Cam's throw to Shockey was amazing!!

Not the TD throw; the incompletion when Cam was nearly sacked, got his legs rapped up, and then threw the ball 27 yards down field, on a rope, with no legs, while falling down to Shockey who was interfered with (which wasn't called) or else it damn well cold have been a completion.

It clearly wasn't Cam's best decision of the night. But looking back on the throw, to throw the ball with that much velocity, 27 yards down field, without his legs, and in a game situation, is simply incredible

It is around the 2:40 mark of this clip.

Another cool little thing I noticed is on the very next play when Newton breaks off a 20 yard run Steve Smith is completely pumped up after the run. He is pumping his fists and talking poo. I love guys like him who get pumped up after big plays even if he isn't the guy with the ball. I love me some Smitty.

he made the right decision.

the days of playing it safe and being a game manager are over. if cam has the ability to make throws like that - which he clearly does - fug taking the sack, if we wanted that we'd start clausen.

personally i look forward to these types of throws in the future.

He made the right decision, but it has nothing to do with being conservative or aggressive. The fact was that the ball was thrown at a great place, the defender didn't turn around in time and there was some interference there. The matchup was good, the risk was actually much smaller than what people think it was. That made my jaw drop.

meh. just another incomplete pass. I get a tad more excited when he completes them. Every QB in the league can make that throw (incompletion.) He did show amazing athletic ability to get the throw off though.

It wasn't an incomplete...Check ur video again. The ball was right at shockley's gut. It looked like the Steeler grab his hand, not knock the ball down.

    • He's not wrong though. You talk like a politician on here. Leaving yourself just enough wiggle room to say you never fully counted Bryce out if you need to....But we can all see it. Just say you think he is a bust outright and you will have to type a lot less. Obfuscating your opinion behind QB3 competitions etc....
    • Most EVs are in the 90+ e-MPG meaning some measurement house somewhere compares the EV to a similar ICE model and works out how much is costs to charge (on average) versus fill up as a point of comparison. Talking long term, in the hundreds of thousands of miles?  No clue.  Some early signs are that EV batteries maintain 80% charge over 400k miles.  So there's that.   The challenge and charm of an ICE vehicle is being able to park it under a tree, get your jack stands out and tinker with your engine.  There's just not that same level of complexity in an EV.  I saw someone estimate there are 200 or so moving parts in an EV, and 2000 in an ICE vehicle.  I'm not a part counter so I can't really speak to that. I think that the EV is more the future than any type of combustion engine.  Those will still be around in specific purposes, but for most people - an EV will be the superior option in terms of efficiency.  I say that as someone who loves stupid horsepower numbers out of turbo 4 bangers and inline 6s...  I am one of those tinkers when I can be. A bigger issue for EVs is going to be the ownership versus lease.  Right now, there are INSANE leases on EVs, which is great, but what do you have at the end of that lease?  Nada, maybe some equity if you're lucky.  Where as I'm almost done paying for my car, and plan to keep it until the wheels fall off (or my son wrecks it when he starts to drive).  Will EV makers do the smartphone thing and build in planned obsolesce?  Stop updating software?  I love the tech in EVs, and I think getting more cars and trucks off the road is a good thing.  But I am still just a little concerned.  Capitalism has gotten far too extractive.
