Newton is a big question mark now, after a poor season for Newton and the Panthers. I tend to pass it off as a year in which any quarterback would struggle, seeing that both his offensive line and receiver corps were denuded after the 2013 season. If I’m Carolina GM Dave Gettleman, I may just let Newton play out his final season, at $14.7 million, and see where he is this time next year. “Cam is the most interesting guy right now,’’ said Polian. “When it comes down to it, he hasn’t proven much yet, except he can get hurt. He’s got some tread off his tire already.’’

 

Thank Bill Polian, we'll never forget everything you did for this team, putting them in cap hell then bailing because you got butt blasted over not having the right title on the door of your office.

Uhhhh?  Don't really understand how to comment.  My first thought is that too many variables against Cam's style of play to make a judgement.  Yes, he has been hurt and I think that has hurt his play more than the front office lets on, but the biggest problem is the line and second biggest is receivers and then injury.  Just my opinion.

Yep. OL, then WRs, then his injury.....then he plays for a OC whose style doesn't highlight QB play and also goes into games with a "you know what is coming, try to stop it approach"

He says Cam hasn't proven much, as if 2011-2013 did not exist.

Polian hasn't watched Cam's career.

These talking heads have comments on everything. Impossible for them to comment in the manner they do on virtually everything.....bc they don't sit and watch what is and has been going on with players.

As simple as the towel on the head thing. Every talking head equates it to pouting. None of them ever figured out Cam does it up by 21 and in a groove. It isn't an emotional display....but a sports routine

The irony of the Cam being hurt meme: He's only missed one game his entire NFL career, and that was a game the Genius Rivera decided to sit Cam in.

So now Newton's being criticized for playing hurt? When, his entire career he hasn't been hurt, until the OL went to piss, along with the play calling??

Tony Romo plays hurt, Big Ben plays hurt, Brady broke a leg, Manning neck is screwed on with bolts....

It is football. Guys mobile or not....all get hurt

Yup. That's football.

 

Polian's a tool. That's all we need to know.

 

Plus, I love when national media discusses Newton or the Panthers, Newton gets 95% of the criticism and analysis as if the Head Coach, OC, and other players don't exist/contribute to the teams year and Newton stats.

 

Now we know these guys don't actually watch the games, or even care about the Panthers and Newton if they did. But the irony isl they don't even try to give that appearance, that they watch/know the team when criticizing Newton.

      The "now it's been three years" Grade for the 2023 Draft

      By Steves89 · Posted

      Didn't  see this posted (since 2023) but since folks have been posting that you can't judge a draft class for three years (a ridiculous take), I thought I'd post this to see what people thought about the 2023 draft. Unfortunately this may not be the most interesting class to do this with but I do quite like retrospective draft grades. Would appreciate other's takes on this (and other recent) draft classes.   1(1) - Bryce Young QB: I am a bigger Bryce Young apologist than most (maybe all). I like the kid. But there is no way around it: This was a terrible pick. If he had been picked in the 4th or even the 3rd round I would feel pretty good about it. But this was the first overall pick that we gave up two firsts, our best offensive player to get.  GRADE: C -    2(39) - Jonathan Mingo WR: not much to say here here. He was here for two years. His yards per catch are on par with Bryce's yards per pass. Rough stuff. To date he has still never scored a touchdown in the NFL GRADE: F   3(80) - DJ Johnson OLB: a pick I hated as soon as it happened and an example of why the premise of this thread is honestly dumb. This was a bad pick when it happened. Most people knew it.  Then came training camp and he did not look good. Then came the preseason which confirmed what we saw in TC. Then came the season which confirmed what we saw in preseason. To date, he has half a sack in his career. GRADE: F 4 (114) Chandlers Zavala G: Honestly the best pick of this draft which really speaks to how awful this draft is. Other than Bryce, the only pick still on the team. He is mostly average or below average depth which in round 4 is not terrible. But he had a pff score of 43.5 and though I think people have unrealistic expectations for draft picks, I still would want a little more from a fourth round pick GRADE: C+   5 (145) - Jammie Robinson S: I liked the pick when it happened but ended up being a disappointment. He logged 1 tackle with the falcons last year and not enough snaps to get a grade on PFF.  GRADE: F OVERALL DRAFT GRADE: F
