Why does CAM continues to overthrow his WRs?

this fanbase deserves a paunchy white lunch-pailer with great work ethic and film study habits who barks on the sideline en route to a perrenial 9-7 record 

Yep, his name was Jimmy Clausen and by the time he left you could get entire sections of the stadium to yourself.

By my estimation, he overthrew two balls today (the other was to Samuel on a sideline route), it just came at the worst time.

A valid point is him overthrowing WRs for 7+ season ... bring some facts instead of poo next time.

Statistics are failing you I guess. Make another thread about tight ends, it's where you're comfortable spouting bullshit.

It's because Cam has a cannon arm and a lot of times he can make throws without stepping into them. But then sometimes he can't. The issue with that throw wasn't that it was too high, it was that it was in the wrong spot and too hard. He needed to put it in front of Wright- he couldn't get it right to him because of the Dline.

It was a dumb call and it lost us a game we deserved to lose but could have stolen. It makes the Hawks game an absolute must-win.

if the pass wasn't too high, it could have been caught

I mean, if he did correct it, say completely, wouldn't that put him on par with some of the greatest quarterbacks of all time? Can the man have some flaws, and still be a productive, even great player. I understand this is easy to point to, but it's not really that relevant. Quarterbacks miss throws constantly, just because Cam does it in predictable way doesn't make it any more prevalent to his ability.

I think you are misunderstanding me. Cam IS one of the best QB's this franchise has ever seen, maybe even his generation, no question in my mind about that. The over throws seem to be at times when we need it most as a team. And with the history of it, It's just disappointing.

It's disappointing, sure, but I don't think it's worth making a thread over, especially as a crux to an argument for moving on, which is what this user has been advocating. It's just getting old.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
