Cam Newton on those last few play calls....

In the NFL, and even generally in college, 3rd and 3 is a passing down.

 

It has to be viewed on a play by play basis, but there is almost always an underneath pattern available if the QB chooses it.

 

There was a pretty good thread on the 4th and 1 call last week.

 

If you're talking about Stewart being "wide open" on the check down you're 1000% wrong. He may or may not have gotten the first. But he would have caught the ball 3-4 yards behind the LoS and there was a DB standing right in front of him at the sticks. No guarantee. 

 

Avant (I think it was Avant) had a delayed route, but there was a DB sitting in Zone waiting to jump it.

You must be being sarcastic. No way that defender being on Cam as soon as the ball was snapped is his fault. No one touched the guy and 2 seconds later his helmet was against Cam's jaw. 

 

Obviously Cam held onto the ball too long.  Just ask all the "realists" and "non-homers" around here.

What part of "2 seconds" don't you understand? The guy was literally in Cam's face as soon as he took his first step after the ball was snapped. Literally. 

 

I understand that amid the rampant blind hatred and stupidity that gets posted here it might be easy to mistake what I said as serious, and wouldn't even be ranked among the dumbest things said lately, but yea TheRumGone gets it.

      There is a Grand Canyon-sized chasm between your opinion and the opinions of most former player hockey guys who do this for a living.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      To say that, is gaslighting, because it isn’t true. I mean, maybe one or two people do that but it isn’t the predominant behavior. Even Frank has given him credit. I think particularly the Rams game. A couple of glowing posts.   I know I have. Gotta be honest about it because if you aren’t it undermines what else you say.  But the degree of how far I go with credit, in terms of it being a projection of future performance? Not very far. Acknowledge it, but require more of it. There is a lot of bad play to offset.    I tried to remain passive while the last 9 games (post ankle injury) played out. It is just really hard when the lows won’t go away. I failed. As high as a couple of those highs were, there isn’t enough.    I know it is premature to just say I want to move on, made my decision after 6 of those games ended up pretty much really good or not good enough, but I have had enough of being patient and letting him show the reality either way.  So in my view, he Could still validate himself to a decent degree if he smokes the last three starts. But also in my view I don’t expect to see it. Maybe one more high quality start, would be my expectation. So yes he could still somehow justify having the job next year. If that happened I still wouldn’t have much faith given the last three years and all that has transpired. Again, there is a lot of bad play to offset.
