretty much out on him that to take him out of his rhythm, you go hard and you go high. 

even with a QB like Ben Roethlisberger, who can seemingly absorb like at least one 9/11 attack a game's worth of hits, people aren't intentionally going for his head.

Because Cam runs so much, he technically becomes "a runner" and teams are tee'ing off at his head. 

If he's going to survive, he's going to have to change the way he runs, because the refs aren't protecting him. 

Yesterday's goal line was another great example. Yeah, Cam shouldn't have cadillac'd in, and maybe the defender didn't use the crown of the helmet or whatever excuse the announcers were giving him, but he left his feet. that's the definition of an illegal hit. ref looking right at it, and nothing.

cam is still a dynamic QB if you're not using him in fullback leads or whatever. like i've never once seen a play action rollout. Ever. 

The last sentence is gospel. As much as despise Ryan,the little fugger can  rollout and throw the deep strike with the best of them. I truly believe if Cam can add this dimension to his game he would be even more of a threat.

He has been hit over 800 times in not yet a full 6th year

the protection  for the long vertical routes isn't good enough 

he holds the ball too long

his mastery and shulas of the short to intermediate game not good 

add that up, and unless something in the dynamic changes, he will be done at 30. If he gets that far

i said it before, a new OC is needed to push him. No one pushes him now or challenges him and it shows 

trading or getting decent offensive tackles would help.

HOW TF DID HE MISS GINN ON THE SHORT CROSSING ROUTE. No one was around him that would have most likely resulted in a td

Is this referring to the play where he threw it behind him? If so it's because Cam doesn't trust the o-line and its ability to let him step up/in to throws without getting destroyed. This has always been a problem for Cam with our o-line. It disappeared last year for a brief period but anyone with a brain knew they'd break down again and Cam would revert back.

the o line was decent on that play, he was hurried, yes, but he had enough time to make a <10 yard throw.

Falcon fan here just giving my two cents. I think the league lets Cam take more punishment than normal because of last year. When your team was winning last year they tended to do a lot of showboating, trash talk, dancing, etc. And yesterday when Cam got the first and tossed the ball into Deon's chest then proceeded to point forward, I think stuff like that causes refs and others to see Cam as disrespectful.

Even if they were decent on THAT play, they've been less than on many others and he doesn't trust what's there. I mentioned that last week. Cam doesn't trust the line so he's not trusting himself. He probably doesn't trust the coaching right now either but different story for a different thread.

      Derrick Brown appreciation thread.

      By TD alt · Posted

      Derrick Brown was one player I never called or even suggested was a bust . Dude was young and hadn't even hit his stride. It takes time to learn the position. The thing I appreciated about him is that he kept improving season after season. He got paid and keeps on going like the Energizer Bunny.

      How many teams coddle their QB the way Bryce has been coddled? I have never seen any other team in the NFL EVER baby a QB the way that Bryce has been.  Bryce was named day 1 starter his first year. It was obvious he didnt deserve it. He wasnt ready as evidenced by the worst rookie year in NFL history.  So let's move to year 2. He's named starter again with no competition in TC and is benched 2 games later. We have the ghost of a backup in Dalton who is so bad he can only beat Vegas and let's remember, the only reason he lost his starting job was a car accident, not because Bryce actually beat him out in practice.  And year 3. We sign Dalton again, who already proved he couldn't be depended on to put an even remotely passable performance on the field, and bring back Jack Plummer, who was even worse than last year. It was obvious he was nothing more than a pretend body in an attempt to create an illusion of some type of attempt to find a backup.  Then we start again with garbage play again and Bryce gets benched with a phantom injury, and the ghost of the ghost of Dalton breaks his thumb on the first drive and craps the field all over again. If we had actually made an attempt to find a legitimate QB2, it's possible Bryce doesn't step on the field again. Bryce is not agood QB and if we had any other mediocre QB, our record would be the same or better.  Bryce is not entrenched. He's been placed, protected and sheltered from ever having to face a  real QB competition in TC. Richardson and Levis both were ass and both were benched and eventually replaced.  Do I expect Baker to face competition in camp? Sure. I expect Tampa to find the best QB2 they can at price that fits their cap and resources and system and get him up to speed. If he's better than Baker, and if he's better by a significant margin, that's best for the team. The ultimate goal is a Super Bowl. Bellichek was constantly getting QB2s with the GOAT as his starter. He knew the value and that was realized when Cassell led them to an 11-5 record as a backup.  You and I may think differently than the people that matter but I will say it again. If you're afraid to bring in a capable backup, especially after the debacle of last year. The starting role wasn't earned, it was given, and that's loser mentality.

      I would have done the same thing.  LSU is a much better job than Ole Miss.  Plus the enormous contract and every advantage a college team can offer in terms of recruiting and facilities and tradition etc
