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.

      What to Consider when you Draft in Round 1

      By Growl · Posted

      fans view “box safety” with the same disdain they have when they hear “game manager” QB.   but there’s a reason most 1st round safeties are “box safeties”-it’s a much longer list of requisite skills to be a good box safety than it is to be a guy whose only real responsibility is to not get beat over the top. Fans crave the ed reed type and as someone who has never been able to enjoy this franchise having a guy like that, I get the enthusiasm-but I’m not really prepared to spend a first round pick on a free safety. If it happens it’ll be fun, it’ll address a need with a good player and that’s well and good. But those guys end up walking after their first contract because their pedigree usually outpaces what their teams feel like they’re adding to their overall win total.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By Basbear · Posted

      Its criminal that the upcoming season is mainly in the tiny hands of BY.  I still member the time I did a full turn, if you member his first off-season from that Panthers all-time worst team....... Answering questions at his first presser, he goes along the lines " I didn't do nothing, no weight room or throwing" " I needed to get away". I was fully out with him, the guy didn't even try to improve his football mind, body, strength, in the biggest joke of panther football. I could not believe it, what a leader or dare say "point guard"(lols @ NBA point guards as a ref)

      I view FS almost as the NT of the secondary. Oftentimes the true measure of his impact isn't necessarily in the plays that he makes but what he allows you to do with the rest of your defense to allow them to make plays. When you have that elite true sideline to sideline FS safety blanket over the top of the defense it allows you to be a lot more aggressive with everyone else. Where as when you have a Nick Scott as your last line of defense you gotta be mindful to not have to rely too heavily on that.
