I was trying to look for the podcast again. Basically he was saying Cam isn't ready and is only throwing 45% in preseason so far..granted its preseason. He had a few more points he mentioned as well. I was looking for others who heard it as well to fill in the blanks.

it's preseason.

it was his first start.

it was his second game.

he's still very green

right side of the line was nothing but backups.

he didn't have steve smith.

he was facing a pretty good defense (finished top 10 in passing D and rushing D)

panthers didn't game plan.

sooo...yeah...his results aren't going to be all that great.

Bradford's real coming out party was preseason Game 3.

I expect the same for Cam.

They are "gameplanning" but really thier biggest accomplishment will be rallying the team (and the fans) behind the franchise QB.

if you look at a lot of rookie QBs that started as a rookie, their "coming out party" was week 3 of preseason. for many, though, it was their first start.

      ESPN's Top 10 Impact Rookies(non-1st Round)

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Scourton's interviews are telling to me that it's only a matter of time before he could really put it together.  His limitation tool-wise that I see is in his bend, but at the leaner size, it looks like it wasn't a problem at Purdue.   He has a good moveset and reads leverages very well (vet level well).  Plays both the speed/quickness (great change of direction) and has a power game with good hand usage.  Moves from what I've seen in my digs: I'm seeing cross-chop, fake crossers into bull, bull rush, spin (his preferred move of choice), hand shuck.  He's not unrefined by any means.   If he can do 2 things---I'm feeling confident from seeing his interviews that we have a real dude on our hands: 1) Diversifying his moveset/how it's deployed - Over-reliant on some, but again, he has a growing palette.  And is already great with his hands so things are in-place to coach up. 2) Developing a counter moveset and starting to play the chess game with an OT - He's very good at reading leverage, knowing when to change things up during a play.  But NFL coaching should start to teach him how to really create a plan based on an opponent.  What to throw at a guy first, how to confuse with fakes/counters, etc.  How to play against these tackles as a game progresses.   Overall, he has some things that give me serious optimism: Run Defense, speed moves, power moves, he's super young and has the size/length.  When you really spell it all out, I think we should get excited.  Temper expectations from a stat sheet standpoint, but he should be able to go in and make an impact.

      Scourton may not get double digit sacks, but he won't be a liability on every other down
