Who's to blame for Cam's Injury

[BrianS]

Equal parts Cam and the receivers.

Cam should have clearly read blitz there.  One would *hope* his receivers are on the same page.  There was a slot receiver on Cam's left that should have read blitz and broke his route off short and inside for an easy completion.

The problem with Cam throwing it away there is thousands of people flock to here and Twitter to say "see just like the fumble in the Super Bowl, Cam quits when he can't score, one-read system QB"

He's held the football too long his entire career.  It's not changing now.

1. Cam couldn't throw it away as he was in between the tackle box. 2. He could've just layed down, but it is football, so you play football. Shouldn't be that difficult to comprehend.The real problem seesm to be that Grier isn't the personal jesus that a certain segment has been praying for for 9 years.

I was just about to say the same thing. He was still in the pocket so he couldn't throw it away, tried to escape but couldn't so he had to take the hit.

This is an unnecessary thread. Do people posting some of these replies really think they deserve a winner or success period? Give ugliness you get ugliness.

This is incorrect.  Assuming Cam read blitz, and he surely did, then there should have been options.  Hot reads should be part of the offense, even a vanilla offense *must* have a hot read.  If the hot read is covered, you throw high and outside to the outside receiver.

The question is what do you believe.  Do you believe there was no hot read on that play? (Shame on the coaches)  Do you believe Cam didn't read blitz? (Shame on Cam)  Do you believe Cam tried to make too much of the play? (Shame on Cam)  Do you believe a receiver failed to make the correct read? (Shame on the reciever)

There are tons of potential problems on that play.  We will never know which was true, we can only speculate.

Other.

It was Eric Reid's fault trying to injure Cam so he could get a job for his Buddy Kaepernick.

It is in fact correct. Now if you want to argue if he should've hit his hot read, that is legitimate. Once HE DID NOT he was in no mans land and what happened was the result. There can actually be more than one failing.

I've looked at the play. Donta Hightower prevents Cam from rolling outside of the pocket and throwing it away, Cam then steps inside to avoid Hightower and then the rest of the Patriots defense collapses on him.

What could have been done differently might have been to slighty overthrow a covered receiver to avoid grounding penalty.

My honest take on the situation. The offense had 2 consecutive punts. It's now 3rd and 10 on 3rd drive. QB does his 5 step drop, no one is open beyond first down marker, he tries to extend play to get first down, gets sacked and sprains foot. I can't necessarily blame a player for trying.

The biggest concern I have with this team is their lack of urgency. It's like they won the SB last year and are content. Even the 4th stringers trying to make the team look lethargic.

Wow. 

You can't throw it away in the pocket....that is a penalty, number one. If the second guy is blocked, Cam gets away from the pocket collapsing.

I would say Cam had to see that but I also don’t know if a hot route was called and if anyone was actually at least minimally open.

Ohhhhh that makes sense. That’s far more important to worry about.

We can only speculate at this point
