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.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out.

    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
