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.

      Bryce laughing (from game day thread)

      By CRA · Posted

      Who is yall? The Bryce “haters”.  This is a wild post bro.  Bryce defenders jumping the shark at this point.  I wanted Cam Newton before anyone was even floating he could be the #1 overall pick lol.  Cam Newton is my Panthers GOAT.  As a real Cam fan, it’s gross BY defenders are trying to use Cam as some sort of Bryce defense tactic.  Comparing BY to Cam is also on par with comparing Jimmy Clausen to Cam.  It’s pretty dang close.

      I agree about Evero deserving credit, but that's also unfortunately where I have to say something that I'm sure won't go over well either. As that's great and all, but honestly, at this point, do we REALLY care about Evero showing improvement in his schemes as a coach other than making our players better individually? If you're in the same boat as me, and 100% expecting a new HC next year, what our DC does this year with in game improvements is nice in the moment, but pointless in the long term since he'll then also be gone next year, no way a DC gets kept around for 3 HC's no matter what he did that previous year. So yes, I give him credit and want us to show improvement there, but it's just unfortunately not something I'm going to get excited about either when looking forward into 2026 and beyond, which as I've clearly said, is really all I'm looking at this year, how it sets up our future as a franchise. Now I'll also be fair there and say if you think Canales and co. will be back next year, then sure, it's something to get excited about, but I just can't see any way Tepper brings him back again.

      PFF Grades vs Dolphins

      PFF has it's uses for certain position groups but it shouldn't be seen as gospel. Sometimes you just have to look at what you're seeing with your own two eyes.
