Okay, so where to start with this one?

I don't think all hope is lost. Cam obviously doesn't look like Cam, but he is coming off of another shoulder surgery, he virtually didn't play in preseason and when he did it resulted in a foot injury that cost him valuable time. Watching Cam go from week 1 to week 2, he didn't look like shoulder injury Cam from 2018, he looked like a guy that kept having his brilliance turned on and off line a light switch at any give time, which makes me think he's extremely rusty. When Cam isn't being superman, Rivera simply cannot win games. He's not that type of coach. It's no secret that Cam has rarely, if ever looked good in a preseason game and he usually starts the season off slow, so with all these new added disasters, it's quite possible Cam's rustier than he's ever been.

I wouldn't be surprised if in the coming weeks Cam gets his timing back and the OL gels a bit going from utter poo to just pretty fuging bad. It's not over and I'd never bet against a guy that immediately returned after breaking his spine.

I just re-watched the game and I have to admit that Cam looked halfway decent in the first half. However, i honestly think he got tired in the 4th quarter. This could be a result of the vegan diet and not getting enough protein. I went vegan for 9 months and that happened to me.

Frankly, i wish Cam would put his "drip" on the shelf, get a haircut, eat a steak and focus more on being a football player and less on being an "icon and an entertainer". If he doesn't get his head right his career just might be coming to an end.

Rusty as he may be, his shoulder can't physically withstand the whipping motion he's always used. The new style, while more sustainable, is obviously limiting the distance and velocity on his throws. Then you have the anticipation and accuracy, which is another story. So, yeah, hope he shakes that rust off...

Plenty, plenty of proteins available to vegans. I’m closer to carnivore than vegan or even omnivore, but Cam’s diet isn’t his issue.

I dont see how anyone can say he doesnt look injuried. Cam use to fling the ball 60 yards almost effortlessly.. it was really his super power more so than the running. Now.. every throw looks like he has to reach down inside of him and summon the courage of Zeus's mother to throw the ball 30 yards. This is a travesty.. it's like watching one of the rarest most endangered species on the planet get caught in a fishing net struggling and dying at the same time..

      Lowest Yards Per Completion...All Time.

      By strato · Posted

      That was always the fear, expectation, concern, etc, I had.  Someone showed a still shot from his pick last game and said it showed that the defender closed 3 yards on that ball in the last portion of its flight. I forget the number. 10 yards I think it said but that sounds extreme.  When guys are open by a step, any slowing down to wait for the ball lets the defender back into the play. That sort of stuff makes the margins so small… these NFL CBs are not slow.   It is a league that highly values foot speed; the 40 times and drill times are scrutinized down to the hundredth of a second when evaluating these players on both sides of the passing game. Receivers and defenders both.   My thing with his arm strength (or anyone’s) was always “why do you want to do that? Plus pay extra picks to put yourself in that situation?”. Asking for trouble.     I wish there was a way to measure velocity on the back half of a throw compared to when it left the hand. Or really get accurate reading of the flight time of a ball from the near hash to the sideline, 10 yards down the field. Because teams could use that info. I have always seen this as being a disadvantage with Bryce but it is beyond my ability to quantify it.   I think it would show what that arm strength is really about, a lot more than just measuring how much air can you put under it so it will fly as far as possible.
