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.

      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

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      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.
