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.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By fanpanther · Posted

      the one thing this post has suprised me with is how much support there still is for young.  i dont understand why.  we had qbs before him that went to superbowls that lost support way quicker.  thr only qb we had had that started any number of games that played worse than young is clausen.  allen and moore played better and yet people still support him makes 0 sense to me

      Again, can’t have a serious discussion if constantly wading through hyperbole. And you say that’s not really what was meant, but I tried to at one point get some folks to concede that he was physically capable of throwing a football 20yds just so we could get to a real discussion and they stuck with it. So I’m not sure your characterization is entirely accurate.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      And this is his third year. As far as people not understanding things, I am not sure people accept how difficult it is to remake yourself from the ground up. Which he absolutely has to do to compete successfully at the NFL level.  He takes a step forward with the footwork and a step back when he is stressed and reverts to what always worked for him before. I will say it yet again, anyone that reached a level of success with their self taught technique but needed to rebuild to break through the limitations that imposed, will understand this. I don’t care what specific activity it is the same challenge. Muscle memory and comfort level fight against the new moves you are trying to train yourself to do without thinking.  He is there. There is a ceiling with his technique that is too low for the NFL. He has to retrain himself.  We are in the third year and I guess we are supposed believe that he will be so good  when he finally gets to where the new will be second nature, that we have to wait (how many more years) for him to finish doing it. If he ever finishes.  The sad fact is he will not succeed at the NFL level with his horrible college footwork and compensation moves like the tippy toe drop backs. He just won’t.  If he can’t put that on the table for us, we would be foolish to not seek an alternative plan.
