40% completion rate

[NAS]

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

i seen somewhere that 67% of his passes were un-catchable. Any backup in the NFL could be better than that.

So you’re saying Will Grier is better than Cam

Passing? Yes at this point. I can throw more accurately than Cam right now. You dont get to the NFL as a QB if you cannot hit the broad side of a barn.

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

At throwing the ball, yes.  Decision making and making reads, doubtful.

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

I believe it means that 67% of the passes that weren't caught were uncatchable.

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.

Interesting seeing these week old CMC fan accounts showing up just to trash Newton.

I've heard that 72.3% of percentages are made up
