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.

      shough vs tmac off rookie of the year

      By MasterAwesome · Posted

      Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.

      The Case for(or Against) Drafting/Signing a TE

      I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive

      It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
