FFS. This post wasn't an attack on Cam, but a point that tall QBs get batted passes too.

It's on the player, team, and coaches to fix. 

The article you linked said that Cam had eight through three games in 2015, we are on 12 with Mayfield. Not to mention, this was also an issue in Cleveland… it’s not just a Panthers thing. Mayfield had five passes swatted down in his last start for Cleveland against Pittsburgh. So over Mayfield’s last five starts, he’s had 17 passes batted down while playing for two separate teams.

It’s pretty damn obvious that 1) the ball trajectory is too low and 2) his best passes come from when his drop backs are extended.

The problem is that McAdoo likes to get the ball out quick which means all of Mayfield’s drop backs are at the most three step drops. It also doesn’t help that his release has slowed down since he entered the league.

I agree. My central point was height isn't the issue if Newton could have the issue (Osweiler also had it, being 6'6")

It's something else in Mayfield's game (and the offensive handling of him that needs to be addressed.

      Wild Idea.. Trade for Shemar Stewart

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
