What do you attribute to Cams shaky start today...

First, lets give him credit, he was poised and made the right throws to lead us down the field to have a game winning drive in the 4th. However, he was shaky a lot of they with overthrowing guys, what do you attribute it to? Was it his ankle and he was timid to step into throws, was it just him being a rookie? FYI, im not worried either I know Chud, Rivera, and Shula will all sit down and disect and correct it.

I think we finally saw him act like a rookie. Why? Don't know, maybe b/c he 'knew' he should win this game & was pressing too hard. I think he will get it corrected...with the help of the coaches. He has shown that he's very coachable.

BTW, I do not like your avatar. Cam is our superstar, not a criminal! Yeah, I drank the kool-aide. :-)

If he has time in the pocket and is throwing it high then it's all mental. I think his mechanics are great unless he his rushed and that tends to put him in the throwing off his back foot mode. Everyone was comparing him to MJ and Tiger Woods all week on the Tele'. I think he was nervous and thinking about things too much. He will adjust.

Playcalling had nothing to do with missing wide open receivers.

Agreed Jack. Not sure how that could be based on playcalling. I don't even agree with the comments some made about his foot. He stepped into his throws & ran with it. I did not see him favor that foot at all.

Cam's foot is why I think he was inaccurate today, but we kept calling pass plays down the field when Cam was struggling instead of more screens or short passes or more runs. So yes play calling had it's share in why Cam struggled.

    • I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.
    • I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
