Cam was outside of the tackle box. (Pics)

The camera angle changes during the play, but as you can see, pre-snap Williams outside shoulder is approximately 3 yards from the outside of the hashmark.  Cam appears to be about 3.5 to 4 yards outside of the hashmark when he releases the ball.  That isn't even considering whether there were receivers nearby, although there were.

it's honestly really close. even if it was a reviewable play which it wasn't, i doubt the refs overturn it. 

whether there was a receiver in the area, that's still up for debate. 

the refs simply saw cam on the verge of being sacked as he chucked it out of bounds and that's pretty much what drew the flag.

Historically, the refs have swallowed the whistle for a lot more in playoff games.  They generally don't want to be responsible for a game's outcome, unless it involves us apparently.

And again, the camera angle makes the area between Cam and the hash appear shorter than it would have with the pre-snap angle and it still looks conclusive to me.  And regardless of what I think, according to the broadcast and Olsen's own account, the official responsible for making that call said Cam was out of the pocket.  These pics just confirm that.

So why the hell did they call it if it wasn't clear and is clearly questionable.  BS call.

like i said, cam was on the verge of getting sacked and proceeded to chuck the ball out of bounds. usually that alone draws the refs attention for a potential intentional grounding. couple that with the fact they didn't see a receiver in the area, they threw the flag. 

whether he was outside the tackle box or not, as mentioned above, it was pretty close. could have gone either way imho

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
