I have issues.

Issue #1 Cam is still locking on to Kellvin Benjamin

On the long ball to Kelvin Benjamin that was intercepted, Devin Funchess was the better decision. One on one with no safety help, and had a step on his man. Cam never looked his way, however. Not even to look off the safety. Cam looked Kelvin's way from the get go.

Funchess actually does beat his man for a good shot at the TD or possibly a pass interference call.

You can bet your bottom dollar that teams game plan for these tendencies by Cam. If we notice it, they sure as hell notice it. 

 

Issue #2 that play call and design was horrible to begin with. 

It is first and 10 and the best thing we can come up with is send two large slow receivers down field 40 yards? 

Isn't Damiere Byrd and Curtis Samuel or hell even Christian McCaffrey on the field? 

Isn't Cam supposed to be getting rid of the ball quickly? He wasn't sacked on this play, but he was hit, and right on his repaired throwing shoulder. That ain't great.

All of this on a first and 10 while playing with the lead? Fug me. 

If the 49ers were a NFL caliber team, this could have been the difference between a W and a L.

I cant blame Cam for that play. That was a highlight reel interception. Almost as good as the Norman Interception in the end zone against N.O. years ago. Funny thing is...every qb on every team misses/doesn't see/doesn't care about wide open receivers and instead tried to force more difficult passes on occasions.

True.

But some more consistently than others.

The truly great QBs minimize that and spread the ball around.

Might be why Cam had his best year with Kelvin out.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
