3rd down and manageable....Throw a low % bomb

The point of the deep receiver is to pull the defense away from the receivers underneath it's just Cam only sees one option and that's throw it deep. He just locks onto a receiver nevermind the rest of the guys on the field. SCREW reading the defense who does that in the NFL am I right?

We are a joke.  CMC is wide open and can move the sticks, instead we go deep and overthrow Funchess.  Ridiculous.

Its the OC job to teach Cam to look at the easy options first and to not throw that deep bomb unless its butt naked open and not on 3rd down.

I would hope any QB at the pro level knows this already. If not he needs to go back to grade school and throw bombs/run around and make kids look stupid.

Unfortunately Cam doesnt know this. He needs a strong OC to beat this into him. 

Cam is wired to look deep and throw the hard low % pass over the short easy pass.

This is true. Even with TV cams only, I counted seven times in the first half where CMC SHOULD have been an option. He was wide open, and on most of the plays certain first down yardage.

And put in who? Lame-duck Anderson? Brilliant idea.

How about tank the season and put Gilbert in?? Even if he's worse than Cam, at least the future won't be more of the same stuff that isn't working. With the same broken player at QB who just doesn't have it anymore. How about trade him for future picks and use the picks to develop a new franchise QB? Cam isn't going to another SB the rest of his life.

    • XL could easily be the last dog at the bowl for WR production next year.  That could leave him around 200-300 yards which would be disastrous.
    • Well sure, that's where the disconnect is then. If Thielen only gets 300-400 yards and T-Mac is healthy for the full season, then I'm with you guys, in that scenario there is absolutely zero excuse for him to not put up over 1,000 yards.   In fact, I'll let you double that, if Thielen has only 600 yards, then again, my expectations are for T-Mac to surpass the 1k mark with ease. But his game has never been about his physical abilities, so even if he loses a half a step, he's still the same player who is a savvy route runner who will get open and Bryce will continue to find him due to their chemistry.  Particularly since Bryce isn't a QB who forces things, he takes what the defense gives him.  So when teams focus on T-Mac and Thielen is more free to find those holes in the defense than he has the last two years, I don't think Bryce is going to ignore him. If someone wants to argue for T-Mac getting to 1,000 yards, personally, I'd say those yards would be far more likelier to come from XL and Coker than Thielen.  And that has nothing to do with XL or Coker, but that I'm still a firm believer in Thielen being able to still get 50-60 yards a game, again, particularly as he'll have less defensive attention on him than in either of his 2 seasons with us so far. Just because T-Mac is our #1 of the future who will have the ball forced to him at times, doesn't mean he needs to be forced into that role from day 1 when we have 3 very legitimate WR options next to him. Let the rookie grow into the role and the NFL game, we have that ability to do so because of Thielen, XL, and Coker.
    • Spot on. He's only 20 and his height 6'2 and weight 230lbs might make him more of an off-ball LB possibility. He's a multi-year project
