Many have long wondered how much freedom Cam Newton has to audible. Mike Shula just estimated Newton has the option 35-40% of the time.

[Hammerin'Cameron34]

should be 100% of the time QB like Cam should have no limitations, sky is the limit for Cam

[Nick_81]

That just doesn't seem like enough to me...

[redbuddha]

Hey Cam I'm gonna call two shitty plays, and you have the option to get out of the one of the shitty plays 30% of the time, but only to the other shitty play.

 

It hurts me to type this season!

[Cary Kollins]

And of that 40%, how often would Newton audible?  Maybe half?

 

 

 

So what we are seeing is Shula's script 80% of the game. No wonder the offense is such an embarassment.

 

I would love to know if Shula called the deep pass to Cotchery on that 4th and 1 against the Eagles.

[AceBoogie]

Peyton Manning? 100% of the time

Tom Brady? 100% of the time

Aaron Rodgers? 100% of the time

A QB cant overcome bad coaching. I'm not even saying Cam should be given free reign, but if he isn't he needs somebody a lot better than Shula.

[Peppers90 NC]

if there are 9 men in the box and we called a dive play, how the hell can QB not audible?

[chknwing]

Carolina does not want a QB, they want a game manager.  A fuging robot on the field.  Thats it.

[Jeremy Igo]

OK Cam, we are going to go off right tackle. You can audible off left tackle if you want....

[L-TownCat]

The trick is that nobody tells Cam which 35-40% he has that option with.

[Inimicus]

I would have thought with us running a system designed to run the same play from multiple looks that if nothing else Cam would be free to shift alignment at will.

[CRA]

It is obvious Cam can't audible out of most of the nonsense.

Body language of late tells a lot. Like when Shula again called the dumb fake double screen on 3rd and long when we were within a 2 possession game late. Just watch Cam close. He isn't pouting. He knows that isn't how to give yourself a chance.....Newton wants to win too much to run that play in that scenario.

Cam randomly in games is probably given 2 plays to pick from based on what a D is doing. A ball control OC isn't going to give a guy like Cam a green light.....bc he would audible out of most of it

[ThinkAboutIt]

Still trying to make it all about Cam Newton, I see.

The Panthers suck SO BAD that Cam has to play nearly mistake free for the Panthers to have any chance of winning.

In his first three years Luck has averaged around the same amount of interceptions as Cam, but Cam's team is the one that almost always loses when he just throws ONE.

The margin of error in a Shula offense is zero.

In Manning's first four seasons he threw 81 interceptions compared to Cam's 53 so far. Cam has 11 so far this season, the same as Luck. Cam only has 13 TDs, but he might have 20 if not for all the passes that his receivers drop.

Cam hasn't been the same since Cotchery dropped that game winning TD pass in Cincinnati, which showed that even when he plays nearly perfect, they still might not win this season...because it's never been all about him, lol.

Rivera thinks it is.

Has anyone else noticed that every time Cam audibles, he audibles to a run play?  I've watched him play almost 4 seasons now and I don't think I've seen him audible to a pass even once.  Maybe I'm wrong but, if I'm watching film on the Panthers and I see Cam audible, I'm selling out to stop the run.
