Do I have to much faith in Cam?

Recommended Posts

Don't get me wrong, Cam is very good QB but Shula and Rivera don't trust his accuracy until it's do or die time.  Its seems they'd rather limit risk early on because of that inaccuracy coupled with the subpar receiving corps.   Should the coaching staff be more aggressive offensively and risk early TOs with Cam or keep the status quo approach?  It's hard to oppose their tactic since 11-4 is a pretty damn good year in the league.  I think to beat the Saints and other top tier teams in the league, we might need to take more risk on offensive and limit some of the deficiencies on the defense, primarily the secondary's exposure to give up the huge plays.

I think we continue to play ball control with the occasional long pass thrown in. I noticed they are starting cmc now and using stew in short yardage. I think that w help as it gives u more options to run or pass.

I’m still trying to figure out how “to much” something.

Yeah, I did it.

fixed it..."too much"....an engineer so all this fancy wordin' isn't  my thang...simply a typo though.  I don't think beating the Saints is possible using the current strategy, the Saints know it.

Just a playful jab.  Typos happen.

To your point I agree, rolling out the same ol game plan against the Taints won’t work.

I almost threw my beer mug threw my TV when Rivera and Shula let Derek Anderson and his disturbing propensity for interceptions walk in cold off the sideline for one play and immediately throw the ball when all that moron Shula wants Cam to do inside the 10-yd line is run QB draws.

When I thought I couldn't despise those two coaches any more than I already do, they went and proved me wrong again.

Cam is who he is. A streaky passer who can make every throw but with inconsistent accuracy, who also happens to be the best athlete on the field 99% of the time. He's probably the most unique QB in NFL history, on any given play he's either Peyton Manning or Eric Dickerson. He effects every running play and forces the full attention of at least one defender on the back seven every moment the ball is in his hands. His biggest flaws is he can be a little slow getting the ball out and poor mechanics in the pocket lead to inaccurate throws, especially when pressured. That's why you don't want him throwing the ball 25+ times a game, odds are he'll make a handful of bad throws that can be back breakers if they get picked. I still wouldn't trade him for anyone else, on and off the field he's a joy to follow and root for.

Good point that’s y we need to play ball control in postseason

Cam could be a little more polished but he can do everything we ask a top QB to do in this league. If you factor his running ability and his ability to convert 3rd down he’s essentially a priceless player. Especially in this offense when we have struggled all season to establish a running game and very green WRs being introduced into the offense.

That drive against TB is textbook Cam Newton.

Most QB’s can be taken out of the game if a team has good pass defense or happens to be playing good that day. When you can run power consistently with your QB, who is also a beast in the open field why would I give up that advantage? Most QB’s aren’t built to do that. He protects himself well as a runner aside from that ATL game.

I’d take that advantage. My only beef with Cam is wearing ATL gear and playing soft against the Falcants. We need Killa Cam this next game, not their fan or buddy, otherwise he’s the best QB this franchise has ever had and a great community presence. Cam is the solution at QB not the problem.

When has Cam ever played soft against the Falcons? He owns them.

    • Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
