Cam's Most Important Offseason Yet


WUnderhill

Recommended Posts

Let me just say, I think we need a new offensive coordinator and QBs coach. I don't think Shula and Dorsey are good enough.

 

But, I also don't think those things will happen.

 

How dare you. You've got a guy who has been fired from just about every coaching job he's had, and another guy who has never coached at any level before. What's not to like about the idea of these guys being responsible for the development of our franchise quarterback?

I'll look at the replay this afternoon to be sure.

But I remember thinking clearly that if Cam had of lead Tolbert with a soft lob it would have been a big gain.

Tolbert isn't a tight end. You aren't going to throw a soft lob to him in the middle of the field against Seattle.

Cam has zero confidence in any receiver to throw a soft lob for them.

He hit him square in the hands and led him perfectly. You can't throw a ball any better than that. If you don't trust him to make that catch you aren't going to lob the ball up for him to catch between two defenders closing in on him

Plus Tolbert was coming across the field not running up the seam

1. PFF rates Cam Newton as #31 of 32 starting QBs in accuracy in 2014. If you have 2 players on your roster with over 1000 receiving yards, how do you then resolve the issue above?

 

2. Red zone timing is horrible.

 

3. At times, Newton looks like his audibles are spot on, other times he doesn't bother to check out of an obvious situation.

Does anyone here actually know that Shula and Dorsey are not working with Cam on all these issues or are we just making assumptions because we want to put as little blame as possible on Cam for his weaknesses?

 

Cam Newton has been anointed as the franchise QB of this team, therefore he has no issues and Huddle posters are forbidden from placing any blame or call out any weaknesses on his part. 

 

Cam Newton, in my opinion, is a ridiculous athlete with above average QB skills. His accuracy is atrocious (second worst in the league according to PFF), the Auburn read-option is holding him back, his mechanics and footwork are horrible. All of these issues can be coached up and the offensive identity of this team can also be coached up. Whatever happened to the good ol' I-formation like Seattle runs?

    • Just another 1st round QB that never paid off for the team that drafted them or traded for them. It's been like this since the SB began. 36 QBs have now won the SB & only 13 of them have been 1st rounders winning with their original team. Namath 1968, Griese 1972, Bradshaw 1974, McMahon 1985, Simms 1986, Aikman 1992, Elway 1997, Roethlisberger 2005, P.Manning 2006, E.Manning 2007, Rodgers 2010, Flacco 2012, & Mahomes 2019. Only 3 have taken longer than 5 seasons as the starter to win a SB.  4  6  5  4  6  4  15  2  9  4  3  5  2 [the years it takes for these 1st round QBs] 5  1  4  1  3  1  1  2  3  4  [10 of the 36 have won a chip with their 1st team that haven't been drafted in the 1st round. These are the years it took them as a starter] What stands out? Only 2 of these QBs have lost their first championship appearance. Elway took 4 years as a 1st rounder & Hurts took 2 years as a 2nd rounder. Of the 10 non-1st round QBs, 2 are 2nd rounders, 3 are 3rd rounders, 5 are 6th rounders or later. Please stop wasting time on drafting 1st round QBs with such a high failure rate. The remaining 13 QBs are traded or free agent signings. Stafford, Favre, Young, Williams and Dawson are the 5 trades. Peyton Manning & Tom Brady also won for teams as free agents on a short stay as well as being drafted. The lesson here is don't waste your franchise on farming up 1st rounders for the league, and steer clear of trading for a franchise QB. Stick to finding that championship QB by drafting them outside of the 1st round or through free agency.  
    • I lost most of the respect I had for Fox in 2010. He should have resigned if he hated the job that much. Instead he stuck for his paycheck and let stuff go to hell.    I burned out on Ron too but my deal breaker issue with him was away from football and after he was gone from the Panthers. He may have been out of his depth but never quit on us. 
    • From where they were one year ago to now, pretty incredible. I mean, say what you want about Vrabel he is no Jerrod Mayo.
