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.

    • That can be a chicken or the egg scenario. Canales knows what the QB is good at and is not good at better than we do.  He would have reasons for not calling deep shots, if he is holding back. They could include protection concerns, as well as any Young related motivations.  I think there always the chance Bryce doesn’t see the man open down the field and it is just that simple, more than a confidence issue. Probably a mix of the two.   
    • This is a partially bad take.  Willis is the only guy mentioned here that can reasonably be expected to perform at a level higher than Bryce.  Winston and Minshew is washed, and Howell was not good in Washington as a starter and didn’t field a single snap this past year. I swear the only reason people are obsessed over him is that he went to UNC.  You’re not going to have better success, or even potential for success with those guys as your QB as you would with Bryce. Now, if you want to argue this thing from a production per dollars perspective, that it’d be better to roll with one of them instead because we could allocate the savings elsewhere on the roster, that’d be a better argument IMO. I’d disagree with it; relying on a QB making less they $5MM/year that isn’t on a rookie contract is not a winning strategy.  But I could see the argument that it’s possibly a viable alternative to Bryce on a $25MM/year contract.    But no, none of those QBs are better than Bryce. 
    • No team hits on every pick.  Every coach and GM will eventually get fired.   We are a better team and have greatly increased the talent on the roster. Bad GMs lead to losses.   I love the teams current setup in the front office and the process in how we look at talent and coaching.  Canales has often said we want to have a player developmental philosophy as a core tenant.  I love that combined with cutting edge analytics and good football knowledge and experience.
