Correct me if I'm wrong, weren't there some hits he sustained last season that led to that fall off a cliff so to speak? I remember one in particular directly to his shoulder.

In terms of worrying about potential injury, the best way to counter that is to field a stout punishing run game to allow Cam to do what he does best as the QB. See 2015 with Jonathan Stewart.

Just watch the All Or Nothing show, and you can see why that one hit from TJ Watt sealed the deal. His throws were never the same after that one.

The only major hit was in Pittsburgh - major being more than the normal punishment he receives. TJ Watt’s helmet to shoulder. But he was on the injury report before that. After the Eagles game where he threw a crazy high number of passes (had to in the 4th).

Agree with the run game stuff. But I don’t think they’re going to take much/any away from CMC though. Especially not for a rookie to pound it. Hopefully one of them emerges as a legit #2. The short passes to CMC are also effective and help maintain the shoulder 

Not looking to take much away from CMC of course, I think that's where the value of his versatility in the passing game comes into play. If need be we always have that option. I just hope there is more of an urgency put into developing a possible one-two punch combo in the run game. Last year we signed CJ Anderson only to cut him after some undeniable awkwardness all around even afterward. It didn't help matters to see the Rams coaching staff getting immediate returns out of him which facilitated their postseason run and eventual SB appearance. Our coaches must learn from that, and move forward accordingly with an even larger emphasis in that area now considering what is at stake with our franchise QB returning from offseason shoulder surgery.

Makes sense to me @TheRed

His shoulder issues didn't start until the second half of the season. He was throwing well last training camp and the first half of the season. 

What you talking about? 

Oh and hey everybody! 

Well I actually watched and know what I'm talking about. He looked terrible in camp. If u look at the stats for the season he was not throwing hardly any 20+ passes. Then it just got worse as the season went on.

Also through first five games last year he was 1 for 14 on passes over 20+ yards. It just got worse from there, sorry but if that's not proof he was struggling with shoulder that whole time then I don't know what else to tell u.

If that shoulder is sore today the medical staff should be fired

It’s going to be sore no matter what, it’s part of the healing process. Guessing you’ve never had a serious injury.

I would wait a little while before claiming that Cam is going to make it thru an entire season. Can’t base that on a couple throws on the first day of TC

You have no understanding of how the human body or sports medicine works for that matter.

Did Cam throw with new mechanics?I'm not sure in that tape.

Yup.

If you have watched Cam at all, you could see the shoulder was an issue from the very start of camp.

Once again, a fireable offense for Marty if you ask me.  Not having a legit backup to Cam coming off shoulder issues, on the farewell tour for Pep, Kalil, and TD....was inexcusable.

Was going to flame till I saw this. Good job, you got me.

Cam's arm was definitely nothing like it used to be at no point last season, but it was after that TJ Watt hit in the Steelers game where it became very obvious that he was really struggling to throw.
