To the good part that we care about on page 2:

 

 

 

Cam Newton is an interesting case. He got screwed over by his receivers dropping some excellent passes or not being on the same page, yet has been able to stand on his own in spite of this. While not an excellent deep ball passer, Newton’s film was a nice surprise.

 

Nothing we didn't already know, but it's nice to see we aren't crazy in thinking the guy just needs a little bit of help. Interesting look for all the QBs

 

Talk amongst yourselves.

Yep, Cam throws a very good deep ball, we just had no one to go get them last year.  I think people underestimate just how big it is for us to get Ginn back.  Not only for returns, but also as a WR.  I'm not trying to oversell Ginn as a WR.  He's never going to be a great WR, but the one thing he does well as a WR is the biggest thing our WR corps lacked last year.

 

I do think that we're looking for a field stretcher to pair with KB.  I really, really, REALLY like Jaelen Strong, but I think we're probably looking for a guy like the above mentioned Devin Smith to put opposite KB.

It's really a mixed bag with Cam. I can't always tell if he's throwing the ball away or if it's an errant deep pass. KB caught a few balls out of bounds that looked like Cam just ran out of room to put the ball. Maybe KB didn't give enough room but I'm no scout.

I've always said Cam is an inaccurate deep ball thrower. When I say deep ball, I'm talking receivers running a 9 route type deep ball, not balls of 16+ yards. I'm talking 20-25 or more downfield when I talk about his inaccuracy. Nice to know this year he was at least better than average.

      The good thing about replacing a bad player is you really have nothing to lose. If their replacement is bad so what, you didn't get much worse and probably saved money.

      I came over from the old Panthers Insider site. When Fox Sports bought that platform it slowly just started dying plus the guy who ran that site was dealing with some pretty significant health issues so the whole thing just slowly fell apart. Quite a few of us migrated over here. Not sure how many are still around.  I miss that place. It struck a nice balance of having enough active posters to keep productive conversation flowing but didn't have so much traffic that you end up with a lot of trolling BS. This place is getting there though since we shutdown new registrations but at some point we're going to have to open it back up or we'll watch this place slowly die off too as posters fall off for one reason or another. We just have to figure out a way to filter out the spam bots. It was a never ending battle to ban the spam bots to keep then from overrunning the site. You'd think they'd be a little more strategic. I mean, if you fill a site with nothing but spam people are just going to stop coming so it's not a sustainable model. But nope, every one of them makes dozens of duplicate threads filling up pages upon pages as soon as their account goes live.

      lol...I don't remember that.  Although recalling what I had for breakfast yesterday is sometimes a challenge.  Hope it was a positive thing.
