Rivera defends cam, says one of his INT "not his fault"

[Saca312]

I assume he's talking about Cam Newton's first interception. That definitely looked like a miscommunication.

The second I'd argue pressure + Thomas settling too much on his route were the causes.

Thomas got some work too do on his route running

[TheSpecialJuan]

he's right

True, but he has still shown a lot of promise for a 4th Round rookie

Hard to tell what happened with the first interception. On the second one, looked like Cam threw where Thomas should've been had he continued his route.

[Ricky Spanish]

Cam had a couple he was lucky weren't picked. That last drive on his throw down the left sideline to Samuel looked like a lame duck from the stands. It had no power behind the throw. 

Cam was great in the first half but looked terrible in the second. There were multiple open receivers that he just did not see throughout the second half of the game, and that will show up on the game film this week. He flat out ignored his outlet/Checkdown on numerous plays throughout the day. 

Hopefully he corrects it because we need him to play better if the defense is going to continue to suck.

It looked like he was hurt or sore. He kept looking at his wrist. Maybe he had a little problem that they didn't talk about

He did get up one play in the 2nd quarter or 3rd quarter where he got up holding his wrist like it was hurt. I caught that also.

Hopefully he does not go back into ignoring check downs.

Also I noticed a few of his balls were wobblers. Cam does not look the same throwing downfield this year. I think dude is still hurt. Ive never saw this many wobble passes from Cam in a season. Something is up.

[Jeremy Igo]

Yeah, that one was all Ian Thomas. Cut inside, Cam throws. You can't change your mind after that, rook.

I noticed the same thing. The ball was not jumping out of his hands like it has in the past. Hell, even compared to the game I went to last year, he had no zip on any of his passes. I'm a bit concerned.

He throws at smith too much

He threw at Smith all of one time yesterday.  And Smith was open and Cam missed him.  

I realize Smith is the go to blame guy this year, but he can't be blamed for everything.

This, he throws to Funches too much sometimes.

 

He did miss Smith when he was open..............the 1 time he was open all game off a busted coverage.  Besides that, he pretty much cant get open and looks like Russell Sheperd, hence the reason he doesnt the target's

Russell Sheperd actually looked pretty good against us yesterday.  He had a better game for them than he did for us at any point last year.
