Would a slot or outside receiver help Cam the most?

I like what I see from TAustin and feel either out of the backfield or in the slot could be a real playmaker.I think we could pick up a big body receiver on the cheap for third downs and red zone.To me he is the most dynamic play maker in the draft.

Anybody here think Cam isn't accurate enough at the moment for a tavon Austin? recievers like him and Weller thrive on precesion

I think Cam is more accurate than Geno and he he was able to get the ball to him. I know he is not a popular choice but watch 3 hours of game film on him and and watch 3 hours on any other wr in the draft and draw your own conclusion.

All I know is Tavon in the slot is a mismatch for any nickel corner or LBer in coverage. Furthermore, he can open up the middle of the field for Olsen. I also wouldn't be surprised if his ability to go vertical developed nicely. He is just so agile, quick, and fast that he is going to get open especially when Cam is able to extend plays with his feet and buy some time. Defenses will have to account for Tavon and our opponents will usually have to have a safety whose job is to make sure he doesn't get behind them or get to the second level of a defense in the open field.

The kid flat out can move the chains. He will always make someone miss and when he does and gets into the open field...he is a home run threat to go the distance.

Guys like him with very strong arm, dinking and dunking doesn't work well. They get impatient. They're suited better with taller receivers. Smith is just too short to be a #1 for any team. Great player, but 5'8 players have to be in the slot like Welker and Cruz. When your slot is your #1 deep threat, well, you have the panthers.

Well, Steve is just losing steps....in his prime he could be the #1 on any team. Delhomme use to throw endzone fades to him routinely...he plays bigger. Was always the exception to the rule.

Cam doesn't need big...he needs fast and creates separation downfield. His legs are his pass game

The big time, home run receiver. Tall, lanky, can outrun the defense over the top.

Like CRA, Cam's game is about hitting the soft zones in the defense with 8-9 yard plays to the slot receiver, his game is about the 40 yard TD route after escaping.

Patterson would be the perfect fit, imo.

    • No, you're right. It doesn't mean you can't call out his flaws and poor play. But it also doesn't mean you can't admit when he plays well and shows improvement. Not you personally, just in general I mean.
    • I will say, I do think there's a version of Bryce that could be really successful as a high-volume passer in a spread-based offense built around quick throws and timing-based intermediate throws with deeper throws schemed up around them. I actually think the power run based offense we're running is a poor fit for Bryce as it requires him to play under center far more often. It's a very traditional offensive approach whereas I think a scheme that spreads defenses out and lets Bryce distribute the ball quickly with anticipation and accuracy is the sweet spot for him. The key, of course, is to find a way to run the ball efficiently out of those formations. Our personnel right now (backs and OL) aren't good fits for that style of offense and I'm not sure it's a scheme Dave Canales favors very much either.
    • I root for him, and I hope for the best, as does essentially everyone. But that doesn’t mean you can’t call out flaws and bad plays. And that’s what a lot of people get wrong.  I hope I’m wrong and that he continues to improve a lot, I just doubt it. But I’ve been wrong before
