they had to be, there were defenders in the backfield before people could had time to get open.  i think one area Cam can improve on is anticipating when a wr will be open and throwing to that spot.  not saying he cant do it, but i think he can still improve, i think sometimes he waits to be sure someone is open rather than anticipating it.

 

Absolutely, Cam should learn to throw open his receivers. Like he needs to be able to learn to rocket the ball so fuging hard that it pierces the body of the defender so that our receivers can catch it.

There are two things that cause Cam to struggle.  Pressure in his face and when a team drops a lot of guys into coverage. 

 

When the O-line keeps him clean, his mechanics are good, and when that happens he's really, really good.  His stats back this up.  When he dosen't have a clean pocket or get pressure he's not as accurate.

 

When he's gets blized, he's really good.  He's good at finding his checkdown or who's open based on the blitz.  He eats up the blitz.  But when a team only rushes 4 or less he's not as good at finding the open man because he's has not mastered reading defenses yet.  And since our O-line sucks in the traditional running game we can't take advantage of all those defenders playing back with a solid running attack.

 

I've said in another post that we lost to the 49'ers because of our offense line.  That's the big advantage they had over us.  Their line is really good.  I don't think people understand just how weak our interior running game is because of our line. 

 

Just like the two DT on the D-line helped the whole defense.  A good O-line is going to help the whole offense.  If Cam has time he's shown he can be deadly accurate no matter who's at WR.  Gettlemen from the first day said you build the team inside out.  Don't cry foul when that's what he does.

The line needs upgrading but the receives we have are not capable of catching getting seperation or running good routes, I've watched all season and I'm not sure why people can't see it, cam holds on waiting and the line poor as it is collapses and he's sacked or picked off because he forces the issue! Not sure why we can't double dip at Oline and receiver

Well I do know that in the 4th quarter or it may have been the 3rd but Cam got sacked back to back less than a half second of him securing the ball.  That didn't seem like he had plenty of time to me, and that's just one scenario that stands out to me.

 

Shula ball or encroachment. Shula having an offense that snaps the ball at the last second makes it easy for the opposing D-Line to get a perfect jump every play.

The press conference was fine. I wanted to see our coaching staff improve, not just the status qua. At least Ron said they will take a look at themselves and try to improve. Hopefully that means Ron telling Shula to get his ass in gear.

Gettleman basically said the running back position was a thorn in his side.

I don't know if it was his intention but he kind of made it sound like Greg Hardy is tough to deal with and maybe not worth the money.

I think it has more to do with Rosenhaus being Hardy's agent

Cam getting sacked happens more often from receivers not getting open and being stuck in the box than you're seeing. Hell with Cam's ability to keep the play alive you would think we would see more deep plays, but it never happens. Our receivers do not come open, there's examples in every game we've played this year.

 

Our O-Line will improve regardless of draft picks simply from resigning key players, and getting back healthy players. Our offensive weapons are only going to keep fading. 

 

OL gives you a run game, a run game gives you playaction, and you have Steve Smith, Greg Olsen, and especially Ted Ginn ready to feast on defenses who cannot stop the run..

 

Add a 2nd TE who can stretch the field and you just realistically fixed more holes than you're suggesting.

i would have to go back to other games to be sure, but at least in the SF game, the first half they were dropping 7 and 8 guys in coverage and he lit them up.  as opposed to pressure up the middle in the second half, we can think of every game we lost this season and see thats where the struggles cam from.  wharton sufficed but thats about it, we had make-shift crack team of guys rotating at RG.

Their O-Line is much better, their receivers are much better, and their running backs are much better.

I want to improve our WR corps too, but let's take another look at a stat from the SF game...

 

Cam's QB rating under pressure was 2. Cam's QB rating when he was not pressured was 133.

 

Time and time again we have seen Cam pass as well as any QB in the league from an accuracy standpoint, decision making standpoint, and any other way you want to measure it, when he has a clean pocket.

 

Pretending like OL are just a bunch of fat guys to help us run the ball for 4 yards a pop is taking a very limited view of their contributions.

 

and then give him a running game to top it off...

Good point that happens more often than not.  I hate that as well.  Defenders do watch the clock but I think that comes from Cam changing the plays at the line because he sees something he doesn't like.  

Shula ball or encroachment. Shula having an offense that snaps the ball at the last second makes it easy for the opposing D-Line to get a perfect jump every play.

that is a solid point, i would like to see some more hurry-up every once in a while.  maybe if we get some back end help on defense, we might have the confidence to be a little more aggressive/up-tempo.

    • Yeah, I could jump right into the unbelievable Bryce debate now that some people are trying to flip the script because Bryce Young has, at most, a handful of decent games as a pro, but that's going to work itself out. Suffice it to say that I've seen better QBs (with an s) in a Panthers uniform, and I've certainly seen better QBs be drafted while we're playing around with Bryce, one of them who beat the crap out of us already this season... Let's forget about Bryce (and his markedly underwhelming play since he's been here); I think that most sane fans will agree that drafting him was an error, but it happens. Sure, it doesn't happen to the tune of King's ransom---including your main receiver---but it happens. You bet, you lose. Speaking of receivers...and betting and losing... Oh, man, we drafted Xavier Legette. Yes, just like with Bryce, I've entered "the dark side." Some Huddlers were telling us from the beginning, and they were right. But, I'm not apologizing for waiting to see what a guy's got before making my decision on him. X was a one-year wonder at South Carolina who parlayed some really nice production that season, a great personality and thick country accent, into becoming a first round pick (but only in Carolina). For Dan Morgan and company, He was a big swing that has turned into a big whiff (and I can still feel the ill breeze from that one). Sh¡t happens, right? Well, not so fast. Ladd McConkey was the decidedly more polished receiver who was literally ready to hit the ground running as soon as stepping onto the field as a pro. Ladd was never the biggest guy (though not the smallest), but he was the guy that could run routes, always seemed to get open---no question---and had the same speed as X, but with legit quickness and nuanced shake and bake. But Dan chose the project. He chose the guy where the game speed looks more like a tractor trailer than a 5.0 mustang. Look, I've supported X (just like Bryce) many many a day, but no more. Now I'm not saying that I won't root for the guy. Just like with Bryce, he seems like a great kid. But as far as giving excuses for the kid, and, perhaps more importantly, waiting for some miraculous breakout, I'm done with that. I've seen enough. You don't draft a project for a project. And yes, Bryce had proven to be a project after his first season. In my mind, drafting a supposedly number one receiver that needs lots of development for a starting quarterback that needs immediate help to try and further his development is not going to lead to good things. Pick the surest guy. Or at least pick the one who appears to be the surest guy, because picking can be tricky... especially when you're too busy tricking yourself. 
    • Winning ain't gonna make my eyes lie to me. Context matters, and it will always matter in the game of football.
    • That TD pass to Legette against Miami. Elite. The play where Bryce rolls right to buy time until Tet can reverse field.  Bryce pumps as multiple defenders close in.  He barely gets it away before he takes a big time hit.  Beautiful off platform throw and great catch by Tet.   The second TD to Tet against Dallas where Bryce dips and turns his shoulder in to evade the pass rusher.  Resets and finds Tet in the end zone. Dude embodies the Keep Pounding mantra.
