I'd prefer if he was just missing them. Holding on for a bigger play with this OL would indicate a level of greed or stupidity that I would find troubling.

OilerTitanHybrid Posted 6 hours ago Report Share Posted 6 hours ago (edited) If Cam was in KC right now it wouldn't be like this. Reid would have recognized the players and scheme limitations and he'd have Cam reeled in already, implemented the KC short passing game (with occasional bombs) and Cam would be playing like his true McNomes self out there! But nooo, cause Callygump! COO COO CA CHOO!!! Edited 6 hours ago by OilerTitanHybrid Callidus, and Supernope 1 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I expected he likely need to learn the hard way to take what is given and not go for big shots. He said when he was drafted he wanted the 4 verts in teh playbook. He wants big plays and has that gun slinger mindset. Its his first 4 games.... he needs to learn.. and guys with that typee of confidence have to learn the hard way.

If that was it, then it wouldn't be a big deal. But he's using it as a safety net. He isn't trusting the protection or his eyes, so he's buying more time and space. It can be really hard to break this if it goes to far ( see: Mariota) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I definitely get that but he better be a quicker learner before he ends up like Joe Burrow. Pragidealist 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mariota was risk adverse. Cam is very comfortable with risk. Again Cam is rookie. One of the fun things about guys like Cam is watching and seeing what he is now and then watching him improve... and realizing improvement is measured in seasons not games.
