Cam and his accuracy issues.

Recommended Posts

Does, or does he not have them? I believe he does. Some of it is partly because of other players mistiming or what have you but I do believe most of it is because of his mechanics. Throwing off his back foot. Making balls sail sky high. He has a rocket arm. The thing is he can improve. He actually has. It's consistency that he lacks. I have also noticed he is just horrid in the preseason. It's the truth. Not going to sugar coat it or have a "he can't do any wrong" perception of him. Anyway. Discuss.

Rather him stink it up in the preseason than during the regular season.

 

He could definitely improve, but so could the weapons around him. Mainly his O Line. Even when they are actually holding off the defense(which seems to be a rarity) it seems as though Cam is still uncomfortable, which isnt hard to fathom considering they rarely do their job well. It's almost as though he is always expecting them to fail, thats getting in his head and causing issues. He needs to trust the guys a bit more(i know, easier said than done) and thatll prob go a long way to helping him out.

It is too late in the night to get into all the specific stats and analysis but in a word... no.

Does he miss some throws? Yes. But if every throw was perfect he would be perfect and he is not perfect nor is any QB perfect..... perfect (just wanted to use that word one more time).

I think people think that because when he does miss, he has a tendency to miss spectacularly.

Last year he was second in comp% of passes that traveled over 20 yards in the air and threw way more if those passes than anyone in the NFL.

Part of a vertical passing game is throwing lower % passes. So 57% or so comp% is fine in this offense.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
