Unpopular fact: Cam and Taylor both threw the same distance.

Cam threw the ball from our 34 to their 10. 16+40 = 56 yards in the air. Taylor threw the ball from the 43 to the 1. 7+49=56. They threw the same air distance. It just didn't make sense for Cam to be out there taking another unnecessary hit.

I'm confused. How did Cam launch from the 34 but Taylor launch from the 43? Shouldn't they have both launched from about the same spot?

No, look at the play again. 1) Cam looked to take a deeper drop and 2) Taylor got to start closer due to a defensive offside or whatever the penalty was so he started 5 yards better. Cam was further behind the line of scrimmage than Taylor was when he threw it. I made this thread while watching the highlights of the game on ESPN.

Argue the hail mary at the end all you like, the real canary in the coal mine for Cam yesterday was underthrowing Curtis Samuel on the deep ball by about 5-7 yards.  That told me all I needed to know (and frankly already suspected) about Cam's arm.

True. The bigger issue is the lack of accuracy on the normal deep ball.

This. The arm strength is still plenty fine. This plays blows stuff way out of proportion. The real issue is on normal deep balls (20+ yards) Cam doesn't have the accuracy he once did. It can come back over time with practice and reps but the issue this season is he is taking a lot of practices off due to health.

No, there was an offsides penalty on Tampa. That’s why we got to throw it again.

      Some people have been beaten down so long they have no standards. Can't be reasoned with.

      Getting better, might be fairly charitable. We finished 1-3 with the pressure on. That is for sure not trending up.  I don’t see a clear run of performances that prove he has taken it to another level. Not yet.  I would say he played really well in the WC game. And folded on that last series where we still had a chance. I think he threw one good ball. That last series is the kind of thing a player is supposed to learn from and not repeat. We have to see him do it before we can credit him for doing it.    I would also say he has not done enough of playing at his ceiling and what we should expect as the game in game out norm is still not established.  We gonna get MNF in SF or we gonna get the WC game? Seattle or Atlanta yardage record?   Besides that he has three years of horrendous play to start the season hanging over him. Are we going to get that again or will he be over that? We can’t know that. Mind you, that isn‘t two of three it is three of three he has yet to play well to start the year as a pro. Ofer.    So, many questions remain.    As far as weapons and help… said it before. Fix the OL so we can protect him.  It is time for a 1.1 pick in his 4th season, third year in the same offense, to elevate the players we have given him. You can’t keep up the level of investment dedicated to propping him up, you have to prop up the defense too and get some balance.

      Yeah, just got back to the house from doing some actual work, hopefully they create some better chances in the second half. 3-1 looks tough for you
