From Albert Breer on NFL.com...
 

 

"Over the last 10 weeks, we're seeing Cam maturing, and doing things in other ways to contribute and improve," Rivera said as he headed out to the final practice of the spring last Thursday. "It got to the point where Cam was installing things. He led the meetings. He was sitting with the receivers, the tight ends and helping them, not just standing next to (offensive coordinator Mike Shula). You see stuff now you didn't see before."

 

Cam Newton's growth has Carolina Panthers high on QB's future

 

 

Pretty good read. 

 

(Breer is one of the better writers on NFL.com, in my opinion)

a healthy JStew, beefed up guard play, fresh talent at WR, Cam with more experience and a fixed ankle, that new offensive assistant coach....all this could point to big strides for the offense

biggest question mark will obviously be the left tackle position

And if gettleman turns out to be right about our OTs, look the fug out!

NO KIDDING!!!!   The interior part of the line is going to be awesome.  Those tackles shape up.  We could be ready for the next step. 

 

The first year or two Cam was so used to winning he didn't know how to handle losing.  Now he has been through three solid seasons.   He knows he isn't going to get a Auburn vs Western Kentucky game.  EVER.   The only way you win is being the best at your job.  I think Cam's confidence is high and he will be in the discussion for OPOY.

I hate to beat a dead horse, but the most annoying part about Cam improving is all the back handed compliments that sportswriters throw his way in comparison to his rookie year. 

 

He's maturing like any other QB would and the biggest difference is we're winning games.

I'm not sure what was 'backhanded' about this article.

      This.  He knows where the seam is about to open, cuts, and accelerates hard. He’s slippery and tacklers always seem to be taking awkward angles to get to him. No dancing. Runs low and powerful. Almost never goes backwards for a loss. We’ve rarely had the guy who bounces off of tacklers. It’s nice seeing another one.

      I can't speak for others but yes I read it. The conclusions are based heavily around the use of the statistical metric DYAR created by football outsiders and used by ESPN for this article. It only includes players whose production began in 2000. But excluding HOF running backs who produced BIG in an iteration of the NFL that was not yet catered to making things much easier for offenses in order for them to prop up more recent candidates is rather absurd and seems like just playing favorites regardless of where one might fall on their opinion of the use of the metric in question.
