While that does not indicate how effective he was with long balls, it does suggest that he was below average before he entered 2018-`19--and we now know how that worked out.  About the difference he was making as a runner--that too was in steady decline:

And if you take a look at Cam's career stats vs. the league...Folks, Cam was never great.  He was exciting and he was a great athlete, but our defense in 2015 was the story---This is Cam's accuracy rating vs. the league--get mad if you want, but accuracy is the most important attribute of a QB---and it coincides with timing.  In 2015 (Cam's best season) his accuracy was rated 20th in the league and his running ability accounted for 0.2 points a game.  Remember, these stats are pre-shoulder, pre-foot injury.  Blame the line, blame the WRs---good argument, but you cannot assume that the rest of the league did not have similar issues.  Finally, his accuracy rating ranged from 67% to 72%- averaging in the bottom third of the league for his career.

Season Accuracy rate Rank
2011 68% 20th
2012 69% 23rd
2013 72% 13th
2014 67% 26th
2015 72% 20th
2016 65% 29th
2017 69%

28th

He was never great... he probably just accounted for more of his team's offense than any player in the history of the league. Our failure with Cam was failing to prioritize putting a high caliber offense around him, particularly on the OL.

No, he was a leader and he motivated those around him.  Teddy brings a different personae-one that we have not seen for a while.  I compare him to Steve Berlein to some degree.  I would say that Cam's window (statistically and physically) seems to be closing rapidly---maybe not fair. 

In 2015, that D gave Cam the ball a lot--great field position, more chances.

Cam is the kind of player that you do not want to disappoint as a player--you see him giving it all he has, sacrificing his body--and you do too.  So yes-good point.  Not everything is measurable. I was actually surprised to see him so low in these ratings.

I, for one, look forward to Teddy having his first bad game for ANY reason and gets bashed on this board ... by the very same people that gave Cam every excuse under the sun when he had a bad game. The hypocrisy will be delicious.

Teddy will be fine. Is he elite? No. Is he better than a back up? Yep. He is a "starter"? Yep. And he's our starter.

 

And you will be in that thread or any thread having to do with Cam, guaranteed. Weird for someone who was annoyed by the man.

drew brees is also a game manager these days TBH

saints offensive gameplan is: throw slants to mike thomas or dump off to kamara

 

panther's offensive gameplan is: throw slants to DJ Moore or dump off to CMC.

As long as we're moving the chains, I am fine with that plan!

Where did  you get that stat?  According to this as of 2018 he was 4th since the year 2000.

That's looking at yardage. Look at points. No QB has ever piled up rushing TDs like Cam. He's 4th since 2000 in yards but I'd bet he's 1st in percentage of points by a wide margin.
