Football Outsiders break down Cam Newton's development in the pocket this season, specifically looking at the Browns game.

Sorry about that. Phone didn't post the link I wanted. For clarification:

Possibly the worst draft ever:

Story I was actually talking about:

Thanks, and ENJOY BOTH LINKS!

"Elevating teammates is something that is often talked about with the quarterback position but rarely explained. The way a quarterback elevates his teammates is by masking failed blocks and creating separation for his receivers. These are things that can be done in different ways, but are typically most effective from within the confines of the pocket. Newton is now doing this regularly, and it's something that is going to make him and the Panthers offense a tough unit to match up to moving forward."

Good read. Nice to see someone put something out every once in awhile that actually watches Newton play without a set agenda

Good read.

Off topic but has anyone seen TonyN in 4 weeks? Dude just kind of appears and dissapears.

For a big Panthers fan he is never around during the good times

ETA: link isn't sending us to right place

Likely someone's alt account.

This portion, should be cut & paste/Rinse & Repeat to every so called National Analyst who ever speaks about Cam and the Panthers. Because somehow, they never seemed to get the memo.

 

While working effectively from the pocket, Newton is still a dual-threat quarterback. The beauty of this, though, is that his natural instinct ISN'T TO RUN THE BALL."

    • Regardless of how we got here, any rational fan should be excited by how well Bryce played down the stretch. Anyone not happy about that level of play either doesn't know what they're looking at, or they're still trying to drive tired narratives. Obviously, Cam had an all-time rookie season, and I'm not putting the two in the same basket yet, but as someone who has watched every snap of Panthers football since the start of the new millennium (Im old), Bryce was playing at a higher level at the end of 2024 than Cam was at the end of 2012 (his 2nd season). Cam continued to develop into MVP form, something Bryce has to prove, but as someone who watched both (and will stan for Cam always), Bryce was playing at a higher level to end year 2 than Cam did.  Go watch the film if you dont believe me. None of that means anything for the future. But the people who said BY9 couldnt play in this league are wrong.   That being said, the only thing that matters is this year. #20 is perfectly fair IMO going into the season. I mean think about it, how would you rank him??!  His in-season turnaround is one of the wildest things I've ever seen... how do you rank a guy who looked like a massive bust in September and by January was consistently playing at a top 10 level? My excitement level is pretty damn high heading into this season. There were throws from the Chiefs game onward where Bryce had Drew Brees levels of anticipation. Im excited to see what he can do with a full deck on offense, something we really never gave Cam. Really hope and expect Bryce to move up this list this season.  
    • Not really, the only QB's (other than Anthony Richardson) ranked below him are new to their teams as a placeholder starter or drafted in 2024 or 2025, not a lot of gymnastics to get there. It's not about how many that is, if it's 20, 12, or 2... It means there isn't a QB who's team has committed to them for the long term right now that they have ranked below Bryce. That's not a great thing.
    • The changes to onside kicks were ridiculous and ruined a significant part of the game     It was already a high risk low reward play.  Why change it?
