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.

I'm sorry, the criteria for a good QB has been changed. It is all about yards now.

Was it a bit much? Maybe.

Was your comment worthy of pie? Yes. Yes it was.

Why, you may ask? Because you just raised the IQ of the huddle a half a point.

Genius

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!
