Our first UDFA lays out out 2nd round pick


Recommended Posts

Don't compare Cam to a converted receiver. Cam throws high sometimes, but not as often as popular opinion here.

 

that was the point made of why we are getting bigger receivers and it happens often enough to make it hypocritical to point it out about someone else and not own it for ourself. So, converted wr or not, don't run down another when we deal with similar issues.

Big difference between throwing high and throwing someone into coverage.

If you see any similarity between Devin Gardner and Cam Newton as passers you don't know what your looking at. 

 

the similarity is the hypocrisy of making excuses for one and against the other. Yes there are similarities, Cam overthrows a lot, he throws high a lot. Funchess is being hailed as a big who can help with that issue. That is the truth and Cam is still struggling with it. Mobile qb who throws high, yes there is a similarity and to deny that is just being dishonest.

The hyperbole is real.

A lot? If one for every ten to eleven passes is a lot then well you probably need to take a statistics course again. Cam is good for 2-3 high passes a game. Luck and Wilson average 5.1, and yet Cam is the streaky one.

 

he is a 60 % passer, Gardner is a 60% passer, there are similarities and if 2-3 high passes a game are negligible then no one would be saying height is a real advantage for the purpose of bringing in those high passes. I never said anything about Luck or Wilson or the "streaky" one. The pt is not to use Gardner as an excuse or use Funchess' height as a proof when similar circumstances exist.

 2-3 a half is more like it but hey that's not the pt right?

Gardener plays in the NCAA. That comparison is a very irresponsible one. Bad QBs can complete 55% of their throws (see The Golden Calf of Bristol and Logan Thomas) in college. Regardless, the point here is Cam doesn't put his receivers into trouble like Gardener does.

 

the pt is he has to deal with the same erratic type passes so he is not the answer to high throws like many are making him out to be or he would have been the answer to the same type passes in college which is a slower game than the pros and is a little easier than the pro game.
