It's indicative of what Panthers fans have known for a very long time. 

Does Cam throw high at times?  Yes.

Has he been running an offense that puts him in the worst possible position considering that deficiency?  Yes.

Are other top tier quarterbacks consistently asked to make the throws Cam is?  No.

Is Cam now in an offense that is designed to make things easy for the QB like other said Quarterbacks?  Yes.

Is Cam a top 5 QB in the NFL?  Yes.

Again, nothing about Cam's changed really, he still does basically the complete opposite of everything you want a pocket passer to do from the neck down when he throws the ball. Leans back, drops his elbow, plants his back foot and generates power by torquing his entire upper body into the throw. He only manages to make it effective because he's so fuging big and strong. The downside though is that it's a longer, more exaggerated motion, that's more prone to accuracy issues when everything isn't perfect in the pocket.

So what Norv has done is basically limit the amount of passes Cam has to make while facing pressure in a collapsing pocket, and when he does, it's the kind of pass Cam excels at. Basically, power shots down the field where he's essentially outracing a defender with his arm. You don't see him throwing a lot of those sideline fades or corner routes that he tends to miss on. And you see him getting a lot more basically "free" completions, like those jet sweeps where he flips it forward instead of back, that counts as a completion!

      Thomas Fletcher Didn’t Make It, But These Four Did

      Seriously? A CB who missed all that time on his rookie deal and was also a top 10 pick when the guys picked right before and after have been studs. A RB our GMs tried to replace with FAs and 2nd rounders and two backup level players is one of the best drafts we’ve ever had? I’d argue that the 2011/2012 drafts were better even with just Cam and Luke/Norman. Here’s the drafts I think were better: 2017, maybe 2018, 2015, 2013, 2011, 2012, 2008, 2007, 2001, 2002 (just Pepp) I’m hoping 2025 is way better as well. Honestly, we’ve kind of sucked at drafting overall and that’s the only reason you can even remotely call Horn, Hubbard, Tremble and BC a good draft let alone one of our best ever. Good teams that draft well would laugh at that as a great draft. If you want to look at say the 2023 Lions draft, you’d get 4 stud/above average/average starters not just 3 replaceable starters/backups and a top 10 pick that missed half his games. That’s a draft that helps turn a team into a playoff team. Our record since our 2021 draft is 19-49. A best ever draft doesn’t go 19-49.

      Well, the Niners just doomed themselves to mediocrity

      Bingo. You can't pay that type of player elite franchise QB money. That average starter type player can excel when he's surrounded by top shelf talent in a great offensive system but pay him elite QB money and you're going to really struggle to surround him with the type of talent you need to carry him. You pay those elite franchise QBs because they can carry your roster. You can't pay guys who have to be carried. Bryce showed glimpses down the stretch last year. I really hope he keeps building on that. But before we back up the Brinks truck he needs to show that he's the type of QB who can lift up and carry the offense because when you pay those guys that's what they're gonna have to do.
