Just listening to Moving the Chains on Sirius.

 

Jim Miller looked at the first half film of the Buffalo game and saw Cam make basic errors.

 

  • Not making simple reads
  • Missing open receivers
  • Not getting his feet set

 

Pat Kirwan expressed worry that Cam still has problems in year 3 and wondered if Cam can fix the problems.

 

Miller also critcized the first half run/pass ratio which was 30 passes and 10 runs.

Please don't shoot the messenger.

Ive been saying for going on 3 years now that CAM has issues with setting his feet. He's always throwing the damn ball off of his back foot. This cause a more arm shoulder throw and does not allow him to follow through with the pass. Making the pass sail high most of the time.

Yeah I heard this conversation.  The most concerning part they said about his development (or lack there of), was not being able to read the defensive coverage.  Simple "over/under" coverage was not being noticed by Cam, and that it's almost like he already knows who he's going to throw it to before the snap.

 

 

Who and who?

Rich Gannon (former OAK QB) & Pat Kirwin (former GM/position coach)

 

Both are very knowledgeable IMO

 

edit:  Sorry I thought it was Rich Gannon when I was listening.  Jim Miller was a QB for the Giants...

That is concerning. But what if this has to do with the move to a more traditional, conservative offense? I don't think Cam could have the explosive season he did like his rookie year and not be able to read a defense.

 

I just hope Cam isn't one of those players that's full of sht. Every week he talks about hard work and getting better. Yadayadayada. Cam is an exciting player but he needs to hit his stride soon.

And he still had 2 tds and 230 yards and had us in a position to win both games. damn get a good coach in carolina to work with him.

 

If you sit and think, it really is quite sad.

 

We draft a talent like Cam in 2011 first overall. Who do we hire to be his QB coach? Mike Shula, wait, who is this guy? Fast forward to 2013, Shula is OC, and who is Cam's QB coach this year? You guessed it, a cheap nobody.

 

Dorsey was hired as a scout here initially and has zero coaching background. The only QB worth a damn that Shula had worked with was the great David Garrard. Yet people want to run our quarterback out of town.

 

Remember all our special teams struggles? What do we do to alleviate this? Hire a new coach? Nope, we just promote from within and hope for the best and that the unit will magically turn things around out of nowhere.

 

Fans are screaming for Rivera's head, and yes that is deservedly so obviously, but he is just one of many bargain basement hires that have come right from the top. Until JR changes his ways, we aren't going anywhere.

I think Cam is just used to making throws on his arm alone.. And hes not used to stepping up in the pocket, rather escaping out the back. I can't imagine Cam not going through pocket presence drills in practice though, so i dont know what the deal is.

 

O-Line is the main cause here in my opinion.

Miller was with the Giants for his last year as a backup but his best years if you can call them that was with Chicago from 1998 through 2002.

You are blaming Shula and Dorsey for basic problems that Cam should have fixed in high school or college. Lets be real here, Shula and Dorsey have both worked on fixing Cam's bad habits as have Whitfield, Weinke and others.  This isn't rocket science.  Throwing off you back foot is a result of not being prepared to throw, holding the ball until pressure arrives and not stepping up because you don't want to or can't.  Reading defenses is a matter of watching film and applying it to game situations.  You can't keep scapegoating all the coaches.  The fact that this is year 3 and Cam is not fundamentally sound is on him and no one else.

      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.
