Wow. This throw hurts my shoulder.

Well..I may be buying into the theory Cam's shoulder was not 100% at the Saints game after this one throw.

Throwing motion looked like a bullet at first...and then...um. The throwing motion doesn't look normal. Put his whole body into the throw and it turned into a floater. Would not be surprised to hear his shoulder was bothering him on that throw.

Yeah. Cam's not healthy.

    I am truly sorry. But, if you are going to critique Cam's throws. Maybe you could use one where he isn't being harassed. Like one in a clean pocket. Then we can pick it apart.

 

    Plus, it was a completion. Are we now to the point where even completions are not up to snuff?

 

    My only complaint with that play, is the fact the ball could have been delivered sooner. Although, that was not his first read. So we have that going for us.

That wasn't a critique.

That's me being concerned his shoulder isn't healthy. That was a bullet that turned into a floater. His throwing motion looked painful.

    So now, when Cam does actually put touch on the ball, he must be hurt? After all these years of us wanting Cam to learn to put touch on those shorter throws. That when he does, he is hurt? On a play where he was being harassed? C'mon man.

 

    To me, it looked like at the last minute he saw McC, And just tossed the ball to him. No bullet, no problem. Completions are where it's at. 

 

    Now, if it had been a clean pocket with that throw? I may agree. But man, that is a tough throw to critique. At least in my opinion it was.

Yeah, he got hit while he was throwing. That tends to impact things.

The two biggest things that tell me his shoulder is bothering him are that 1) he's still limited in practice and 2) I've seen him shake his arm out more than once this season after a throw.

    Same play, 3 different perspectives. @Saca312 sees a bullet that wound up being the duck, you see Cam getting disrupted, and I see Cam seeing CmC at the last minute, and adjusting his throw. Yeah, film will help this crowd figure things out. lol (I guess that is why fans, no matter how experienced, will never truly know what is going on. Cuz in that clip, Cam is the only one that knows what happened.)

 

   The practice thing does bother me. And I truly believe the reason we haven't seen many down the field throws? Cam still isn't comfortable. His confidence level is a tad low. He will look good on a few throws. Like the finish of the 9ers game, or the start of the Bills game. 

 

    I mean, that first drive against the ain'ts, he looked great. Until 3rd and 6, and whack. Everything seemed to snowball from there.

 

    A happy, and healthy, Cam? We are golden Jerry, gold. That just ain't happening right now. But man, this weeks game could set a great tone if we could beat them AGAIN. I mean, other than those pesky SBs, we have their number.

    • excellent points and insights.  I agree on Tepper.  I guess I worry that his questions and comments might influence the thinking of his employees, that his presence in the room might add pressure to an already stressful situation, but after watching it again, it does not appear to be like that.  Morgan was in charge.  Canales mentioned needing a center, but beyond that, he was there to serve as a consultant, more or less, if asked.  I suppose my point was this--everyone knew their roles, I did not see egos--I saw empowerment.  As for Morgan--I saw a leader that listened to others, made wise decisions, and never lost control.  I was VERY IMPRESSED with Dan Morgan. 
    • Pretty good summation, although I would caution just a bit that there might be a little of over-enhanced expectations. I do agree with the assessment on BPA. It was exceedingly clear they had a specific shopping list. Early on when there was some discussion about the tackles available, Morgan was asked if he was willing to give up a 5th to get Freeling, if it came to that. I think the only way it wasn't a left tackle with that 1st pick is if none that were valued as a 1st were still available.
    • a) That they made it a point in the room to point at the paper and say, "hope the camera got that" suggests we really did target the players we wanted and got them. While there is a ton of editing happening to cut out conversations not related to the players we picked, there didn't seem to be a lot of panic about who/what was going on b) Tepper appreciates the analytics. Now that he has a few years to see how the front office team works together to do the analysis, it still looks like he's hands-off (he's learned his lesson??). He seemed less vocal than in previous years' Blueprints (at least, in the edit).  I wouldn't expect Canales to be overly vocal in the draft room - he's likely already made his opinions known behind the scenes about certain players. Draft day is Morgan and Tilis and Eager's day. Loved seeing their interactions/conversations  c) that's all Eager. There's a great piece somewhere about the analytics engine he built floating around somewhere (maybe it was just after the draft?), and how he's constantly tweaking it with info about the players and input from the coaching staff.  That the post-draft press - for the most part - all seem to be overly positive about the draft actions we had compared to other teams makes it seem like we've gotten the ship moving in the right direction. Whether it translates to on-field results, well, that's a different topic for hundreds of other threads
