Cam still struggling with footwork

I've noticed Cam sometimes throws with just his arm... he's athletic enough to pull it off most of the time (he has a big arm).

imo the problem Sunday wasn't mechanical in any way... he was trying to "force" things and make something happen. He just needs to learn a little more patience in tough situations... he's fine.

And he was only trying to force things because, for whatever reason, that's what Chud's gameplan became. Cam was forced to pass even though everyone in the stadium was expecting it. I think people should cut him some slack. I'm surprised he didn't get picked off more often considering how many times a pass play was called up.

He did an excellent job passing the ball, and I think even talking about Cam being a factor in this loss because of two turnovers is pretty lame. Cam and the defense were the only things that kept the game competitive.

These analysts look at the score, "only 10 points? Cam - 2 interceptions, huh?", and blame the obvious. Then they watch one play and "there's my article". I don't understand why people should value the opinions of analysts that watched less of the game than anyone on here.

Pretty liberal use of the word "struggling" in my opinion, and they only cited on play. Honestly, the decision to throw the ball was worse than his footwork.

This type of analysis is really getting out of hand. I can find a throw from every QB in every week of the season that wasn't technically sound. Sometimes you get caught, sometimes you don't. Eli Manning did this all the way to a superbowl.

Why not bring up the TD to Smith against the Saints* last year? That was awful footwork but it scored a TD.

critic's got to reach for something.

cam's grown as a passer in all aspects. one play in one game means just that...it was one play in one game. you can't base growth or a lack of growth on that.

crappy article and not because it busts on my QB. it's crap because of the sample size. he's cherry picking to try and prove a point...that cam is heading into his sophomore slump which i suspect he (the author) is only too happy to see ushered in.

      Glass houses and all. I find the people who are the most adamant about this type of thing tend to have the most to hide. Careful buddy.

      Also, wanted to point out, all 3 of the Pivot guys I respect and appreciate tremendously.  I know RC only had 1 pro bowl, but I loved his game.  He was tough as nails and played with a ton of heart and grit.  He was trying to knock people out, but was also super cerebral.  Fred is obviously a hall of famer and just as tough. Channing made the most of what he had and was hard-nosed as well.  And yet, all three of them let Steve slide on a ton of poo in this interview.  They actually cowered in several moments and I don’t like that at all.  Because for all the things I mentioned in my initial post in this thread, them not trying to reel him back in or hold his feet to the fire on certain bullshit, and feels gross.  Yall were all on the same competitive level as athletes, and yet, yall just let him skate on poo like talking about invoking using a gun on someone, laughing off how he essentially ended two teammates’ careers by BULLYING them and then co-signing it, and letting him completely sidestep accountability about his affair.  I get it, because apparently he invited you to his home to do the interview, but either talk some real poo or don’t do the interview at all.  This was some real softball poo.

      This season’s leader, Daniel Jones, is averaging 265.9 yards per game, that would rank 12th in 2015. Even going back to 2020, he would rank 10th in passing yards. So it does appear that passing yards is down, but is that because they aren’t as good? Possibly, but we were spoilt in recent years when we had Brady, Peyton, Brees, Rodgers, Roethlisberger, Rivers, Ryan, Stafford (etc). As crops of QBs go, it was an amazing era to watch and most will end up in the Hall of Fame. I’m not convinced you we could list as many potential Hall of Fame QBs from the current crop. Will it go pass heavy again? I think there’s a good chance that it will, but it will require QBs that can consistently air the ball out in the frequency we saw in the 00s and 10s. I think currently coaches are favouring a more balanced approach, if not favouring a strong running game.
