Cam's footwork.

Anyone else seeing how good Cam's footwork is getting? Sometimes, seriously, he reminds me of Peyton's footwork when he is dropping back, and moving around the pocket.

It's not perfect by any means, but you can see the improvement.

Watch the footwork on that TD pass to Smitty.

Caaaam. WHOOOA CAAAAM

I've said it elsewhere: when Cam sets his feet properly, he can make any throw anywhere on the field with fantastic precision. Every time I see him throw a high pass I say to myself "ah, he didn't set his feet."

Chris Weinke talked about this from when he was working with Cam before the draft, in that he was very surprised that people harped on Cam's mechanics when there were really only two minor issues with it: he sometimes didn't get his shoulders level, or he wouldn't lead with his front foot properly. Once those kinks were tweaked, he said Cam blew him away with his accuracy.

Time and repetitions will make him that much more consistent and dangerous as a passer.

Improved but still needs some work. I just can't wait to see him next season.

I agree, it's better but I'd love to see him be more consistent from game-to-game: he has had good halves (2nd half vs. Washington) and bad halves (2nd half vs. Atlanta.)

One thing I've really enjoyed seeing of late is when he rolls out and points towards receivers to direct traffic, like that superb throw he made to LaFell to get us in FG range against Tampa a few weeks ago, or against Houston the throw he made to Shockey on the run that the corner popped out.

He's growing up rapidly, folks.

As Deion would say...

Back to being serious. His footwork is very impressive. I dont only think its good now though. Since the beginning of the year it's looked very good. Your right though it's getting better.

    • This is why they'll lose. The draft pick value is substantial vs. minimal cap impact.
    • You keep mentioning the impact on the salary cap, but that's literally not the point with all these 2nd Rounders, it's all about precedent and it being a slippery slope that would lead to more fully guaranteed contracts for veterans. That's what the teams are making sure this doesn't get to, because yes, you're right, the guarantees for a 2nd rounder won't have significant cap implications if the player doesn't work out.  But you give that fully guaranteed 3-4 year contract to a FA who then shits the bed in year 1 and never regains the form that got them the contract, then yes, it's going to screw up your cap management and won't be a rounding error. And you can say it's a big leap to go from guaranteeing a 2nd round pick's contract to a big FA signing, but it's really not.  Once teams start giving them out, it's only going to keep growing and be insisted upon by agents in other situations and once the ball starts rolling down the hill, it's going to be impossible to stop it's momentum. Also, the only reason a 2nd rounder's contract would be a rounding error, is explicitly because contracts aren't guaranteed and teams can finagle the cap hits with various tactics.  Once contracts become more and more guaranteed, that won't be as easy to do, if even possible at all, and those individual rounding errors become serious problems in totality.
