Our WR's can't get YAC's

"Carolina is last in the league in YAC. How long will Cam continue to selfishly throw passes into the endzone for TDs? Stay tuned, Jaws and Hodge will breakdown why Cam's selfishness will ruin his team's locker room. But first, Polian, Gruden, and Bruschi talk about the QBs of the future: Luck, Colin, Wilson, and RG3. With a bonus interview with RG3's 3rd grade teacher's hair stylist's niece."

Colin looks as bad as I thought he was. I never thought he passed the proverbial eye test but still managed to get it done. He has no form and in my opinion is awkward in the pocket. He's fast, he can throw the hell out of the ball but he is not as accurate as he needs to be to beat man to man consistently, especially if his receivers continue to struggle and the play calling stays the same.

ESPN put him up, it's time for the fans to start tearing him down. I feel for him because he's not in an ideal situation offensively and their play calling was unimaginative as can be.

It is very hard to screen with a qb like Cam as the defense will have players spying on him on all plays, those spies will also be in great position to get to the screen receiver. 

 

No screens == less YAC.

 

Same reasoning with quick throws, Cam can buy himself time so no need to use them (of course unless your RT is named Bell and Mario Williams are on the other team...). 

 

That, and the strongest arm in the league.

RG3's stats are just fluff, especially three games into this season as garbage time rolls around. He completes a 2 yard competion and it turns into a 25 yard play.

I'm glad he's getting the Cam Newton treatment now. Washington fans have been insufferable.

 

I said from day one he wasn't anything like people said he was. All you had to do was watch him play in college, it's like these analysts heard someone say something once and then they all just repeated each other.

@Rules&Regulations

 

I hear you. But as Jarhead said "it's still early. Let's wait and see'?

 

It's also safe to say, that Carolina's receivers aren't the toughest or shiftiest in the league as far as YAC is concerned. Carolina's receivers, don't even fight for, over defenders (on imperfect throws) as you see so many other receivers do all the time. 

 

Of course, KBarner, may have something to do with that, when he comes back, and if Cam/Shula runs screens for Ted Ginn. 

 

We'll see?

    • Personally I think he's a nightmare to cover I think linebackers generally aren't fast enough to keep up with him in coverage and cornerbacks don't have the strength to tackle him one-on-one in physically bring them down which would normally lead to a broken tackle or a nasty stiff arm or just bully ball play sure you could find a receiver with comparable speed like Cooper but he's faster than Cooper sure you can find a wide receiver that is the same size but he's probably More powerful than them and a better blocker.  The size speed athleticism package that he is in is completely unique it's easier to say I'd rather have just a big blocker because we've never seen this type of profile before I'm a risk taker I think you would be God blessed if this was there at 19 I think if you can get a guy that's a tight end who immediately becomes the fastest guy on your offense and at the same time that third wide receiver that can stretch and burn defenses over the top that's the perfect what the Panthers need type weapon.
    • I think you're under selling Sadiq. They are two different players in terms of how they win. Loveland is 2 inches taller maybe 5-6 pounds heavier. Comparing his speed to sadiq.. well your comparing a 4.7 guy to a 4.3 guy I'm seeing a guy that can take a bubble screen from the tight end position and turn it into a house call. I'm not saying the guy is a certified home run pick but I don't think there's really a president's for a comparison for this kind of athlete. It's easy to say this doesn't look like Warren or Loveland because we haven't seen guys that fit this profile The closest you might be able to get is Vernon Davis.  He's not as sure far as those guys were but at 19 I think almost everybody is going to have some warts and he's a lottery ticket of could be top 10 in the draft player or could fail I am more of a risk taker I think he fits the athletic profile that could be a homerun, like I said he's almost 40 lb bigger than Cooper and like 4-5 in taller than Cooper so and he's faster. So whatever you think Cooper gives you I think he does that and more. If you want to go with one of the office alignment I can understand that as well but for value as a receiving threat I don't think there's a bigger value at number 19.
    • I’ve haven’t seen anything that says we have interest in Njoku?
