Will Cam adjust to a short passing game?

What will it take for this to be something he can excel at. Hopefully the improved Oline will give him the time to be more accurate. Saying that Brady did it during the SB means nothing in the scheme of things. If Cam doesn't get his high throws under control, things may get messy. Opinions please.

I never thought he had trouble overthrowing the short passes. He tends to sail the football more on the downfield passes. But still, hopefully with CmC and Samuel; along with the stanford rb roach; I see our offense evolving and bringing out some brand new plays for Cam. He will adjust if he wants to succeed.

If you go back to 2015, Cam completed 76% of his passes behind the LOS and 64% of his passes that traveled 1-10 yards. Even last year, with Fozzy coming out of the backfield, he caught 25 of 33 attempts.

Yeah, I think Cam can adjust to the shorter passing game. This doesn't mean we're going to stop attacking down the field, hopefully it just means that we aren't so damn predictable with nearly every passing play consisting of keeping additional blockers in to help protect and then three guys running slow developing downfield routes. That's not a recipe for consistent success.

Last year I remember somebody posting how Cam is deadly when the ball gets out of his hands quick

If he got time, our guys get separation, I think we're going to be fine.

Some times he gets it out too quick and rocket arms it in a short yardage situation.

Cam has shown pinpoint accuracy in the quick passing game, especially the hurry up.

As long as our OL can keep him clean, Cam will be fine. He's the least of our worries at this point. We're still hinging our season that Matt Kalil will become a legit LT.

    • Me and you clearly have different definitions of production. If you remove the 2023 season where Thielen had just over 1k yards he is 43rd on our all time receivers list just ahead of Jonathan Mingo. And before you ask why would we remove that season? Well a couple reasons. For one thing we won a whopping 2 games. And for the biggest. Thielen was 14th in targets in 2023. We absolutely force fed him the ball all season and finished with the 32nd passing offense. For comparison sake 33 year old Jerricho Cotchery eclipsed over 1k total yards in just 2 more games and with 67 less targets than Thielen did in that 2023 season. He has above average hands. That's it. We overpaid him because we were desperate and overvalued him. That's the reality no matter how many times you or anyone else wants to quote me and get defensive about it.
    • He's played great and it was a win-win (rare free agent) for both parties.  One of the points is he hasn't made enough difference to "waste" 35 million on. Another point is by the time Panthers are hitting their prime, he would have taken snaps away from young WRs/TEs/RBs. "Thus" in the long term, hurting the teams new future "window."  But I dare think of the monkey poo of a offense the Panthers had without him the past 2 years. Lack of talent leads to many problems, including paying a 35 year old to be somewhat respectable. Hes one of few that cared enough and made a effort. Plus you know he's done great stuff in many other ways for the team, community juggernaut, leadership, etc.  Judgement is for AT and his 3 year panther career!!
    • But it has gotten a little wacky. RBs-https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/contracts/_/position/rb     A couple months ago iggles made Bark the highest guaranteed RB, jeanty was until then. That's what matters the guarantee. A rookie never played a down was the leader, until iggles howie made things right.  If a safety gets drafted in the top 8 or so, he would have the highest money too or very close to it.    Add in TEs and C too.    Even with the fixed %, the numbers are getting too much for a player that's not proven themselves.     Plus anytime a QB is drafted it screws up the contracts for players around and if next year a punter gets drafted at the same 90th spot, they want the same contract with the 5.7% increase. Teams would be laughing.    Its just reached this point. Another 10 years and I bet the vets will be crying.
