  1. bottom line is Cam is having a better year and we still owe Seattle. Don't think this team doesn't remember who sent them home last season.
  2. Cam's rushing first downs are by far this most unacknowledged and disregarded part of his game. Only 3 NFL RBs converted more first downs on the ground than Cam. Never mentioned by anyone. Ever. Local or national. Why Cam's game is never fully respected. People will go on and on about completion % where other QBs pad stats with dump offs. They totally ignore that Cam is literally is own built in elite RB (which is more than TDs and goal line dives)
  3. Cam Newton also had 10 rushing TDs and is 4th in the NFL in first downs on the ground.....on top of his passing production. Which is HUGE. But when talking QB talk people try to dismiss it b/c it isn't a QB stat. Which has Cam reminds people, he is a football player first. That is why he is the MVP and not someone like Russell Wilson this season....and that trumps completion % edge. Simple and plain. Seahawk fans need go drink some of their QB's witchcraft water to make them feel better
  4. um, he touched him. That makes it sexual ASSAULT
  5. 89 would swing on anyone...with or without a helmet, teammate or opponent. I do think you can draw some comparison's between the two. 89 struggled with controlling his anger and all reports or NY Giants have worried about the same issue. Just b/c every outburst wouldn't be an apples to apples moment doesn't mean they aren't similar guys. Point was 89 had legit anger issues and he never beat them. He got better at it but to this day it is an issue for the man. Beckham has issues. Point was merely we gotta be careful calling him the biggest POS ever...when our GOAT had a comparable problem. That is the NFL fault too....you wouldn't of wanted to make 89 the face of the NFL in 2003. He had too many issues. NFL shouldn't of put this kid as the face of the NFL recently. He ain't that kind of dude (not this young and w/ his issues)
  6. well, Steve Smith is viewed as the GOAT around here. Beckham IMO has a lot of Steve Smith in him. 89 learned to deal with his anger issues but even today 89 struggles w/ it. He never learned to make it a nonissue.
  7. I like Allen...but Kony needs the early work to help us get off to a good start IMO and set the tone. He is a noticeably better pass rusher at this point.
  8. We only have so few roster spots. We need them. Tillman's knee likely is what it is. So either he can play or can't
  9. I'd go Fozzy. who was the big play man down the stretch last year? He made one last week.
  10. NY Daily News had an article about how to beat us. They had a scout on there saying the Giants should be able to pass on us. He stated we have nice stats but our pass rush actually wasn't that good. Credited Norman as good but that Beckham was simply much better at what he does than Norman is at what he does. Pretty garbage article overall so I won't link to it.
  11. I think Beckham Jr and Antonio Brown are the two best WRs in the game. I don't expect us to be running a ton of man with our current CB situation. That means Giants can dictate some scenarios in regards to who will be covering Beckham Jr. So some big pass plays definitely could be made we aren't use to seeing....Personally, I hope I am wrong and despite having issues at CB they run a lot of man w/ Norman on Beckham. My guess is just that the man coverage would be asking a lot of our #2 CB and nickel CB at this point. also, it will be interesting to see what our run game is. Stewart has been it...and he hasn't really had holes, just dragging dudes. What will the impact of not having him be and how will that impact our O? Will we be a heavy Tobert/Fozzy O? Or will the rookies make their debut? Definitely an exciting game. Even w/ injuries, Giants have bad defense, can't run, and a one man WR offense.....Carolina should win.
  12. I think your best shot is to run, run, run. Hope your D get capitalize on a mistake. We have been known to screw up a run assignment and get gashed a time or 2. I mean we can smoother a rush attack and suddenly let someone pop a 50 yarder. Messes up the numbers and on paper you can't tell how good we can be b/c of bonehead play. I'd go conservative until you can't if I play Carolina
  13. We are strong on Defense. Our current O also aids them in being strong. Take Cam out....we have a defense that will be weakened b/c we then have weak WRs, a meh run blocking OL, and an okay pass blocking OL. Name a QB that isn't a future HOFer that wins has won in that scenario? Cam masks lots of things and makes people think we are "okay" in areas we really aren't.
  14. Cam is 5th in the NFL in rushing 1st downs Cam is 3rd in rushing TDs. Our offense depends on that. Everyone talks about his rushing TDs but it is his first downs that make him the monster for opponents. No one talks about them but his career numbers are crazy in terms of picking on first downs (and that is why you can't compare him to anyone else in the game )
  15. I don't disagree with everything you are saying... but name 2 QBs you could put in this Cam centric rush O that could have us 11-0? Cam's power running and ability to evade in manners no other NFL QB can just can't be matched....and our O is built and thrived around it.
  16. saints report seems to suggest a good 60% think NO will win also those think stopping us is pretty easy. Put a man on Olsen and pressure Cam cuz he can't throw.
  17. Cowboy fans need to realize a couple things.... We ain't the Phins, the Eagles or Giants.... so you need to bring more than this Romo is 3-0 hype to the table in terms of why you will win.
  18. He gets hurt a lot. Dude ain't soft though. He has played when he shouldn't have
  19. I very much dislike the Cowboys. Romo? Romo is actually hard to dislike. Romo has a good story and wasn't a golden boy given a gig. Romo also shares some of that Cam magic. He allows plays to occur that simply don't happen when other QBs are in the game.
  20. Seattle Eagles Colts Texans Bucs Packers all we would have winning records if they beat us. You don't just add a win. A 4-5 team would be a 5-4 team. So yeah, most teams would have winning records. Jags and Saints would be 5-5.
  21. Most of our opponents would have winning records right now.....but we beat them. Silly Redskins
  22. Getting all these 3-4 looks in consecutive weeks helps too.
  23. I think it is tricky how coaches handle these young mobile QBs. I think Washington and the 49ers definitely did it the wrong way. They went the easy way. Which was good for the team initially but bad for the player. Cam's raw rushing numbers might throw someone people off but Cam took his lumps big time.....they didn't allow Cam to be a one read and run passer which IMO is what Washington and San Fran did. I actually feel bad for Mariota. Nothing against your team really. Just the situation. Is Ron a great coach? Few would have said so 2 years in. Debatable. Some say good. Some now even say very good. But what has been great for Cam is the consistent environment (Ron). Ron has stated from day 1 that him and Cam were joined forces essentially. Thankfully the franchise allowed both to grow together. Hopefully Mariota gets a good coach that legitimately wants to build around him. Kind of a bad start to have the guy who drafted you fired gets fired 5 games in. Leaves the window for a Gruden type to come in that just wants the job and not really the QB style.
  24. Should be a tough game. Fact they lost Marcus for a few games makes them appear worse than they are. Decent team, should be a fight. Their fans? Overall seem caught in recycled talk and throwing out standard outdated approaches about you stop Cam Newton. SEC country so there is a natural built in Cam hatred too. The outdated recycled junk about stopping Cam is always the funniest part. "Oh, we will blitz him, we will hit him....he will get rattled and lose the game. Cam gets frustrated". Um, no. Cam actually is at his best pressured. One of the top QBs in the NFL the past 2 years vs pressure. That ain't how you stop him, that plays into his strength at this stage of his career. Cam has won 12 straight w/ people attempting the "fan blueprint". That ain't a blueprint. Same applies to the Olsen blueprint. It ain't that simple. Tennessee potentially could have a good enough D to cause him some problems. All depends on what approach they take and if they can actually execute it. Not a lot of film on Marcus which makes him tough in reality.
