Cam's accuracy issues overblown

Not saying was accurate....

Not saying he doesn't need work.....like throwing off his back foot

But all in all, I wouldn't say Claussen looked more accurate worth noting.....when Cam was in with the starting OL I thought he was just as accurate but better with his throws mainly bc of how well he anticipates pressure vs Clausen. Both made some nice throws and both made good throws that could of been better.

considering Cam had 2 weeks to prep for his first preseaon game.....his first drive was VERY impressive.

On the night Cam had many throws that went down as incompletions......and many of those were good balls that he gave our players chances to make a play (like LaFell in the end zone going back to him, a couple shots to Charley and Olsen down the sideline, the 3rd down drop to Armanti).......THAT really stood out for me at least. Kid could of had a much better game on top of what we saw.

Good night overall....Cam could be on pace to start week 1. But it is also nice to know Jimmy has made some nice steps forward and that he looks like he could actually go part of the season if asked without it looking like his year under Fox...

But it is early.....and we still don't know where these guys really will be when the season starts. But signs look good. Go Panthers!

The pocket presence Cam showed was incredible. I didn't feel the fear I normally feel when Jake/Jimmy where about to throw the ball. I felt quite comfortable, put my Newton smile on, and let him go out there and have fun! Hell, even when the kid went 3 and out he had a big grin! He loves playing football! He loves the game! And he is a hard working competitive player that will be a great QB in this league for the next decade! He will continue to get better each and every week! Go get 'em Cam!

Best analysis of Cam I've read so far. My thoughts exactly. We can debate whether to call some of those plays drops but fact is, Smitty probably makes the catch on some of those plays where LaFell or Clowney didn't. Still some stuff to improve on, Friday night will be interesting if Cam runs with the starters.

His accuracy wasn't bad. A few throws were behind the receiver or two low, but that is to be expected. And he made a few bad decisions, but that also is to be expected. Hopefully, both will improve with time and experience.

I was happy to see him stay in the pocket, and not take off. But I wonder if that was his call, or the coaches? Or if a good running situation never presented itself?

Cam played like you'd expect. His footwork and mechanics weren't consistent on every play, he threw off his back foot a few times (he'll learn not to do that), but he also made some good throws and found the open man, he took what the defense was giving him when he should. He didn't try to scramble for yards, he stayed behind the line and tried to make a play with his arm. And, most importantly, I don't think he made one throw where the defender could've intercepted it. Not bad at all.

Also, worth noting.....from the Giant fans on their forum

The Giants forum gameday thread. They were very impressed by Cam. Not so much by Clausen. Didnt read what they had to say about Anderson....

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      They traded away their 1st next year also to get James Pearce Jr. Really hope this blows up in the Falcons face. I don't care how it happens, I just want to win the division this year. Zero sympathy for other team's issues. And our pass rush looks like it needs all the help it can get.

      I would have released him this season, tbh and worked with Christensen out there.

      Level Of Enthusiasm Going into Game 1

      By Seltzer · Posted

      10/10. We're due for some good luck, and I think this team is much better than what we've had the last 2 seasons. Defensive injuries could derail us b/c our depth there is still questionable. Still worried about the pass rush getting pressure without blitzing. Pleasantly surprised by the secondary and run defense.  Dan Morgan has done a lot to resurrect this roster from the deplorable position Fitterer left it in by showing some scouting chops with hitting on these guys drafted in the later rounds or UDFAs. Lathan Ransom & Corey Thornton both look like they fit this scheme and the NFL isn't too big for them.  I'm as excited for the rookie trifecta of T-Mac, Scourton, and Princely as I can remember. On paper, this offense is the most talented since 2021, maybe 2017, and maybe 2015. None of that means this team will produce any better, but this team has offensive talent & depth like we have rarely had in team history. If you don't believe me, go Google it. We've had some awful offensive collections overall in many years, to varying degrees mitigated by superstar talents like Steve Smith, Christian Mccaffrey, or Cam Newton.  I honestly think the collective offensive talent in 2025 may be better, but Cam was so otherworldly in 2015 & 2017 that he covered any flaws. Seriously, though, Cam doesnt get enough love for 2017. I think that may have been his best season. In general, Cam doesn't get enough respect IMHO. Both in college and in the NFL, Cam took teams that without him would have had no chance and won. True definition of a guy who elevated his team. To be clear, I am in no way am I saying this team will be better than 2017 or 2015. My point is that the offensive talent is there on offense if Bryce can unlock it.  I've been a Bryce supporter, but there are no excuses not to perform with this group. This isn't the disaster we gave him in 2023 or a new scheme like in 2024 where I think he hadn't mentally removed from his rookie season to start. I dont know how you couldnt be excited about that. And we still compete in a division that isn't insurmountable. I got got in 2023 like most of us in buying into the team propaganda, but in general, I think I'm pretty realistic about the team. I knew in my heart we would be bad last year. I wasnt expecting the defense to be that bad or Bryce to start off that poorly, but I had no expectations whatsoever for making the playoffs. And I genuinely think we will be competitive all year this season. I think we win 8-9 games and compete for the division. I think the ceiling is 11 wins, and the floor is 7. The good news is after next week, we will all be proven right or proven wrong. Keep Pounding!
