Derek Anderson Throw 5

Thats what kills me about Cam, he tries to stay in the pocket almost too much, use your speed and elusiveness and get outside of the pocket and make a play happen.  I rarely see him throwing outside of the pocket, I guess not his forte?

 

I can only imagine how much he would bait the defense into leaving their man to come try to tackle him if he makes like he is going to run, pulls up before the LOS and throws a touch pass to a wide open receiver.

Cam has always been good despite his poor mechanics (<60% completion percentage every season, throwing too high for 6'5" receivers, inconsistent touch on his passes, and his backfoot being co-MVP last season).  I wouldn't be surprised if he's encouraged to stay in the pocket because he's inconsistent at throwing well on the move.

He needs to watch his tape from 2011 & 2015, combine best of both worlds.

I know a lot of people hate him on this forum, but that's what makes Russell Wilson so dangeous. He knows when to break the pocket, and when he gets outside, there is ALWAYS a defender that leaves his man to try and get Wilson, only for him to lob one to a wide open breaking free receiver. People continue to call it luck, I call it good pocket awarness and using his quickness to beat teams.

My general impression is that Cam can only do the short dumps off well while on the move. Ask him for distance and the ball struggles getting there. That one play last season against the Saints where he barely got it to Olsen on a critical 4th down comes to mind. There was also a play against the Bucs where it was going to be short of Funchess but a defender tried to pick it off. It bounced off his hands and it actually helped the ball arrive on target. I almost think that his large frame actually hurts him trying to throw on the run.

    • To start with, you wouldn’t want to count up that value chart. You would see quickly where that is headed. But you basically did a quantity comparison, while ignoring quality.  I am looking at 2023 as the start, because it became all about Bryce.  2023 you have 4 picks plus DJ Moore for offense vs 2 (80 and 145) for defense.  2024 you got the 1st overall, the 32, the 46 and the 101 for offense vs 72, 157, 200 and 240 for defense. Leave the FA IOL out of it. Which was a crazy big  investment. But it wasn’t draft.  Anyway, that is basically 4 top 100 picks for offense and 4 picks for defense in 2024. Except they were 2 first rounders, the second rounder, and the 4th was really high at 101. Vs 72 and day three stuff. Please….  Second quoted/bolded… See you think we hate Bryce. That isn’t it at all. It is nice easy way to characterize us and discredit our talking points though.   Me, I do mostly hate watching him play. But I don’t hate the person. I hate the hell out of the stanning.  It started with the very first question I asked about his footwork, arm strength, and size. Height being the principle objection. I never even got to the durability factor. There was plenty without factoring that in.  But there was rabid opposition to even asking the question of what a couple of small fractions of a second extra closing time would do for the defenders.  What the extra time it takes to flip the hips would do vs a pass rush or on the other end after the ball is in the air. Split second more for recognition where it is going for the DBs.  The tippy toe backpedal.  That poo was a mess and it has always been mess but no Bryce fan wanted to hear it. “Go get another team to root for”. “It worked in the SEC it will be fine in the NFL you don’t know football you are just a hater”.  It got worse when the real games started. It has never stopped. It is nice that many people have left that train so there is less abuse but it hasn’t stopped.  So whatever… 
    • Whatever school you attended, I don't know and I don't care, but I would suggest demanding a refund.    Something was completely missed there.
    • The draft capital since since 2023 has in no way been pretty even.  Especially when you zero in on day 1 and day 2 draft picks.  Draft capital has vastly gone toward the O over D.
