Don't you hate when Cam overthrows a WR deep on 3rd and short

He had more bad throws that game as well. The issue is most on this board only watch Panthers games. Every game you can give example after example of elite QB's making bad throws but for some reason these people hold Cam to a higher standard.

He overthrew the same route on the down before that on 2nd and two. They went for it on 4rth down and got it. Cam is inconsistent, but a large part of that is inconsistent play around him.

This is fantastic logic Boogie.

While your at it why don't you watch The Chargers game from this weekend? Rivers has an O-line that's as bad as ours and 1 decent receiver and 1 decent receiving tight end. He still pulled a win out of his ass in that one game. 

 

I guess what your saying then is that Cam is on a par with Peyton but worse then Rivers? 

 

Bravo.

Tom Brady against GB overthrew an open receiver across the middle of the field by about 20 yards and then later short hopped a pass on a quick out without any pressure on either throw.

 

It isn't saying that Cam is as good as Brady or Manning.  It is showing that bad passes are part of playing QB, and Cam normally is no worse or better than most QBs

 

 

I have never in my life seen a QB so closely scrutinized by a fanbase on a pass to pass basis than Cam Newton.

Not saying Cam hasn't had check down opportunities because he has, that last game was the most checkdowns he's thrown all season. The problem is these down field slow developing routes Shula dials up. Shula Rarely calls routes over the middle of the field, seems like these routes are always to the sidelines.

Not saying Cam hasn't had check down opportunities because he has, that last game was the most checkdowns he's thrown all season. The problem is these down field slow developing routes Shula dials up. Shula Rarely calls routes over the middle of the field, seems like these routes are always to the sidelines. 

This is part of his philosophy.

 

Remember, Shula's entire ideas of calling plays comes from the old days of the NFL. There were no timing, no 5/7 drop stick routes, no seams. You couldn't throw over the middle because A.) offenses weren't yet sophisticated enough and B.) safeties were allowed to commit murder on the field.

 

So you stuck to sideline throws, post routes in favorable situations (3rd and short), tight end curls etc. 

 

When you watch the Panthers now, you're literally watching an offense from about 20 years ago. 

 

Here is the 1996 NFC Championship game. The Panthers oc at the time was Joe Pendry, who retired in 2010 after serving as an assistant at Alabama. 

 

 

This is the offense the Panthers are running, with the exception of some single wing/option plays that I really don't think Shula fully understands. Just look at Willie Green and Mark Carrier running the same routes (and about as fast) as Cotchery.

    • Here’s a summary of the JJ and Luke podcast transcript. Opening / Bryce Young Fifth-Year Option     •    JJ: Breaking news — Panthers picked up Bryce Young’s fifth-year option at $25.9M, guaranteed, coming in 2027. Combined with his 2025 salary of ~$6M, that’s $31M over two years — called it a “no-brainer.”     •    Luke: Enthusiastic about the move. Highlighted Bryce’s improving TD/INT ratios (11/10 → 15/9 → 23/11) and the value of entering year three with Dave Canales. Noted $25M is a bargain relative to the $60M top of market. Luke’s Personal Update — Charlotte Christian Football     •    Luke: Working with Charlotte Christian school football program, which hired a new head coach. Coaches include Greg Olsen, Luke, and Greg’s dad Chris Olsen (a New Jersey State coaching Hall of Famer).     •    JJ: Jokingly quipped that Charlotte Christian’s coaching staff is “the world’s greatest” — a Fox analyst, a Hall of Famer, and the best Panthers RB ever — all coaching middle school football.     •    Luke: Praised Chris Olsen’s deep football knowledge spanning decades and his ability to connect with kids. Round 1, Pick 19 — Monroe Freeling, OT, Georgia     •    JJ: Panthers were on the clock and submitted their pick almost immediately — a sign of confidence and preparation. Freeling is 6’7”, 320 lbs, played in the SEC in a pro-style system.     •    Luke: Loved the pick. Emphasized you can never have too many quality offensive linemen. Noted Freeling’s size, athleticism, and arm length as key traits. Said the pick also reflects team’s philosophy of drafting great people, not just great players.     •    JJ: Noted reporter Darren Gantt compared Freeling favorably to Jordan Gross — bigger, heavier, and faster — as a potential franchise left tackle.     •    Luke: Pointed out that young players like Freeling still have physical development ahead of them, comparing the trajectory to Christian McCaffrey’s growth from age 20 onward. Round 2, Pick 49 — Lee Hunter, DT, Texas Tech     •    JJ: Panthers traded up from 51 to 49 (pick swap with Minnesota) to grab Hunter. Played audio from Panthers area scout Kaden McLuhan, who scouted Hunter.     •    Scout Kaden McLuhan (audio): Said Hunter’s size is immediately striking, and that everyone around him spoke glowingly about his character, energy, and love for the game.     •    Luke: Praised Hunter as a massive (6’3”, 320 lbs, ~34” arms) two-gap nose tackle who fits perfectly in the Evero defense. Compared his prospect profile to Akiem Hicks. Said having Derek Brown, Bobby Brown, Derrick Brown, Terson Wharton, and now Hunter creates varied body types that stress offensive linemen.     •    JJ: Noted Hunter ranked third among all prospects in run-stuff rate and sixth in interior pass-rush win rate — addressing a perception that he couldn’t rush the passer. Rounds 3–7 Highlights     •    Luke: Highlighted WR Brazle (3rd round, 6’4”, 437 speed, 1,000+ yards at Tennessee) as the vertical threat the offense needed. Also praised OL Sam Heck (5th round) as a technically sound player whose “short arms” caused him to fall but who has proven himself.     •    Luke: Mentioned CB Will Lee (6’1”, 33” arms) fits the Panthers’ DB prototype — big, long corners.     •    Luke: Praised S/LB hybrid Zaki Wheatley (5th round, 6’3”) as a big nickel similar to Trayvon Merek.     •    Luke: Excited about the linebacker competition between Devin Lloyd, Trevvin Wallace, and Claudin Cherless.     •    JJ: Noted Panthers had the #1 “steal/overreach” rating in the entire draft — drafting players lower than consensus big boards projected. Around the League     •    Luke: Admitted being “a little jealous” that the Miami Dolphins drafted LB Jacob Rodriguez (Luke’s favorite LB in the draft). Has personal connections to Miami’s coaching staff (Jeff Hafley, DC Shawn Dugen — a childhood teammate).     •    Luke: Also noted Miami’s selection of OT/G Kaden Proctor out of Alabama, who will likely move to guard. League Trends — Bigger Tight Ends / 12 & 13 Personnel     •    JJ: Observed the NFL saw its highest run rate in ~11 years (~52%) and a notable pivot toward big blocking tight ends in this draft.     •    Luke: Explained the cyclical nature of NFL offense/defense evolution — as defenses get smaller to match spread offenses, teams counter with bigger personnel (12/13 formations), which then forces defenses to get bigger at the nickel/“big nickel” spot. Called it an ongoing arms race.
