You'd also want to compare who was catching the passes on the left side more often. I'd be willing to be Olsen and CMC have worked that side more. Better targets improve reception completions.

Cam also tends to move, or flee, to his right, depending on the situation, bringing not just rushers, but also pulling DBs and LBs with him. Moving right and firing back to the left has been one of his bread and butter moves throughout his career.

That being said, even making for these allowances, this is far from his best work, even compared to some of the last half of last season. It's not just the arm strength, he just isn't as accurate as we has, even after the injury.

If the pass that was thrown was uncatchable, what does it matter who the target was? :thinking:

Sorry, was speaking to the overall better success rate to that particular side. Uncatchable is pretty much uncatchable, no matter who is on the receiving end.

That’s likely a positive

Yeah assuming Cam can't do it anymore we'll need several seasons of draft picks to replace the old core, Cam, Olsen, Luke, ect, and we'll need to upgrade the o-line and find a #1 WR. It would be fantastic if Cam could bounce back and play out his contract, but early signs are not looking good.

Yeah it’s really bad and he’s farther from #2 than #2 is from #6

About 67% worse, right?

Seriously, it doesn't take a slide rule (dating myself) to know, through even a casual observation, that he constantly missed open receivers to the right last week.

I'll say it again, it's not the vegan diet, it's not the ankle, it's not even the shoulder -- it's  (so far, I hope) the inability to follow or trust the mechanics he's recently been taught, when he's trying to turn to face a target to his right.  The hesitancy on that double-clutch proves it.

When he straightens That out -- or reverts to his old natural delivery -- we'll see startling improvement.  Too much talent there,  not to.

Doesn't it depend on what the definition of uncatchable is? Sometimes he throw away the ball over the sidelines or "ground it" towards a player but if these are included there are a few factors that could explain part of it. The other is of course bad mechanics.

Who the receiver is, could be one. Obviously also if different routes are being used on the sides...

The "typical" read progression. Maybe his first read normally are to the left and if any target aren't open he end up throwing it away to the right when being pressured.

Throw aways and spikes are not included in this stat

Clearly I dont get a grip of this.

Spikes, obviously not.

Because surely intentional grounding must be excluded,  or?

What I meant with throw away and "ground it" is when you avoid the intentional grounding ruling but it's clear to everyone that no one will catch the  ball. Lets say, 3 meters above the receiver/db so it goes out over the sidelines or towards a receiver/dB but 5 yards short so it lands on the behind him. Couldn't these be considered underthrown and overthrown and therefore be included in this uncatchable stats. Avoiding a ruling but we all know it was never meant to be catchable.
