Greg Cosell: Cam has no consistency

After reviewing the first two weeks' game tape, here is what Cosell had to say. It ain't good.

"You know, every once in a while, he teases with his arm talent, but there's no consistency to his play," Cosell said. "And there's two things that you need ... No. 1, he's very erratic with his accuracy and, No. 2, he does not see the field well. And it's really hard to be a quality NFL quarterback when you're lacking those two things."

He does not throw the ball with consistency. There's very little refinement to his game. He's just a big man with a strong arm," Cosell said on this week's FantasyGuru.com Podcast.

I think this speaks to the quality of his coaches, because I don't think anyone questions Cam's work ethic or desire to improve.

well, his QB coach left him for a better paying gig.

 

shula should have stayed as his QB coach and the team should have hired a different OC.

 

i thought having shula as his OC was supposed to be better for him.

 

but hey....at least cam is learning how to be a game manager and he's also learning how to throw into a bucket.

Rayzor and I discussed in another thread... I think these coaches are trying to shoehorn Cam into playing the way they want not the way he plays best.

 

He's trying to think too much instead of just playing... Cam is more of an instinctual type player...

 

Look what happens when we either speed up the tempo or he gets in trouble and has to scramble... he's brilliant.

Brilliant, no. He does amazing things when he runs. But can he scramble and make a pinpoint pass over 10 yards, fug no. He's no Russell Wilson or Big Ben when it comes to throwing on the run, throwing as in, you know being a QB.

Yes, he can and does.

Giving cam a few very quick high percentage passes once in a while would help.

 

Giving him a bunch of worthless passing plays that take 5 seconds to develop is killing his career.

 

 

When the season is over Cam needs another couple months with Weinke in Florida and come back to OTA's when a legit offensive coaching staff is in place.

      NFL admits the TMac catch should not have been overturned

      By PanthersATL · Posted

      They said there wasn't clear evidence to warrant the overturn.  How would it have made a difference at that point in the game?   https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nfl-privately-admitted-to-erroneous-reversal-of-catch-by-panthers

      WWE pay per view and programming thread

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Me, I'm sick of WWE channel hopping their PLEs and shows. Netflix now with Raw. USA still has Smackdown but you can't get it with Roku if you don't also have cable. Then they went from all the PLEs on Peacock to ESPN+ which required upgrading your Disney+ package. Then they frikkin' move Saturday Night Main Event with John Cena's retirement match back over to frikkin' Peacock, which we'd just cancelled two months prior because no PLEs there anymore. And there are fewer, but longer matches and its the same danged stories again and again. Rematch after rematch after rematch between PLEs. Fewer matches, fewer wrestlers, more promos (of lesser quality) and less action.  It just seems like it's all fillers and re-runs. I'm tired of Cody Rhodes. I'm tired of Jey Uso. I'm tired of the two Brons. Shuffle the deck a bit guys, this game's getting stale.

      Going for it instead of leading by two scores in the 4th

      Chuba was 3 yards behind the 3 gap. He was lined up weak offset I. It was a 33 dive. Chuba needed to power through off of Ekwonu's block and slip off into the 5 gap where the Tremble had the lane sealed and Rick pulled the LB out of the 5 gap. Here's a visual if you need proof. Chuba did a jump cut laterally to the 2 gap on the right side with unblocked defenders crashing down and went airborne.   This is a 33 dive that should have been slipped off the block into the 5 gap. Chuba lacked vision, but you can see Rico and Bryce staring at the intended running lane sealed off by Tremble and Ekwonu. He should have read Ekwonu's block. The blocking and misdirection is NOT set up for the right side. The play worked. Chuba failed to execute on this play. Trust who you want to, but I wouldn't suggest you argue with the video. Anyone telling you this was drawn up to go right with the blocking did not analyze it. They are correct it should have been a called dive, and it was a called dive.  This was a weak offset I bringing Tremble in motion from the right to the left.
