But Joe Brady is still the offensive coordinator

[ENCPantherfan2]

We have been giving him hell for weeks and calling for his head, all of a sudden we have Cam, and we can compete? Idk, with Brady at OC can you even trust him to use Cam's skillset to the fullest? 

[Fox007]

Well we'll see now won't we.

[jopie87]

No downsides today. Only happy thoughts.

Well, Brady is a "boy genius" of an OC so this should be pretty easy, right?

The reality is Brady has worked some zone read into his plays the past few years with Teddy and Sam.  That's now a much more important aspect of the playbook.  Cam can still make all the throws so as soon as Brady and Cam get on the same page, there should be zero training wheels.

Honestly, the team needs to let Cam be Cam.  Don't pull him unless he's hurt.  If he has a bad game, let him bounce back.  No more training wheels.  Heck, Brady should be thrilled at this development!

He still has to play behind the o line. That ain’t good.

Ya simplify the playbook as much as they can for the next few weeks while Brady develops a book conducive to Cam. Not the other way around they have with the past two quarterbacks playing what Brady wants. Let cam control the offense. It’s really Brady’s and possibly Rhules only hope of sticking around.
 

Maybe Rhule is already out the door back to college after this season anyways and that’s why Cam said ya he’ll come back.

A bad OC never stopped Cam before…

[rayzor]

he's done more with less.

and the way it looked, brady was trying to run the offense like cam was in it. now he's got the real deal.

Brady was handicapped with Sam imho.

We really don't need to Cam to be all zone read though. That's where we got into trouble in the first place.

I'd like to see Cam simply take over Darnolds responsibility  and see how much better the offense can run.

I don't think we'll be back to Cam getting 20 carries a game, but I do think the strategic use of the zone read is going to help slow defenses down and open up the rest of the offense.  He'll also be the redzone threat he's always been.

I have no doubt that Cam can do anything Darnold could do, just better.  God, if he cut down on the turnovers, got us 3 more 3rd down conversions a game, that's MILES better than Sam.
