Meanwhile on the Falcons board....

I hope they sign Cam to a huge, record breaking contract. He's so awful.

 

Pay close attention to the passes that Newton actually completes. Rarely do you see the guy make that precise throw that travels more than 10 yards and hits the WR in stride in a tight window, he complete's the lions share of his passes on short routes or dump off passes and is probably one of the worst at the throwing the sideline out pass that I've ever seen. Newton makes the most damage when he uses his feet-something that will lead to a short career if this year alone is any indication due to all the hits he takes. This guy is about to get PAID, and don't think that won't effect the rest of that team once he does. Not only that but the fans are once again smitten with Rivera who's had 1 winning season in 4 years.

 

 

Yeah, Congrats Panties!  You've won your first AND LAST playoff game with Sir Cameron Newton: Leader of Men, Lover of Puppies...Esquire!

 

LOL these guys are a salt mine.

LOL these guys are a salt mine.

To be completely honest the 2nd one is sort of right. I can't remember the last time Cam hit a target in stride and the pass went for big yds, a majority of his catches are when a target is on a island, they catch it and either go out of bounds or hardly get yds after catch, Cam's deep ball is extremely alarming also.

    • Going from the 32nd to 27th ranked QB is a huge achievement indeed.
    • I do expect the offense to fall back to earth next year if everything stays the same.  It is kinda like how the Panthers and even now the Chiefs won in the past.  Winning many close, coin flip games.  It never lasts from season to season usually. 
    • Biased is one way of putting it. The NFL is an entertainment product in the strictest legal sense. Although I might yell it out on game days, I do not believe the games are outright “rigged” meaning there is one team that is going to win no matter what happens. It’s impossible. There’s too much variance in the game that can prevent a truly rigged game from happening unless there was cooperation from many parties involved. What I am thoroughly convinced happens is that the NFL and referees “manage” the games towards certain outcomes. And that is done primarily through referee crew choice however I wouldn’t be surprised if there’s more going on behind the curtain.  The NFL uses the officials statistical tendencies to call penalties is to keep games close to drive user engagement. For example, If a crew tends to call more false start penalties, and there’s a game between a heavy pass offense where the NFL would like to manufacture a close game where it might have potential to be a blowout, then they’ll assign a crew that will slow that offense down and keep the game close.  There is an insane amount of marketing and now sports betting money that is married to the NFL economic ecosystem. To think this whole system is fair when the referee union has no outward accountability structure for poor performance is just naive. It’s closer to the WWE than outward appearances suggest, but it’s not a fully scripted outcome either. So for those who say “stop watching” if you don’t want to watch a “rigged” game, it’s an entertainment product. You can still be entertained by it, even if it’s not as fair as a truly merit based sporting event.
