It’s funny how with the same footwork he’s been completing those passes all season. He is clearly compensating, but hey let’s throw cam under the bus while we do everything in our power to absolve the moron head coach from blame.

Hard to win a football game (that you should win or should have won) when the QB is forcing the ball to a covered receiver, missing wide open ones, and throwing picks. 

I get that Rivera deserves a lot of the blame---in my mind, mostly due to in-game personnel decisions---but no coach in the league is going to win when the QB is throwing picks, missing reads and, indeed, missing wide open receivers.

I don't know if he's lost his confidence but it is crazy seeing people questioning his dedication to his craft now after years of tearing him down for daring to play the game with swagger and confidence. He's been dogged left and right for celebrating too much. Mom's sending in angry letters. Ridiculed over a towel. Don't do the first down point. Don't get so mad about losing. If he's finally lost his confidence then he's finally accepting losing the way this fanbase has wanted from the word go. The culture of accepting mediocrity that Jerry Richardson instilled and cultivated. It's what the fans deserve. They got what they wanted. Don't cry about it now.

Cam's enough of an individual that if that stuff was ever gonna affect him, it would've by 2012. I don't think that's the cause of losing confidence. He has minimal faith in his teammates, save for an IR'd tight end, a young RB, a couple WRs and Captain America.

Everyone else has either been beat over the head by Father Time, or they quit like a bunch of bitches (coaches included in this).

Lol where was Steve smith when cam was playing the best football of his career earlier in the season. Steve smith is a joke. Still upset how things ended here. A shame he’s the face of this franchise. Give Julius, Cam, and Luke over him every day of the week.

It’s his job to give his opinions now and I believe it is correct. I started a thread asking if Cams shoulder injury was as bad as we thought because he has thrown over 40 times each of the last two games. If it was so bad wouldn’t the coaches go more run heavy? Pointing out bad machanics is not taking a shot at Cams character. Ron Rivera said the interception just sailed on Cam as well which means bad mechanics on his throw. This has been an issue throughout his career but for the record I still believe he is the franchise QB for the next 10 years and is the best we have ever had. Also I do not think Steve is wrong in his statement and is doing his job rather than bashing his former team.

I really wish the guy would work on it.

 

I just don't think he cares.

 

Of course everytime I point out that his feet and hips are wide open pointed left of the target I'm told I'm an idiot or racist. 

He needs to fix it this offseason.  

yeah the fan base is just so fickle..cant accept any criticism about average at best cam with out calling you racist.

If you need an example of the mentality I am speaking on you need look no further than that preseason game where Corey Brown dropped like 30 passes and we still kept defiantly going at him. That's the same approach we've used with the OL. That's the same approach we've been using with Funchess. We keep trying to turn players into something they simply are not capable of being until it is far too late.

It is abundantly clear we desperately need a new coaching regime in here. After that we can assess where we are at with guys like Cam, but right now there is only one first step.

I don't think we need to assess where we are with Cam, tbh. And I know you agree. He just needs some rest, he should be on IR, and he needs a new coach (and probably GM) to go with a new LT, LG, C and RT.

He’s hurt. He was completing 70% if his passes prior to that. Let’s not pretend like he’s responsible for us not winning games. How about ron the defensive guru gets his defense to make a stop and not be the 2nd worst red zone defense in football.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
