Few young players in the history of the NFL have been depended on as much as Cam Newton, and none have produced more offense through three seasons. But that dependence only seems to be growing with time … and it comes with sizable risk for the future of Carolina Panthers football.

 

I can't get it to show up correctly here, but there's an interesting table in the article showing the percentage of offense generated by notable QBs, and Cam leads the pack by a large margin at 78% of his team's offense, ahead of Peyton Manning at 73%

Nice find by the way.  Good perspective from the mind of a Cam hater.

the issue for is how long it took for that start to happen.

 

yea definitely. his rookie year he had a solid supporting cast, but nothing happened the next two years.

 

anyways i've begun to notice a trend in people how they view Cam irl. more people who doubted him and were calling him a "stat-*****" are starting to say, "wow Cam is doing all of this by himself, he has nobody like A. Luck, Kaepernick and Wilson"

 

and i just sit there and smile like you fuging retard i've been saying this for years.

i think we had a good start his rookie year, esp. with the TE twin towers. letting shockey go was a mistake. not replacing him was an even bigger one. tolbert was a good investment, but mainly that was because our starting RBs have been pretty ineffective and/or hurt.

we didn't have to go nuts to build around him. just adding a little here and there would have been better than letting talent walk and/or just sitting and ignoring that side of the ball like we have. last year was ok in adding ginn but still that was a feeble attempt to give cam some more help. what they've done with the OL has been just awful, though. sure, turner may be a future all-pro, but when your discussion for how to handle OT after losing your probowl franchise LT is either replacing him with a failed RT or a DT who used to be a OT who used to be a TE. that reeks of desperation and/or bullheadedness.

it's desperation.

 

bottom line. they don't have such big egos that they think everything is hunky dory at OT. it's kind of it is what it is situation. and then the cap situation on top of that.

 

these are the growing pains

      Malik Willis anyone

      I must apologize, my sarcasm at times doesnt translate well in text form lol. At this point I would welcome us signing him, Trey Lance, trading for Jameis Winston, asking about Deshaun Watson and playing phone tag with Tom Brady before I ever fully entertain a season of Bryce Young being the defacto Starting Quarterback of the Panthers.

      Bryce is elite at deep throws

      By beckersteen · Posted

      We had a QB who could do that and its the last time we went to the Super Bowl and the only time we had an MVP. Once he lost his ability to do that he was out of the league. To filter out insignificant stats I will only look at QBs who have played in 10 or more games this year. There are 28 qualifying QBs. Bryce is 25th in Air Yards per Attempt at 6.4. Only Joe Flacco, Cam Ward, and Dillon Gabriel are worse (6.0, 5.8, 5.1). Trevor Lawrence, Patrick Mahomes, and CJ Stroud are the median QBs at 7.1. Drake Maye and Sam Darnold lead the league at 8.7. Bryce is 18th in the league for passes that travel 30+ yards at 12. The median is Caleb Williams at 15. The league leader is Matthew Stafford with 26. With passes that travel 40+ yards, Bryce is tied with three others at 21st in the league with 3. Only Jacoby Brissett, Cam Ward, Joe Flacco, and Dillon Gabriel are worse. The median is a three-way tie with Drake Maye, Trevor Lawrence, and Baker Mayfield with 6. The league leader is Sam Darnold with 12. Having the ability to complete passes down the field (not YAC) stretches the defense and makes them account for more ground. It keeps players out of the box and keeps formations in nickel or dime, less line backers for your RBs to worry about. Bryce is why we have 2 losses against the Saints. If he had the outright ability to sling the football down field we beat the easily, but he doesn't. So they crowded the box and our 2 starting caliber RBs with our top ~10 Oline couldn't carry the offense to a win on their own. The limitations of the offense fall squarely on Bryce.
