There's no pass rush this time of year obviously, but Cam is sticking to the new throwing motion for now.  If he keeps it up, I guarantee his accuracy will improve greatly.  Tighter, compact delivery and stepping into the throws is going to make a huge difference.  The test will be if he reverts back to his old habits when people are flying all around him in live action.

Footwork.... 

Yup, the back foot-slingshot/catapult throw is seemingly gone.  Again, we will see what happens when he's got guys with their ears pinned back coming at him.  I'm pleased with his willingness to adapt a new style this late in his career.  I went back and looked at Cam's highlight film from last year and the throwing motion is noticeably different from this video...even before the shoulder problem. 

Check out how he stands almost perpendicular to the target now versus nearly parallel before.  Before he would drop his throwing shoulder, arch back release while pushing off the back foot simultaneously to generate power for the throw.   Kinda like quickly pulling back and releasing a sling shot.   The catapult motion came after the shoulder injury and he was reaching back further to try to compensate for the loss of power, without success (due to the pain) and ultimately just put more air under the ball which lead to the increased picks.

Now he does the "small c" motion, which is the desired throwing motion for QBs.  Not only that, but he's following though with the throw (on the front foot) which helps with accuracy AND provides a smaller target for pass rushers on those notorious late hits Cam receives.

Looks like Cam Newton’s annual pass catching week is happening in California this year instead of Baltimore - spotted DJ Moore, Elijah Holyfield, Christian McCaffrey and Jarius Wright catching some passes from the QB, who seemed as if he was throwing freely.

      BREAKING: Panthers sign QB Kenny Pickett

      By frankw · Posted

      Yeah I find myself flipping between the worst case scenario of Bryce either playing just mediocre enough for our decision makers to justify giving him a contract extension in their eyes because they want to justify drafting him. Or Bryce going back to playing poorly and us having no one else to fall back on because Pickett might be decent for one or two games but there's no one else and our locker room starts to get ugly because we went all in with our salary cap and guys careers are on the line. This scenario which IMO is the higher probability given our schedule and the amount of tape out there on Bryce is why I say if we can trade down and acquire a few more mid or late round picks we should draft a developmental QB. Not looking for a guy to be the savior but someone with the necessary physical tools and who could actually run a QB sneak. But we'll just have to see how it shakes out. I just want a competitive team but the last thing I want is the season to fall apart because we once again threw our arms up in regards to the QB room.

      ^This. Rico was dynamite when we needed it last season, but not enough to keep but it massively upped his earning potential. It was a win-win for both sides. And he was there to cover the hole left by the injury to another RB, and hopefully his release to free agency means there's good news for us on the way. These new ones give us the opportunity to do that again, on the offensive line and elsewhere. We've got some long term question marks here and there due to injuries and age, and these players have a chance to up their value on the open market or settle down with us if the opportunity arises. And none of it ties us down with dead money down the road if it doesn't work out. And we've been in dead money hell for a decade now. Lease the ones you like, buy if you fall in love.
