Cam throwing on the run...

I noticed last week when Cam escaped pressure and got outside the pocket he made a throw downfield that was no where close to it's intended target.  I also remember during the preseason he rolled out and threw down field to an open Smith and damn near threw a pick over Smith's head.  It got me thinking, is throwing on the run just not a strength of Cam's?

 

You would think the Panthers would try to utilize bootlegs and movement to help negate the poor blocking at times as well as slowing down the rush.  But we rarely do this.  I know Cam has made great passes on the run at times but I just don't think it's his forte.  Watching Wilson tonight made me realize how ineffective Cam is at making these throws.  Other QB's who are good at this include Aaron Rodgers, Big Ben, and Steve Young was probably one of the best, it just adds a different dynamic to their games.

 

So to review, not bashing Cam, just wondering if anyone else noticed this and if you had clips from games that could disprove it and make me feel differently.

Your memory is selective.

I distinctly remember a perfectly placed touchdown throw he made to Steve Smith on the run against Oakland last year.

 

That was a pretty pass.

 

Cam throwing on the run is not a strength like it is for Wilson (all the baseball helped that) but I wouldn't call it a glaring weakness. 

 

Panthers win the next three ball games and Cam will be the best <fill in the blank> in the league and your nitpicking (along with mine) will go the way of the dinosaur.

He's not bad, not great/amazing.

 

Wilson can make some insane throws on the run. A lot of people say they are just miracle throws but when he's been doing it consistently you can't deny the kid has a knack for it.

 

I'll keep saying it if we didn't have Cam I would want RW.

Yeah I can't pull up the highlight on my phone, but I remembered it because at the time I said "wow, that was a hell of a pass". Overall I think Cam can make any kind of throw you ask him to, he's just had to work on doing it consistently, but he's definitely learning.

Cam absolute can throw on the run but I don't think he has good enough footwork to do it consistently.  Wilson doesn't either btw, he has a tendency to throw floaters on the run.  If you watch someone like Rodgers you'll see damn near perfect footwork whether he's in stride or has to stop and plant.  

 

It'll come for Cam in time.  The guy is only 24 years old.  He has quite a few little things he needs to polish and there's no reason to think he won't in time.

you don't have to lazer throws to make accurate throws on the run. His floaters work. He is a great thrower on the run.

I humbly disagree.

      What?!?!?! Chark's 1,000 yard season was 4 years before he played for us and he only had 525 yards in 15 games as our #1 WR.  Dude has 3,100 yards in 7 seasons, he's the literal definition of a JAG and you think he is better than half our current WR room? T-Mac is literally already better than Chark was at his peak, which again, was years before he ever even put on a Panthers uniform, and there is a real argument to be made that XL and Coker were both better as rookies than Chark was for us in his one season here.

      Im glad we're starting low. It's nonsensical to put us at 28 IMHO based on objective things IMHO (I think 21-24) is far more appropriate but whatever. Washington was at the bottom last year FWIW.  In 2003, Sports Illustrated said our best chance to win the division was to transfer to the ACC. In 2015, everyone wrote us off as a team that snuck into the playoffs with a losing record in 2014 and lost our best WR in TC (Kelvin Benjamin). All these videos are fodder for conversation, but this prediction has no more validity than saying the Panthers are making the SB bc we're starting the season against the Jaguars again. If Bryce plays like he did down the stretch we will end up the season just fine. This roster is much better than it has been the last 2 seasons. No one knows who any season will ultimately end up, but this team is finally being built in the right way, and the idea that this roster can't compete this year is as insane as being it was when we were gaslit in 2023 that we were a rookie QB from winning the division with that roster.
