Cam working on rebuilding his throwing fundamentals

Breaking news: Kicker working on kicking. Receivers working on catching.

Insightful deep commentary like this keeps me coming to Patsfans

He's a "never been that accurate" QB to begin with, after two surgeries on his throwing shoulder.

Age won't end a career in football as quickly as injury will.

Don’t forget about all of the shots he’s taken to his legs over the course of his career too. A lot of power is generated in the legs and hips.

 

[bobbutts]

As one of the top running QB's in the game he doesn't need to be elite at throwing to be successful. I don't think people appreciate how much a little bit of improvement in throwing + better targets could change things. Maybe we're mediocre again, but I'm hopeful about the current lineup.

Wait until you hear about Mac Jones studying the playbook.

It's true he was dynamic as a rusher, but he's a decade older and is significantly more battered with tons of mileage. The issue is you shouldn't be rushing cam like he's 24 again, so if he isn't capable of being a decent passer he's not offering your offense much more than a Brian Hoyer.

They said this last season as well...

Link?

Under covid protocols, I doubt that any outside coaches were allowed contact with any players, at all. Even internal player-coach and player-player interactions were monitored and minimized. Some people got around some of those rules (see TB12 and the inapproved workouts) but if you think the Patriots would risk violating the rules that other teams can flaunt, you would be wrong. The eye of Sauron gazes upon us.

I dont have a link but remember one if the coaches on WEEI commenting that they were working on his mechanics last year.

Heard he’s the first one in the building and the last one out every day.

Cam was not even a Patriot until late June last year.....it has only been 11 months in Foxboro for Cam so far....

 

[Chevy]

Is that work ethic or an inability to read the building floor-plan?

He had his 2nd best statistical season for rushing TD's and 2nd most attempts last season. I agree you probably shouldn't do that if you care about his safety and longevity, but seems like the strategy he/they are using is YOLO.

Belichick's never seen anyone work harder.

Is the coach named Tom House ? Both Cam and Mac could benefit from working w Dr House

You mean this guy?

I guess I got a thing for people who played for the Red Sox in the 1970s, so it seems...

Could be the case. It is just like how I have been working very hard to be as fast as Usain Bolt.

Yes a genius. Brady worked with him for years.

Cam worked with House previously

Passing guru explains why he expects better Cam Newton in 2021

Tom Curran and Phil Perry discuss why it’s unlikely the Patriots move up in the draft for a QB. Also, legendary NFL throwing coach Tom House explains why he expects Cam Newton to be a more accurate passer this season.

It doesn't sound like they're working together currently, but it's possible

 

[Ochmed Jones]

Whoever is working with newton has his work cut out for him! There are offensive linemen that throw a better pass than newton!

Rodney Harrison tutors New England Patriots safety Kyle Dugger: 'I love the kid'

The former New England great says once the second-year defensive back starts trusting his instincts more, "he's going to be a fantastic player."

BB seems committed to having Cam be the starter going into the season, so any improvement in his passing is a positive.

I don't know about commited. If Mac is straight up doing better than Cam in practice and preseason the job is his. He has to completely beat the guy though. If it's anywhere close... I think the decision becomes Cam, regardless of how many of us would disagree from our couches.
