Cam Newton on Primetime on WFNZ

​It's funny, he went out of his way to say that completion percentage isn't just accuracy, which I'm not really sure what to make of. 

 

I think it means that "accuracy" isn't just a QB stat, its a QB/receiver stat.

A QB can overthrow the pass and the pass is incomplete or intercepted.  That effects passing accuracy.

A receiver can run a lazy, crappy route and the QB places the ball right where it *should* be and the pass is incomplete or intercepted.  That also effects passing accuracy.

A QB makes a crappy throw and the receiver makes an amazing catch.

A QB makes a perfect throw right in the receiver's hands and the receiver flat out drops it.

These things effect passing accuracy.  Yet the "accuracy" stat is continually applied to the QB only whereas it is actually another TEAM stat in my opinion.

Also I can count on three fingers the number of receivers Cam has had in four years that I would call quality NFL-level route runners: Smitty, Shockey (for one year), and Olsen.

JMHO.

Stuff like this is why I always shake my head at the people who think the true quality of a player can be determined just by looking at stats.

If Carolina Carl is on this site..(he is a guy who called in after and always brags about selling his tickets to opposing fans.)

You need to die a horrible death, like having Brandon Spikes hit and run you in the middle of the night. 

To keep it classy, of course....by death I mean like when you cease breathing and have zero brain activity.. but other than that I mean alive. 

Now I shall insert cute picture to offset the dark nature of this post.

Too bad the YouTube video cuts off very early. Is there a place to hear the whole thing?
