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

Recommended Posts

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.

    • I think it is a perspective thing.   For Bryce, have people forgotten how utterly horrible he was into year two?  I think some have.   I am not a numbers guy but I hear tell that his numbers were historically poor.   He was incrementally better 2nd half of year two and that takes you to 2025.  He had  actual acceptable performances at times in 2025. Which is a whole lot better than historically bad but not necessarily even league average when you can’t cherry pick just those good days.     I don’t know what about CJ. At this point I’d have to say I would be very concerned about him because it may now be in his head.   I still think CJ is the better QB but maybe not if he can’t put the dysfunction behind him.  
    • The thing is, Stroud's needle has been moving down where Young's has been moving up. Situationally, most would give the nod to Stroud over each of their tenures, so overall most are going to be more critical of him at the moment.
    • Actually we like to run more than most, and the dropoff isn't that drastic. We seem to be pretty much middle of the road. The Facons, Bucs, Browns and Bengals are the ones where running drops off markedly when they start trailing. Our line on the chart, like I said, is somewhat middle of the road.  As to whether or not if it's good or bad is anyone's guess by looking at this. I suspect people who like Old school football won't be upset at this at all. The thing is, we would have to know the game scripts and the situations, as running and or passing making sense is contextual. I know that I haven't necessarily been enamored with Canales's situational play calling. At the end of the day, I believe in using the run to set up the pass and the pass to set up the run, and trying to keep the opposition off balance, but I still believe that you should run it down their throats if they can't stop it.
