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."

    • Really? Wow. Sorry. Got my timeline messed up. I remember someone claiming to be Graham’s mom on the old Charlotte.com board so I guess it was a long time ago that he was here. I guess I thought he was after Kasay. 
    • Nick Scott has gotten his share of Huddle hate, but I came across this SI article by Zach Roberts when I was researching recently released Quandre Diggs, speculated to be a better option  (https://lastwordonsports.com/nfl/2025/11/07/breaking-titans-cut-former-three-time-pro-bowler-quandre-diggs-4-destinations-ranked/3/), but getting back to Nick Scott... Now to be fair, the observation on Scott was before the Packers game, but the stats couldn't have changed that much, and may have gotten better.   "At some point during virtually every Carolina Panthers game, you have probably found yourself grumbling about Nick Scott. The much-maligned safety has seemingly been out of position a lot or has failed to make a play. The eye test has often let him down. "But that's why stats are so helpful. Sometimes, the eye test, especially for fans, is unreliable. On occasion, advanced metrics help make sense of things and lend more clarity. In the case of Scott, they make him look like a much better safety than any of us would've guessed. "In coverage, Scott has given up just 15 yards and an average of five yards per catch. That's the lowest among safeties, leading superstars like Julian Love, Talanoa Hafunga, Quandre Diggs, Kerby Joseph, Kyle Hamilton, and Minkah Fitzpatrick. "In FI%, the safety leads all his counterparts once again at 40%. Brian Branch, Camren Kinchens, and Xavier McKinney are some notable names he leads. He's been pretty excellent in pass coverage, which is crucial for the Panthers." For those wondering, "FI" means forced incompletions. Now I'm way past trying to figure out why X links aren't embedding for me like they used to, but here you go: https://x.com/dacornerman/status/1981363757608513632?t=rx_5iLjp8_y5huNcg_y1nA&s=19   Suffice it to say that Scott may not be as bad as some have led on.    https://www.si.com/nfl/panthers/onsi/news/much-maligned-panthers-db-way-better-than-think      
    • Nah it was Graham. I remember watching it live.
