Steve Logan absolutely nails it about Cam Newton and Panthers

Those who aren't familiar with Steve Logan, he is a long time football coach, an offensive guru, and a QB specialist.  Was head coach at ECU from 1992-2002.

 

As a college coach he helped put David Garrard, Jeff Blake, and Matt Ryan in the NFL among others.  He had coached for 40 years at every level.  He now has an awesome weekly radio show here in Raleigh and now an awesome weekly TV show here in Raleigh.

 

He is a funny guy and a smart guy so he is always a great listen.  I am sure most of you guys are familiar with him, but wanted to give some of his resume in case you have never heard of him.  Bottom line is he is a guy that I respect a lot and enjoy listening to.

 

He had an interview David Glenn yesterday and they talked about Cam Newton (maybe some of you have heard it).  And to me, he hits the nail on the head in both his evaluation of Cam Newton and what is going on around him.  He articulates in 3 minutes what I bumble out in the course of 5 wall of text posts in a thread and probably only make sense in my head :D.  I couldn't agree with him more on everything he says.

He has a way of saying something insightful in a way anyone can understand.  For example, my favorite quote from this interview about the game on Monday night.

 

 

There were 3 snaps on film where he would have had to call a fair catch in the shotgun to keep from getting sacked.  That's how fast those guys got back there!

I'm glad he touched on Cam's intelligence and says he knows what's going on. Cam typically makes good decisions and rarely do you see him throw a ball into a crowd. This year it's becoming tougher since all his WR's can't get any separation.

In a way I'm kind of glad this all happened on Monday Night Football so the world could see. Maybe all this talk and bashing of the Panthers FO will give them the nudge they need to make some changes.

Yep. He talked about his accuracy, but said he was a smart player and knew what was going on and was a 1010 in mobility so you can live with the accuracy. Basically says you have to mold offense around what QBs do well, and by that I took it to imply our coaching staff is not doing that

Steve Logan is pretty cool gentleman. Very polite and down to earth, ran into him at G K Cafe in G-Vegas. Always good to listen to on the radio.

Like I said I would be all for it. He knows QB play and offense about as well as anybody.

 

Yeah I wonder what he would say if the Panthers offered him a job at the end of the season. From that comment it makes me think he may consider giving that up temporarily to coach Cam. Of course with our FO's incompetence, they wouldn't consider him.

      I know it's only been training camp and one preseason game, but I think T-Mac has already shown his floor to be exactly what I said about him in the pre-draft process. That his floor if he never improves his game, is as one of the best #2 WRs in the NFL, if not even still a low end #1 (i.e. a 25th-ish best WR in the league). I think it's safe to say he's already established himself as our #1, and there are only a small handful of teams in the league where I don't think he'd be their starting #2 WR in Week 1. Bengals (Higgins), Dolphins (Waddle), Eagles (Smith), Bucs (Godwin if healthy), Rams (Adams) are really the only teams where I think he'd be the #3 as a rookie in Week 1.  A few others like the Lions (Williams), Bears (Odunze), Seahawks (Kupp), Commanders (Deebo), where he'd be the 2b to start the season, just because they're vets and/or already have a year or two of experience with their team/QB. And even having said that, I think by year 2, he's better than every one of those players (And no, I'm not saying he's already going to be better than a prime version of Adams, just whatever he'll be at 33 next year), and same goes for Kupp, but that's more because it seems like his body might be quitting on him in a way that hasn't happened to Adams (yet).

      Well to be fair, Horn not practicing right now to let his stitches heal up from a car accident isn't something that should be concerning.  Sure, you don't want him missing practice leading into the season, but it's one that once healed, won't have lingering affects or fear of re-injuring it, it was just bad luck.

      Austin named starting center

      By UnluckyforSome · Posted

      Quality backups are absolutely important. This franchise has been plagued with depth problems. That said, there is a little bit of dismay that Mays can't beat out a 1-legged man, and all the talk going into the off-season was how BC would certainly be gone since he had position versatility.  In the end, it doesn't matter too awfully much, as I would be shocked to no end if Corbett makes it through the season. We know what we have in reserve, and that should surely be better than trying to sign random fat guys mid season to try and take over.
