Week 1 passing chart

[CRA]

The one thing I need explained is how people say that Cam can’t throw it deep but then complain about that overthrow. He can throw it  deep no problem. He needs the opportunity to throw it deep. That’s going to come from play calling and protection. 

[LinvilleGorge]

Only one attempt beyond 20 yards and 1/5 on 15+ yard attempts.

I also find it interesting that we were nearly perfect throwing to the left. Only one incomplete pass thrown to the left side of the field. Only one attempt of 15+ yards that was not to the right side of the field and it was the only one completed.

25 air yards downfield is not really a deep throw. A true deep ball is usually 40+ yards. Cam used to fling the ball 50+ off his back foot. It looks like a struggle for him to throw 10 yard outs now.

Me and you must not have been watching the same game on Sunday.  His throws had plenty of zip on them.  He hit many throws that were on a line 10 to 15 yards down the field.  I have no doubt he can throw it 50+ if need be.  The deepest shot they took on Sunday was overthrown by a good bit.  Arm strength is not the issue anymore.  Now, accuracy and touch are a different story.

So the longest throw was 25 yards? No completions 20+. Damn

Loss of arm strength does not necessarily correlate perfectly to loss of velocity. It means you have to exert more effort to make the same throws and when you exert more effort that comes at the cost of accuracy and touch. You are much more in control throwing something at 80% effort than you are at 100% effort.

That's not how this works.

Hell, they only ATTEMPTED one throw over 20 yards, much less completing any.

P.S. Weddle went out, and we still couldn't push the ball downfield.  I understand being careful, but when you lose a starter, at least attempt to go after their replacement.

Now, we don't know for sure if this was Curtis and DJ just not being able to shake loose at all, if Cam was just being cautious against a good (we think) team, part of the gameplan to keep the defense rested, or if Cam just cannot make those throws any longer with consistent accuracy.

Could be a combo of any and all, but it is worrisome either way.

This may have been by design or he’s scared. Thur game will tell us a lot.

This is what I see. Raiders won last night in part because they picked on a backup CB. If you look at the chart we did nothing to pick on a backup safety.

Yep, only two throws of 10+ yards to the left side of the field. Both completed.

Or I hate to say it, incapable. We've all seen him throw bombs to Curtis though. I just don't want to him force throw it deep into double coverage. If defenses are playing single high we need to pull that safety. That should be the game plan. I'll be extremely surprised to see this offense sustain success like this.

Overthrowing a mid or short ball has nothing to do with deep balls. Which he overthrew too.
