40% completion rate


NAS

Recommended Posts

Cam’s completion percentage throwing to the right side of the field through 2 games is only 40%!

Conversely, he has completed 80% to the left side of the field this season, a 57% completion rate to the middle.   In total he’s 12-of-30 for 171 yards and an interception throwing to the right side of the field.

Why is that?  Is it the shoulder, poor footwork, new throwing motion, the routes being run?

tinderboxers thought this was about cops.

it might be a combination of all those things really. the routes and having to get his body angled. maybe something to do with trusting his blind side, too, you have to really get your back turned to the LT to throw toward the right

Exaggerated a bit? His completion percentage is near 60%... had 15 off target throws against Tampa. 

While the exaggeration is definitely real, the fact that 30% of his throws against Tampa were off target is terrifying.

Not sure if his career factually supports it but I have always thought he went downfield to the left sideline better.  

I mean, that might just be a more glaring example of the relative norm for him.

Chris Weinke had the opposite problem--could not throw across his body.  Cam can.  He tends to open up more throwing right, which causes the passes to sail a lot.  His shoulders are more open toward the target than at other times. 

A friend of mine who was a college QB and went on to become a head coach in college pointed that out to me. 

FWIW---it was about 4-5 years ago.

    • I do think the rating is fair given how this unit hasn’t proven it with production. I understand you have to rank off production, not potential. However, our unit is also in a position to make this rating look foolish a year from now. We have 4 guys in the WR/TE room who all could legitimately take the next step this year, and catapult our rank. A guy under a lot of people’s radar after we took Tet, Jalen Coker. Mark my words, he will become the star of this room, and be the heir to Thielen.
    • Exactly. You’d think 2-7 wins a year (in a 17 game season no less) since 2017 is going to keep us bottom tier. Every year we say the same poo like we haven’t been a bad team the past 7 years. Until we prove we aren’t a bottom dweller, that’s where we’ll stay ranked. God forbid we have OL injuries like 2016.
    • What I love and hate about this team is it’s more filled with potential breakout players than ever before. JT, XL, Coker, Smith-Wade, Ikem, Trevin… and even Bryce are all guys I could legitimately see taking the next step. But the problem with having so many of those guys is that team success somewhat relies on them taking that step, and some are bound not to. That being said, I’m cautiously optimistic given our softer schedule, the way the offense clicked late last year, and the direction we finally have at GM, coach, and QB. Could see us as a sneaky playoff team.
