Pretty disingenuous to knock Cam for a lack of fourth quarter comebacks. Numerous times he would get the team ahead only to have the defense blow it at the end. Or Deangelo Williams fumble. Or Ron just horribly mismanaging every aspect of the game. 

The stats don't really back this up... There is plenty of blame to go around, Cam included.

That's not knocking Cam, he's just simply pointing out a stat.

That said, I don't put nearly as much emphasis on "4th quarter comebacks" nor wins when it come to QB evaluation as many do.

Same.

Fourth quarter comeback means you were losing after the first three.

It's exciting to watch and all but I'd rather see us be consistent for an entire 60 minutes.

All props to Voth for digging that up, but trailing at the half is VERY different than being within one score, with the ball, in the fourth.  This year we lost 8 games by one score or less.  I'm pretty sure we had the ball in the fourth with a chance in all eight.

Those 35 games Voth is talking about, we have no idea how those games played out in the fourth.  Ok, we were trailing at the half.  Did we ever get within one score or were they blowouts?

We only had three not close losses this year.  Two of them were to the guys currently waiting to play in the Super Bowl . . . the second of which was tied at the half.  We also had a close loss to KC this year . . . a game we were leading at half time.

Not sure exactly what Voth was trying to do there.  Seems a little "spin-ish" to me.

I don't actually think he's trying to spin anything.

He's basically just pointing out that we're not very good, and haven't been for a while longer than just this past year.

Yep

Early in his career there were numerous times we would have a drive to tie or go ahead just to watch a porous D give it away

Maybe if we're talking year three or four.

His first couple of years, I remember him coming out and giving jaw dropping performances in the first half then fading in the second.

You can't coach player confidence.  You can give them a system, teach them the reads, drill those situations, etc.  But at the end of the day, you can't play for them.

As much as I like Teddy B the person, he doesn't have the IT a NFL QB needs.  Teddy is a perfectly serviceable QB who can win you some games.  But when you need the QB to make some plays, he's shown that he's too risk adverse.

Think about KC.  They are literally never out of it because we've seen for the past three season Patrick Mahomes do some bat-poo crazy things to score a boatload of points.  Or Brady?  Or even Brees?  What about Jake?  Or even Cam?  

You need a QB who you can get behind.  Not a QB who will keep you behind.

I understand what you are saying but I disagree  a d the article starts with 2018, not 2020

decisions coaches make during in game situations, end of half, end of game, sitting on leads, defensive alignments,  not making adjustments, play heavily on the outcomes

coaches also are part of personnel decisions  Rhule infuriates me because he had to know what Bridgewater was and if he didn’t, god help us.  I get Brady wanting his security blanket but the answer should have been ‘no’

rivera, knowing Cam was damaged, had zero backup qb plan   
 

it’s not like these things just happen  there was either willful ignorance or poor planing or poor decision making  in either case

To be completely fair to Cam, when we got a lead under Rivera, we had absolutely ZERO killer instinct.  We just shut it down and tried to kill the clock.  I don't think we can blame Cam entirely for some of that type behavior when it was fairly clear that it was cultivated by the coach.

I get that, and it's not like Rivera and his staff were ever known for winning the second half adjustment game.

That said, I remember being concerned about his second half performances those first few years. He got past it though, so that was good.

I agree that there are a lot of things that go into a 4th quarter comeback.  But at the end of the day, the QB is the most important position on a football team.  It is up the the marriage of the coach, OC, and the QB to make these plays happen.  There is so much that goes into that final 4-2 minute offense when the game is on the line.

But the coach can't suit up.  It's up to the QB.  If they can't pull the trigger when needed to make the plays, then what can you do?  Like how many times at the end of games did Teddy throw a 2 yard route on a 8 yards to go?  

At the end of the day, as a fan and keyboard warrior, I feel like we need someone who has the moxie and the playmaking ability to get the ball where it needs to go.  If Brady was the cause of Teddy's issues, then fire him and find someone else who can do a better job.

      Xavier Legette is the face of the NFL at the Kentucky Derby

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.
