Cam needs Help story from BR.


WOW!!

Recommended Posts

Since some people feel the need to post all the crappy opinions and articles about Cam. I thought I'd post some reality.

So some of you arm chair Qb guru's can truly understand the situation in which Cam was put in this season.

 

This article comes with some nice still picks and analysis as well.

Cam Newton is having quite the career so far.

The former Auburn quarterback became the first overall pick of the 2011 draft just a few months after winning the National Championship. During his debut for the Carolina Panthers, he threw for an incredible 422 yards, the most for any player making his professional debut.

From there, Newton went on to break the record for rushing touchdowns with 14, and he accounted for 35 total scores as a rookie.

By all measures, the beginning to Newton's career was simply phenomenal. He was a 4,000-yard passer who carried his offense by completing 60 percent of his 517 pass attempts. Newton had significantly more total touchdowns than total turnovers, and he did all of this while playing with an underwhelming supporting cast.

Over his next two seasons, Newton's numbers didn't get better but his overall level of play as a quarterback was heading in the right direction.

The early years of Newton's career peaked last season, when he played a major role in guiding the Panthers back to the playoffs. His career was on the right trajectory, as he turned from an incredibly explosive rookie who made a few too many mistakes to a less explosive, but much more efficient overall, quarterback in his third season.

I guess its not common sense not to post the entire article?

 

 

For future reference, are we allowed to do that? I was always under the impression that we were supposed to quote a portion and link the article so that the website would get their desired traffic as well.

    • Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
    • Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was. 
    • I don't think Canales has any problem benching Bryce or moving on if Bryce doesn't come out playing like the end of last year.  It's year 3 no more excuses for Bryce
