Power Rankings...It's Not Pretty

24 - Cam Newton introduced some interesting aerial strategies to the football world Thursday night: The rocketball to the receiver 8 yards away in the end zone; the low, no-touch pass on the back-shoulder fade; and of course, an all-time classic, the meaningless, let's-throw-this-one-sidearm-for-fun toss over the middle. Panthers fans must be so frustrated.

 

ESPN

 

22 - Cam Newton completed a career-low 10 passes with a career-worst 35.7 completion percentage Sunday. Newton totaled nine overthrown passes, tied for his second-most in a game in his career.

 

CBS Sports

 

20 - The week before they were No. 15 and they need a win to turn things around. The defense is not what they used to be and the offensive line is questionable. Cam Newton has to do too much for this team to win.

 

USA Today

 

23 - Amazingly, Cam Newton is 7 yards from being their top rusher even though bum ankle relegated him to pocket for most of season.

Knowing the Panthers, we would be their first W. And you know it's gotten bad when we are debating whether we could beat the Raiders or not.

 

 

Well its not really much of a debate imo. Just fans being debbie downers. Pretty soon people will say we can't beat college teams. While obviously not true, people will still say it

    • It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.  
    • Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.  
    • I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
