Evaluating Cam's underthrow and 4th down pass + reinforcing the fact the team lives and dies by him

When a teams defense sucks, they pretty much live or die by the play of their QB. Brees who had a poo defense for a stretch went 7-9 3 years in a row I believe. Overall, Cam has played his best particularly as a passer. But people remember the big moments, the moments that decide games. Whether there could have been a way to throw Wright open or totally throw to someone else, those misses really stick out. It’s happened a few times this season.

So have the shitty Red zone playcalls but....hey lets put it all on the guy with the ball last, circumstance be damned. Cam should've played better in spots, but the lack of requiring accountability from Norv is telling.

I feel sorry for cmc. He is playing lights out but the rest of the team isn’t. Imagine having a rb with over 1000 rushing over 100 catches a 5.2 avg and near 1000” receiving yet we get a losing record ? 

I’m pretty sure the only two people to achieve this in the NFL, both also won the Super Bowl with their team that same season.

and CMC won’t even make the playoffs...

hell, he won’t even have a winning team record 

just LOL and WTF

That pass to Samuel should have been caught, therefore I can't place the failure to score soley on Cam. I blame Norv most of all.

That said, elite players, make elite plays, in elite moments. It's difficult to say Cam is elite and then absolve him of not making this throw. Either he's elite or he isn't. And yes, even elite QBs miss throws, and when they do, I expect them to say "yes it was a tight window, but I should have made that throw." I bet that's exactly what Cam is saying to himself, which is why he'll bounce back from this, be it Monday or Next year with new coaches.

To be fair Cam is capable of making that throw. Had a far tighter window throwing to Samuel the play before that hit perfectly in his hands.

Again, largely through it all Cam's always getting flack for something perceived as "easy' when it's really not. And this fanbase takes him far too much for granted.

Hit nail on head with that one, the perception of cam over the course of his career is that he is a underachiever because he has had it "easy" with this team in having a great defense to carry him. At least that's what i hear a lot. Any real fans of the team know thats also bullshit.
