same as last year, Rivera says Cam has got to become a more sound QB

last year it was: Rivera on Cam: "He's got to develop as a passer."

today at the NFC coaches breakfast, it was:

Charlotte Observer:

Rivera said he wants to Newton his sharpen his "position-specific skills" this season to become a more polished quarterback.

"I think he relies so much on his great athleticism that sometimes he's not as sound as he needs to be with his fundamentals," Rivera said. "Now as he continues to grow, I think that's the next step is being sound in everything he does."

NFL.com:

Rivera has big plans for Newton in 2015, including more no huddle. ... Rivera said: "One of the things we did to help him, once he was healthy and ready to roll, was to institute a no huddle. He seemed to handle that well. Starting from where we finished, we'd like to see him hone that skill."

Rivera went on to say that Newton needs to continue to try to break away from relying on his athleticism and sharpen himself as a passer. Thinking of Newton as a 100 percent complete quarterback is terrifying for many defensive coordinators.

Rivera: I think Cam's grown and he's on the precipice of taking

the next step to the next level.

Rivera says Newton sometimes relies on athleticism that he's

not sound fundamentally. Wants that to improve.

First move would be get the man some tackles he can have faith in.

Second move consists of a Shula Replacement. 

 

As of now, the sound Cam can hear more than anything is that of his own tackles rollerskates on the turf being pushed in and around his pocket.

 

Remmers gets a pass but he's also upgradable. Nate Chandler should never see RT again...and Bell is Bell...good guy/bad starter .. no resign ..I thank you.

I have a feeling that people are going to make excuses for Cam no matter what. It is always everybody else's fault besides Cam that he still (after 4 years) continually overthrows his receivers, misplaces the ball, takes ill-advised sacks, misreads a defense, forces the ball into triple coverage, etc. Don't think I'm bashing Cam. I think he has done a good job considering he had 1 year of college ball and came from a non-pro offense. But I want to see some better progression. We won't win a superb owl without Cam taking his game to another level.

    • It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed. 
    • I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
