I don't know if you noticed, but he was far more accurate on the short passes than deep so far.

He's barely attempted deep passes. And most of them have been to Kelvin and Funchess, put Byrd out there and let him go to work.

3 out his 4 picks have been on passes under 15 yards

That's more on decision making rather than accuracy. Cam not having the reps obviously affected him.

And deep ball issues (which 5 attempts isn't a large enough sample size) has to do with personal. And its just not the picks, his screen passes are never sharp or on time

Cam only has 5 attempts of passes more than 40 yards this year (from what I've counted), I think Alex Smith has more than. He's not a dink and dunk QB

 

They need to let him throw deep and make him run 10 or more times next week. 

Our coaching staff is ill equipped to handle talent...

    So...Cam is having trouble throwing the ball. Let's make him throw it farther, and more often. Then. Let's run him more. 

 

    Sound strategy. (That's sarcasm for you folks who are taking everything so cereally right now.)

I think that's the million dollar question.

Cam is a playmaker, if we want to go dink and dunk (which it looks like we do) then we might be better off with a Sam Bradford.

This isn't a knock on Cam this just isn't his style, this would be like asking Tom Brady to become a running QB. 

Cam wants to make plays and Cam likes to take his shots. By sticking him in this type of offense he could feel like he's being bottled up. Cam is someone who needs to get into a rhythm when it comes to throwing, this offense prevents him from ever being able to find that rhythm. It's like asking a jump shooter knock down a shot late in the 4th after not touching the ball all night. 

Then add in the fact that he gets hit every time he drops back and things become impossible. As long as Kalil is our LT, dink and dunk might be our only option because Cam just doesn't have the time to take shots downfield.

Cam's having trouble throwing the ball, on dink and dunk passes....

 

Are you okay with the offense you are seeing on the field? At least throwing it deep can give us a chance to score and Cam running it would keep the opposing D honest

    I'm sorry, but I don't buy it. We have a QB that is obviously not 100% healthy. And you want to add more on his plate? Nope, I don't like it.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      By CRA · Posted

      Sure, but I have long acknowledged he got better.  He went from horrific to mid-lower end starter.  But now you can’t say that…..you got people wanting to spin top 10 play if you look at it this way, great deep ball passer if you only acknowledge x.   I mean the headline in that article is nice for fans to run with.   But in reality Bryce Young was not the best deep passer in week 12.  Far from it.  He went 2 of 7 with no TDs deep.  The week was full of guy who went something along the lines of 3 of 4 with a bomb TD.   So Bryce then gets appointed best deep passer for say….plays like a 50/50 jump ball while trailing late to a fully covered AT that goes incomplete but could have been something given how the defender played it….not an actual good play.  But that could have been a good play.  I mean, same play could have been a pick if everything else was the same and the defender who had AT blanketed played the ball better (nothing changes for Bryce in terms of what he did.  It’s just a 50/50ish ball to someone covered)….and his entire best deep passer week 12 is built off plays that never happened over guys that actually got it done.   we should be happy Bryce with from shouldn’t of been drafted play to serviceable starter last year.  But all this spin that he is somehow actually sneaky great just ain’t something I’m doing yet

      Why are they trading for more wide receivers?  They already have Mingo on the roster.

      Tomlins track record with wide receivers is bar none.  If he is done with you that is a sign.
