40% completion rate

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.

      Barnwell - Ranking WR, TE, RB Groups in NFL

      By TD alt · Posted

      Now now now, I wouldn't say there is no logic, but there's just not a lot of in-depth thought put into Barnwell's  "analysis." Now to be fair to him (and other national writers), pre-season team rankings are basically clickbait. And...Barnwell, himself, said that "there's a lot of projection here." He basically admits that he doesn't know how the hell things are going to turn out with our receiver group. He also said that "I find myself" more intrigued by Coker than Legette; that does not mean that he said that fans should be, or that Coker will even be better than Legette (regardless of ESPN's per-route-run stat). So, yeah, Barnwell said some things, but even he has to basically admit that he doesn't know how bad or good that our playmakers will be in 2025.  Overall, what Barnwell is basically thinking is that the Panthers have gotten worse at the offensive skill positions, and baked into that is that others have gotten better. That's the argument in July (meaning, please don't give this any more weight than it's due). I would personally be surprised (not shocked) if we end up worse than the Titans, Pats and Giants at least. Once you throw in the Bills, Giants, Jets, Steelers, and even the Chargers, I personally think there are several teams' skill groups that may end up ranked lower than ours by the end of 2025.  @kungfoodudeis one of my dudes, but like others he is over the tipping point. He's had enough. Seeing is believing. I will say this though: Barnwell's piece is less about logic than just good ol' opinion. And to be honest, he might as well be a Huddler throwing out sh¡t in the summer based upon nothing but good feels or bad feels.  Our offense as a whole (just like any other team's) is going to depend upon the play of the O-line and especially the QB. How you can even rank the skill positions without expressly baking those two things in the cake is beyond me. I would dare say that that's not even logical.

      Football is not the professional sport where timidness and apprehension are justly rewarded.

      Bryce Young had a super high floor definitely at least won't be a bust safe pick we allegedly had seen in some time.......and went on to have one of the worst rookie seasons of all time.  They are all lotto picks.  And that is especially true for whatever they will be day 1 in the NFL.  I don't think Tmac is a sure thing year 1.  It's not like we watched him do his thing in the SEC.  He was a PAC12 guy.  I'm sure it will take time
