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.

      The Bryce Young "Game Winning Drive" narrative needs to end

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      By outlaw4 · Posted

      First off, my memory is faulty and so I should remember you. Anyways, welcome back. Having been around here since 2004/2005, I do have to say all these hot takes are not necessary new. I still very much remember all the constant complaints about Jake Delhomme. How he was too inaccurate, fumbled the ball too often, threw bad interceptions, and how Steve Smith deserved a better QB. How this franchise needed to replace Jake for someone better because he dragged everyone down. We even had names for Jake defenders; Blind Delhomme Jock Sniffers (BDJS). That one thread about Chris Weinke over Jake Delhomme because Weinke threw for 423 Yards but only scoring 13 points remains the worst hot takes I've ever seen around here. So to me, it feels like history repeating itself again and I don't feel like getting that much involved in flame wars like I used to. I am more of a sit back and see what the players/team does type of person. And even then, yes, there are so many moving parts that it's not as easy to pinpoint the core issues, especially when you're not inside the building and know every single detail.  And yes, I think even way back then, I hated how overvalued the QB position was and it hasn't gotten much better. It's to where my philosophy has shifted to where if you can't win a SB with a QB on their rookie contract, you might as well get another one. Otherwise, you have to give that QB so much money that the rest of the roster suffers and your window becomes quite narrow.  That's why I'm skeptical that Mahomes/Burrow/Jackson/Allen will win more than one or two SB's between them. None of them look as invisible as they did a few years ago and that's because their targets are much inferior and/or they are getting more roughed up behind a worse O-line.
