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.

    • Time to hit 4000 yards and 30 TDs (including rushing). I don't care about INTs anymore. That's a big part of the problem. He plays uber conservative until the game is on the line. Playing not to lose, instead of playing to win. Time to let it friggin rip from the get. The team can win with a pick or 2 if he has 3-4 TDs. Stop playing scared.  But to be fair, his WRs have not been great. You all can bash about 1st round picks and O-line cap all you want.  Chuba as your #1 RB his entire career.  Adam Thielen as your best WR for 2 of 3 seasons is ridiculous. Then a rookie as your best in the 3rd season. Legette is not a 1st round talent. Probably closer to a 4th if you compare him to Brazzel this year. Coker has been a walking injury report. Nothing else to really speak of at WR or TE. Jimmy Horn has potential, but he is not an NFL starter yet. Oline has been better as run blockers than pass blockers. Ickey has always been so-so as a pass blocking LT. Center has been a revolving door for 3 years. Damien Lewis has been as marketed. Hunt is a great run blocker but an ok pass blocker - when healthy. Moton has been solid at RT. Biggest problem with the oline has been depth. When someone went down, their replacement became a glaring weakness. Overall a good but not great unit the last 2 years. 2023 was a ish show. Nothing else to say.  Not one game breaker, take it to the house offensive weapon since DJ Moore. Hopefully we get a little of that from Brazzell.  Either way, in his 4th season, it doesn't matter. You have to be able to overcome whatever comes your way. First 3 seasons with a young supporting cast is defendable. Can't use that anymore though. 3rd year in the offense. 3rd year with the same HC.   
    • Highest amount of OL salary cap in the league too. The Chiefs are behind us at 2 but we are ahead of them by a cool $23 million. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/position/offensive-line/_/year/2026/table/active/sort/cap_total
    • I dont recall that happening to a qb but my memory has been crap the past few years
