Short Accuracy

17/20

 

A sporadic passer, Cam Newton (6'5", 245 lbs, four seasons) is still looking to take the next step in the NFL. Missing some throws, at times coming late, the former Auburn Tiger needs to tighten up his handle in the short and intermediate game.

 

Deep Accuracy

16/20

 

While not having a lot of help, Newton doesn't wow with his deep-ball potential. He seems to hang a high number of balls, losing sight of the anticipation needed to throw to targets in stride.

 

Arm Strength

19/20

 

When you look at Newton's tools, he's got everything you could ask for. He's got a good frame and amazing wheels, but his arm might be his largest asset.

 

Decision-Making

16/20

 

He has a tendency to make bonehead plays every once in a while. More than anything, Newton needs to learn to pick his spots better. Too often he's overly aggressive, and that gets him into trouble.

 

Mechanics

8/10

 

Newton's mechanics are fine but not perfect. He gets a bit bouncy, but he's still more often than not able to do well enough to send a ball popping off his hand.

 

Mobility

5/5

 

As far as a height-weight-speed combination, he's probably the best in the league. He's the prototypical hummer-hybrid new-age gurus want to get their hands on. Elusive at his size, it's tough for anyone to get an open-field tackle on the Carolina passer.

 

Starter

5/5

 

Limited by injury at times, Cam Newton didn't look like the Superman-type athlete he has in the past. Assuming he recovers well, he should be well worth a large contract from the Panthers, but he also needs to refine his game, working on not forcing the ball into closed windows.

 

 

Overall

86/100

He was ranked 14th in the Top 50 QBs.  DA was ranked 35th, it's hard to take the list seriously when Bridgewater is 12.

      What to Consider when you Draft in Round 1

      By Growl · Posted

      fans view “box safety” with the same disdain they have when they hear “game manager” QB.   but there’s a reason most 1st round safeties are “box safeties”-it’s a much longer list of requisite skills to be a good box safety than it is to be a guy whose only real responsibility is to not get beat over the top. Fans crave the ed reed type and as someone who has never been able to enjoy this franchise having a guy like that, I get the enthusiasm-but I’m not really prepared to spend a first round pick on a free safety. If it happens it’ll be fun, it’ll address a need with a good player and that’s well and good. But those guys end up walking after their first contract because their pedigree usually outpaces what their teams feel like they’re adding to their overall win total.

      BREAKING!!! Panthers signing Packers LT Rasheed Walker

      By Basbear · Posted

      Its criminal that the upcoming season is mainly in the tiny hands of BY.  I still member the time I did a full turn, if you member his first off-season from that Panthers all-time worst team....... Answering questions at his first presser, he goes along the lines " I didn't do nothing, no weight room or throwing" " I needed to get away". I was fully out with him, the guy didn't even try to improve his football mind, body, strength, in the biggest joke of panther football. I could not believe it, what a leader or dare say "point guard"(lols @ NBA point guards as a ref)

      I view FS almost as the NT of the secondary. Oftentimes the true measure of his impact isn't necessarily in the plays that he makes but what he allows you to do with the rest of your defense to allow them to make plays. When you have that elite true sideline to sideline FS safety blanket over the top of the defense it allows you to be a lot more aggressive with everyone else. Where as when you have a Nick Scott as your last line of defense you gotta be mindful to not have to rely too heavily on that.
