Week by week, he continues to improve.

In short, game by game, Cam continues to look more comfortable. Many critics thought his transition to being a pocket-passer would be a long and winding road. He’s proven that wrong already. There have been signs he’s sensing pressure sooner and reacting to it, whether it be flipping it out to J-Stew or finding his seam to run through. Cam’s improving every game and will continue too.

I used to dread seeing our offense on the field last season. Not anymore. It’s a treat!
