3rd Q. Cam last second decides not to throw a wide open TD.

Ouch. Just saw this on twitter. 

Anyhow, it’s clear Cam was off his game last week, but the All-22 is brutal. We had missed opportunities, but man this just stinks to see. Cam even anticipated him.

Yeah sure. You can argue he “felt pressure,” but you can’t defend him with that too much as he only was pressured 3 times total. This should’ve been a TD.

And I’m the biggest Cam defender on here. But this was weird to see him so off and seeing ghosts Sunday. I’m sure he’s definitely on top of it this week.

This 1 of about 4 throws I had to rub my eyes and make sure I was watching Cam playing quarterback. 

He was definitely off.

  • He missed a wide open CMC a couple drives after Giants scored. Instead threw INC to T. Smith in double coverage.
  • He threw a back shoulder throw on a go route to Samuel after he destroyed his man off the LOS, over the top and that is a walk-in TD
  • As I mentioned before: 2nd INT had an easy YAC play for Moore, but instead threw an errant pass to IT
  • Threw behind Funch on a 3rd and long when he had his man beat could of easily been a 20 yard gain.

Just wasn't his day. He is our QB and a great QB. Sometimes you just have a bad day. Hopefully we leave that in week 5.

Looked like he was worried about a strip sack from behind. 

What I’m thinking but the guy was still comfortably far enough away and Cam’s thrown through much worse.

Just uncharacteristic overall.

Cam looked very pedestrian on Sunday, he missed McCaffrey multiple times out of the backfield on plays that would have led to huge gains.

We got so caught up in the score that we forgot the first 17 points were due to Gano, Moore/Samuel ridiculous plays, and special teams. Outside of a few plays the offense was anemic.

Honestly the way Cam and the offense looked, if Rivera has Cam out there slinging the ball around then we may very well have lost that game due to three and outs, interceptions, etc.

That’s the mark of good QB though, just find a way to get it done.

1) Giants were never up 20-16

2) This is the kind of crap that’s going to happen on occasion when you spend all off season and pre season drilling it into his head to take the check down every single time.

I have no idea why this organization doesn’t just trade Cam for Alex Smith and some draft picks. It’s clear they want no part of a play making QB, just look at the type of WR’s they surround him with.

Yes, he played like crap in the passing game. But at least he dominated the run game to even it out

To be fair he was probably average passing wise. Issue is he’s normally elite imo so far this season so this is a low for him.

      Panthers Blueprint: Draft

      By The Third Reich · Posted

      I realize it about the expectations, but on paper, we drafted players who would have a chance to compete at positions where any could realistically step in and take the job---Freeling?  Yup.  Hunter?  Yup.  Brazzell?  Yup.  It is likely that all three see the field early and often.  Day 3:  Lee?  I see him as the #3 CB and the job is his when they are ready for him--and it is his to lose.  Hecht?  I loved him in mock research and called him the best C in the draft.  He might play a year behind Fortson or he could take the job--regardless, he is the obvious front runner for the 2027 season.  Wheatley?  I see Ransom and Moehrig as basically the same "in the box" type S.  If Wheatley can learn for a season behind Scott, he has the tools to be a serviceable FS, something this team needs.  Finally, Kuwatch seemed to be a PS pick, and he could be--but to win the 4th ILB job, he needs to beat out Bam Morris-Scott and with a 46.5 vertical (I can't do that on the triple jump) and a superior RAS rating, he looks like a special teamer and depth piece.....I forgot about Morgan's comment about giving up the 5th--probably to get ahead of Detroit.  Freeling has the athleticism and the tools to be the best OT in this draft.  The others lacked arm length or something like that--Freeling simply lacks a ton of experience.

      excellent points and insights.  I agree on Tepper.  I guess I worry that his questions and comments might influence the thinking of his employees, that his presence in the room might add pressure to an already stressful situation, but after watching it again, it does not appear to be like that.  Morgan was in charge.  Canales mentioned needing a center, but beyond that, he was there to serve as a consultant, more or less, if asked.  I suppose my point was this--everyone knew their roles, I did not see egos--I saw empowerment.  As for Morgan--I saw a leader that listened to others, made wise decisions, and never lost control.  I was VERY IMPRESSED with Dan Morgan.

      Pretty good summation, although I would caution just a bit that there might be a little of over-enhanced expectations. I do agree with the assessment on BPA. It was exceedingly clear they had a specific shopping list. Early on when there was some discussion about the tackles available, Morgan was asked if he was willing to give up a 5th to get Freeling, if it came to that. I think the only way it wasn't a left tackle with that 1st pick is if none that were valued as a 1st were still available.
