Cams worst problem

The thing that stuck out the most today was not the arm throws or pocket presence, it was forcing the ball to Smith. We have seen it for years and for years it was a favorable match up but old man time has caught up with Smith. Yet I know in my hart every time he goes in that huddle he is begging for the ball. The fact is Can needs to look the other way and see other players are open.

Here's the problem. What do you do now? You've got Ginn who appears to actually be reliable over the middle which could be huge in gameplans...but Olsen has had the dropsies although he's still one of the best, LaFell has the dropsies, and Smitty is really showing that he's lost a step more than we ever imagined. We don't really have that big play threat anymore...Olsen isn't a big play threat, he's a nickel and dime move the chains guy.

 

Unfortunately, this team is going to have to rely on Cam's running ability, and Shula just refuses to use that. He has coached Cam away from running for months now.

 

We have to find a happy medium. What Chud was doing, and what Shula has been doing. In between, and in my opinion we've got a somewhat MAYBE respectable offense.

 

Let Cam make plays, move him around, and SPREAD THE FIELD. Cam doesn't work well in bunch formations that has become very apparent. He's a big, spread offense quarterback.

Did Lafell seriously laugh?

Video?

That burns me up if true.

Yea he was definitely on the bench laughing after the play. Hell he walked off the field with a smirk.

Cams biggest problem is he plays for the Carolina Panthers. Oliver Luck is a great great father.

He actually connected with like six different targets today.

That first drive he was on fuging fire. That drop in the end zone was a game changer imo.

Your favorite target drops a td pass after you were perfect on the drive and then your "#2" wr drops a 4th down pass in the redzone. I kept saying it all game, you can't keep expecting Cam to play perfect all game while everyone around him plays like poo. Eventually he'll lose confidence and start forcing poo

Yes he did well on the first drive but it was downhill after that.

Yes, combination of things led to that downward spiral. Started with the drops. Without them, Cam would have been 10/10 with a TD.

Those picks later were definitely on him, but you could tell his confidence took a dip after that first drive. He tried to do too much.

Newton's known issues:

 

- Inconsistency

- Holding the ball too long

- Footwork and mechanics

- Starts well, finishes poorly

- Sometimes stares down or forces the ball to receivers

 

Breaking each one down...

 

Inconsistency: You're never gonna solve that with a gunslinger QB.  You can minimize it, but you'll never get rid of it.

 

Holding the ball too long: That's on Newton.  He just has to learn to make his decisions more quickly.

 

Footwork and mechanics: Coaching issue mainly.  Lack of good OL play will reinforce bad habits and make this worse if you don't fix it.  The longer it goes on the less chance you have of correcting it.

 

Starts well, finishes poorly: Also primarily on Newton, but coaching is big here too.  Most gunslingers are slow starters who get better late in the game (i.e. 4th quarter comebacks) but newton is the opposite.

 

Sometimes stares down or forces the ball to receivers: Another coaching issue.

      Moton extension. 2 more years, $44M

      By Loyalty4Life · Posted

      In your opinion. What do you think Moton's true value in contract, dollars and guarantees? If we had not extended him, what is your plan for RT in 27 and 28? How important are good offensive linemen for our current offense? How much value do you put on protecting Bryce at this stage of his career? How difficult in general do you think finding above average tackles in the NFL is?

      Falcons with Major Offensive Line Injuries to Start the Season

      By Seltzer · Posted

      The Falcons have 2 significant offensive line injuries to start the 2025 season. Right tackle Kaleb Mcgary (who is the blindside protector for Penix since he is left-handed) is going to miss significant time, and it's looking more like it may be all season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-expect-kaleb-mcgary-to-miss-significant-time https://x.com/BKsquared7/status/1959285822236107013. Also, the top backup and swing tackle, Storm Norton (cool name BTW) is having ankle surgery and may miss half the season. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/falcons-ot-storm-norton-out-6-8-weeks-after-ankle-surgery I don't root for injuries, but its also hard to be too sympathetic given how badly injuries have hit us in recent years. We definitely need to get that W in week 3 for our home opener at BOA. Despite our collective frustration at not being able to attend TC and then having boring preseason games, ultimately the most important objective of the preseason is to enter Week1 healthy, and we have at least done that. Hopefully the depth we think we have at Oline either shines through or isn't needed. Many other teams are in a bad spot with their offensive lines before the season even starts. For once, we aren't in that situation.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By CRA · Posted

      That roster was billed as a super smart and strong unit for a young QB….until he sucked though.   it didn’t have superstars but it had proven vets that checked well all the safe boxes and it was universally agreed the Panthers were putting him into position to succeed. BY just doesn’t fit a traditional O because he isn’t built like a traditional QB.  And he still doesn’t.   CJ Stroud would have had more success here than Bryce with that cast.   CJ just has the tools that fit the NFL more easily.  Young can find success but I have always argued it would take a Bryce centric plan (which we have never attempted IMO)
