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.

    • Darrell Jackson would be a fantastic pickup for us, I think he could replace 80% of what A’Shawn gave us last year. With more passing rush upside going forward in the future, I’m a big proponent of large framed defensive tackles. Pairing Derrick Brown with another 6’5 35inch arm length DT would be so fun to watch. Let’s continue being huge in the middle, allow our linebackers to flow to the ball uninterrupted.
    • Fully agree that the best thing to do is ignore them, which takes a away their thrill of thinking they got to you.
    • I agree with you on the pick of Thienemen in the first. I think he will still be there and he's a smart, fast and sturdy player. He's who we need back there. In the second, I like Rodriguez over Golday. I agree that off the ball linebackers are desperately needed here, even with our great FA pick up. I think with our third pick, we're going to dip into OT territory instead of the D-line. While I agree that we need another disruptor at the point of attack that is stout enough to just stonewall a center and a guard at the same time, we've got a shaky and expensive O-line at the present that is just about to age out of the game. I think we snag Blake Miller out of Clemson here and give him a year behind Moton to learn and put some weight and strength on. He can also jump right in and play right guard at any time. Also, and this might sound crazy, but anyone who has put up with multiple seasons at Clemson will be able to take the heat and humidity of training camp at the start of the season and early games against the NFCSouth.  Beyond that, your guess is as good as mine. We do need that QB for competition and realistically to study for back-up. Luke Altmyer out of Illinois seems to fit the mold of the point guard type QB that they want from Bryce. That'd make an apples to apples situation that could make coaching and game planning easy. On the other hand North Dakota State's Cole Payton could be an intriguing choice as well as a big dual threat guy. Both could be there for our fourth pick or both could be gone. Will QBs continue to slide this season like last? Who knows?
