Did anybody else catch The Herd on ESPN radio talking about Cam Newton today? Just wondering what your thoughts were if so and how right/wrong you think he may have been?

[Marguide]

You could help us out and tell us what he said.

Then we can respond that he is full of sh#t and doesn't know what he's talking about.

I was trying to look for the podcast again. Basically he was saying Cam isn't ready and is only throwing 45% in preseason so far..granted its preseason. He had a few more points he mentioned as well. I was looking for others who heard it as well to fill in the blanks.

He doesn't know anything

Sounds like a bright guy

worthless thread is worthless

[rayzor]

it's preseason.
it was his first start.
it was his second game.
he's still very green
right side of the line was nothing but backups.
he didn't have steve smith.
he was facing a pretty good defense (finished top 10 in passing D and rushing D)
panthers didn't game plan.

sooo...yeah...his results aren't going to be all that great.

[TheRealDeal]

What does any of that have to do with him throwing the football?

Tell me how the game plan made him bounce passes...

We aren't expecting great results, just better overall play, regardless of outcome.

If it isn't Ace and Gary making some new and original commentary

Bradford's real coming out party was preseason Game 3.

I expect the same for Cam.

They are "gameplanning" but really thier biggest accomplishment will be rallying the team (and the fans) behind the franchise QB.

Just said that in another thread.

The most important thing right now is making his teammates believe he can play in the NFL.

Right now, it's meh

if you look at a lot of rookie QBs that started as a rookie, their "coming out party" was week 3 of preseason. for many, though, it was their first start.

Most of them also had Ota's and Mini camp.
