I didn't read entire thread, because I'm lazy, but I heard someone call into WFNZ one day and make a very valid point.  This guy said he's coached at most levels of sports and one thing he notices is Cam hardly EVER has a "clean pocket" to throw in.  Not only is Cam hit quite often, but he very seldom has a clean pocket.  The caller said he'd guess, on a low number that 50% of the time he does NOT have a clean pocket, and more likely than not it's higher than that.   I know Cam has made mistakes, but how many of those are due to clean pocket issues or just mistakes?   Not to mention he probably doesn't even trust his blocking.  When you don't have a clean pocket it messes up your timing, which is vastly important for QB's and their receivers.  It's not to really judge a guy when his offensive line is terrible and he's handcuffed by his coaching staff.

On a related note, I have thought for years now G play was more important for Cam than T play....and our G play is HORRIBLE.

Cam actually likes the pocket and wants to step up and make his home there. Too consistently he can't. The fact he is so big and has such a long stride.... IMO means he needs a little more room to legitimately step up and keep good footwork

      Monroe Freeling’s lovely GF

      With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.

      Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.

      Jeremy Fowler: Panthers draft day intel

      Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
