So this is supposed to be our new QB

The injury that resulted in the rotator cuff surgery happened that day. Cam was still slinging it in 2018. If you're arguing the Watt hit wasn't the final straw for that shoulder we'll just have to agree to disagree. No problem.

Cam was already limited at practice before the Steelers game because of his shoulder. Think he was added after the Eagles game. And if my memory is correct, he did not even throw during that week before the hmm was it Ravens the week after?

Anyway. Obviously the Tj Watt hit was not what busted his shoulder again. It was already messed up. 

His stats that season, before and after the Steelers game, was the same.

Honestly I wouldnt even care about Young's size but watching him have to run into a 50 yard thrown ball, that cuts out a a huge option of deep balls. No one will respect that Safeties will break up sooner if the balls not thrown. I'm trying to get behind it but it looks like Mayfield fans calling for this, He just has it! Does he?

Is it just me or does Young look way more like Geoff than CJ? I watched CJ chunking 65 with a flick. Mind you I called Reggie Bush a bust. Translation is everything. How anyone thinks a guy who is never under center, backyard footballs the shizz out of it and can barely throw the ball 50 yards on a run will translate, it just baffles me.

You mean this one?

I have no idea how far he throws it, but whether it's 50 yards or 65 yards, or 99 yards, safeties won't be able to ignore it. He can clearly throw 50 yards and hit receivers in stride with his feet planted.

Absolute dimes…he did this his entire career.  The double move by JWilliams and still putting perfectly in stride is nuts

The first pass was this past season, the receiver clearly has to slow down on his route to catch the ball and ends up getting tackle before goaline because of it. 

Second pass was back in 2021 when he was definitely slinging it a lot harder and hitting guys in stride. He wasn't throwing like that this past season. No zip, velocity   and balls were hanging in the air way to much to where receivers had to adjust on routes for catches.

Both look like 50 in the air to me. Top video the WR has to slow up a small bit to wait to catch it. If it hits him in stride it’s a TD. 
 

Bottom video he underthrew it and the WR had to turn back to catch it. Also had three full seconds to throw the ball and no pressure around him at all. 
 

He has the arm to complete throws in the NFL but he’s going to have to be more pinpoint accurate than some of the others at the top of this class.

    • Basically agree.  He is the one of that bunch that offers upgraded pass catching along with he is supposed to be kind of special.   Then you have the OL and the ideas that if they perform you can have JAG backs and still do well. So okay we could be fine.  But Brooks is important and to me that receiving element sets him apart.  So there sure is something riding on him.     What strikes me as incongruent is people over in Atlanta or those that follow them look at Penix with a third surgery and act like it is no big deal.      And we are on pins and needles over Brooks.  Either they should worry a lot more or we should worry a lot less.  
    • I usually go a game or two optimist over the consensus here but this is too early for me to say. I need to see some players on the field.  I am not feeling real optimistic though.  
    • Okay as a ‘take CJ’ fan I actually don’t obsess over CJ and Houston, contrary to the narrative.  But I thought I picked up some noise that his OL left a lot to be desired.    Not a single Beyce supporter would judge him harshly if he had a crappy OL. We all know that.    So be fair about it.  A QB needs to be protected.  Especially a guy that gets to his spot and wants to finish the play from there. Which CJ is.
