Question for everyone here.  Russell Wilson throws at a 66 percent clip, has 14 TDs and 10 INTs.  While Cam throws at a 54 percent clip, and has 20 TDS and 9 ints.  Who would people rather have at this point?

I'll take the 20 touchdowns and 1 less pick.

I see where you are going, but I kinda disagree with it.

Higher completion % keeps your defense on the sideline, and their defense on the field.  It keeps you ahead of the down and distance, and allows you to control the game.

Now don't get me wrong, I'm a big fan of "guys who score points" but you also need to be methodical at times as well.

I tend to blame it on Cam taking deep shots instead of looking for something short. Kelvin giving up on 50% of the balls thrown his way hasn't helped either.

just incase you think he cares

Before I saw this post, I was about to post that same exact thing. Me and Cam think alike

[Wundrbread33]

Well we aren't winning games either.

Seems we suck at things he cares about as well as things he doesn't.

 

 

 

There's my "woe is me" post of the day.

I don't think the percentage is THAT low

Cam says he doesn't care about his completion % even though last season he set a goal to have at least 60%.

I honestly don't think it's that HIGH. The dude is running a wheel route through the middle of the field and calling it a post.

Cam is more than capable of 60%+. He did it in 2013 with a short, dink-and-dunk offense. But that's not his style. We take shots down the field, so he's not going to look like Alex Smith.

[Kakarot]

It's definitely something he's gotta fix. With the way this offense is ran, I can accept his completion % being around 57 - 61 percent. I say it's something he's got to fix, because I know it's something he's highlighted as an area of opportunity before. 

The whole team is trash right now, and just like the team will be better next year, so will Cam.

I'm not disagreeing with you. I just don't buy that he "doesn't care" what his completion % is.
