Ron Jaworski on Cam Newton

I was just listening to PTI and when asked about Carolina, Jaws brought Cam. Here is something along the lines of what he had to say.

"When you think about the hottest QB's this season, you think of Peyton Manning, Phillip Rivers is having a great season, but I think the hottest QB this season is Cam Newton. He has been having a great season. He doesn't have the best receivers or help around him but he looks like a much more comfortable pocket passer."

Looks like some on ESPN know what they're talking about.

Seems like Ol' Jaws is speaking out of both sides of his mouth:

 

14. Cam Newton, Carolina Panthers

Previous: 14

Newton has been playing very well since coming back from injury. What I've noticed about Newton is that he's like a pitcher who has a very good fastball: He's going to get guys out, but you have to learn to live with the walks. Newton still doesn't calibrate the velocity of his throws very well, but I believe that the injuries will actually help his overall progression, as he has been forced to stay in the pocket more in his first couple of weeks back (although the Panthers used him on several designed runs against the Bengals last week). His completion percentage (61.7 percent) is the same as last season; let's see if he can increase that as he regains more mobility.

    • Not exactly sure that is an honest assesment of the talent he had to work with that year. Olsen had over 1100 yards that season making the PB, Stewart had close to 1100 total yards also going to the PB. He had Kalil at C who went to the PB, Trai Turner at RG who also went to the PB, and Michael Oher at LT who played well enough that the Panthers offered him a new contract the following year. I wouldn't call that a trash OL. He also played with a defense that was stacked with talent as well.   "The thing we are doing better this time around is actually surrounding our #1 overall draft pick QB with talent vs. asking him to completely carry the offense. I just hope that effort is leading us to realize that the guy isn't even good enough to get carried." Please.... Did you not read the list of names Newton had to work with his rookie season. I guess you missed it so I will post it again for you... Steve Smith (PB), Greg Olsen (PB), Brandon LaFell, Ted Ginn JR, Deangelo Williams (PB), Jonathan Stewart (PB), Jordan Grossn (PB), Ryan Kalil (PB) on the offensive side and then he had Luke Kuechly (PB), Jon Beason (PB), Thomas Davis (PB), Star Lotulelei, Kawann Short ( PB ),Charles Johnson, Greg Hardy (PB ), Mike Mitchell, Josh Norman (PB)  For comparison, here is who Young had his first year.  Chuba Hubbard, DJ Chark, Jonathan Mingo, Adam Thielen, Hayden Hurst, Ikem Ekwonu, Chandler Zavala, Bradley Bozeman, Nash Jensen and Taylor Morton. Not a single PB player on the list and most of them aren't even playing any longer. Additionally, his HC was fired during the season and the defense was as bad as the offense.  You might not like the comparison but saying Newton had to completely carry the offense isn't exactly fair to the 4 pro bowlers on offense who played with him that year.
    • That's why I say we have to keep looking. Even if you believe Bryce is the guy, KP and Grier are not and who knows if King is anything more than a gimmick player, we should be active in improving our 2nd QB spot. Season ending injuries happen, and you don't just want to roll over and give it up. How many starters have we seen come from the ranks of backup? Having 2 potential starting QBs is one of the best problems we could have. 
    • Eh, it’s more on how bad the refs are. Some of these calls against the canes are no calls
