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....

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
