Quote:I don't feel like playing games about it. Cam did okay, not great at all, and had his share of throws off target and frequently held the ball too long leading to him getting sacked, or having to break a tackle to get some yards scrambling. The panthers won and the biggest difference is Bortles' INT was typical of him and completely boneheaded leading to six for the panthers while Cam's INT was down the field, which of course wasn't returned for a TD because passes down the field are less likely to be returned for a TD than those garbage short passes to the sideline like Bortles threw.

I agree about the int, which is why I hate this horizontal passing stuff.


I'll gladly agree that Cam had off target throws and he does hold the ball too long sometimes. He also somehow manages to escape when it all comes crashing down and converts those into first downs. But he got his team into scoring range 5 times today, and if not for drops could have 3 tds. Regardless of circumstances, I'd take that any day from my qb.


In any case, it seems we're not close to seeing that from Blake yet.
