I was talking with another Panthers fan last night. He thought Cam was wildy inconsistent. Brought up Cam throwing off his back foot too much. Also said he locks onto his receivers too much, and his read progression has not improved over the past few years. Last critique he had is he holds on to the ball too long like Big Ben. Do you guys think this is a solid assessment or was he just a little harsh? I've talked with other fans about this and some agree, some don't. This wasn't just a critique of last night. This was of the past few years as well.

Locking onto receivers was the big thing last night and this preseason at camp.

Did not get a long enough look last night to assess the rest. Don't think your friend drew all his conclusions from the short stint last evening.

I think your friend doesn't know what he is talking about. Cam didn't throw off his back foot even once, and his progression reading was good aside from the greedy INT. that first down throw to Smith, Cam didn't even look his way until a split second before he threw it, it was a great read.

He stepped up in the pocket well, didn't take a sack, never left the pocket and delivered a calm strike before getting leveled on the LaFell TD.

Again, your friend doesn't know what he's talking about.

The only thing that's solid there is staring down his target (He did it with Olsen twice that game, when there were other, open, targets.) But then other times he did a good job of it (The TD to LaFell)

 

I wouldn't worry about it it's game one of preseason.

It was in his personal view of the last couple years and last night.

Look, here's the thing on that INT: Cam wanted to play it too safe and convert the third down, so he locked on Olsen who had good position on the defender. He simply lost Bostic cutting underneath and couldn't squeeze the pass behind the LB, who made a great behind the back catch. It wasn't a good play by any stretch but it was one any QB is prone to making. Everyone wondered what the hell Peyton was thinking on his OT INT last season: it happens.

I weren't none to happy with all of Cam's throws last night. But then again, I ain't privy to his thought processes, so I don't know what he was trying to do. His mechanics looked good. As did his poise. He looked calm and collected, and in control. Other than his choices of where to throw the ball, he looked good to me.

That said. We had 4 turnovers and won. Who'd a thunk it.

I really hope we don't over analyze every single INT this year; I mean, people do realize no QB has ever played a full season without throwing them, right? Throwing a ball at five receivers in a minefield of 7 or 8 defenders is not exactly easy.

As long as the locking onto his first read doesn't become a constant feature in Cam's game then I was pretty happy with how he played last night.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
