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....

      Joe Person: Panthers really like Mason Graham and Jalon Walker

      By WhoKnows · Posted

      Jalen Carter came into camp out of shape too. That was part of the reason he dropped considering he was thought of as the better defensive player pre-draft activities. It’s not a good sign when you don’t look great but it’s definitely premature.

      We won 5 with the worst defense in the history of defenses.  I think free agency and our draft puts us over 6.5.

      T-Mac Jerseys?

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Leaning towards just ordering this tonight, but now I have no idea on size. Has anyone bought a bunch of jerseys in the last few years and can convey how the Game vs Limited vs Reebok versions all fit? These are both Mediums... The white one here is a Reebok one from 2010, and was when they had the "+2 length" on the tag and it was the version with the stitched numbers instead of iron on... the blue one is from 2022 and is the F.U.S.E Limited version also with stitched stuff, not the "game jersey" with the ironed on numbers/letters that they have the T-Mac jerseys in. The old one fits me fine, the blue one was always a tad snug on me, particularly in the shoulders I'm leaning going with a Large based on the CMC, but for all I know, that is made with a tighter cut due to the higher "limited" level and the "game" ones they have for T-Mac are cut more like a T-Shirt and thus will fit more like the old white one I have here, not sure. (and yes, I already tried going to a sporting goods store here to hopefully try on a Lions jersey to see, but they don't have any right now)
