Something I have noticed about Cam

We all know the defense looks for anything they can to get a read and a jump on the snap of the football. From watching the center's fingers to the eyes of the QB widen. A lot of time is spent trying to figure out the "tells" of when the ball will be snapped. 

I noticed something about Cam on Thursday night... 

 

In nearly every single shotgun snap, Cam raises his arms from his side a second before the ball is snapped. This gives a clear indication to the defense the snap is coming. If I am a defensive player I am eating this up. I feel like if Cam held his arms up for the ball a few seconds before the snap is called, hell, it may make a slight difference for no extra effort. 

Anywho, just a random thought and observation.

It's odd because he became a beast at drawing the defense off sides.  He'd get them two or three times in one drive sometimes.

Mind-boggling we moved away from trying this. Cam was a master during the 2015 season with it. 

But then again, we still haven't learned that Cam is best in the hurry up (giving him extra time to do this), we still struggle with play calling/getting them in on time, and even getting to the line without wasting time or time outs. The offense (and Cam even) have always seemed lackadaisical more often than not during drives and it drives me insane.  I get wanting to be controlled and run some clock, but there's a line. When Rivera, Shula, and Norv have been setting the tone though, makes sense we move away from creativity.

It’s obvious he doesn’t even try to draw teams offsides anyone.

      Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.

      Bryce Young is the first Panthers QB to throw for 20+ touchdowns in a season since Cam Newton in 2018.

      I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually.

      I'm sold on the NFL being fixed.

      Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
