Does Newton still dive head first during preseason?

​they would have to make a rule, for example, that the QB can't extend the football then. It wouldn't be fair that the defender couldn't defend against a QB diving and extending the football with his arms. 

Except for the fact that Cam never extends his arms.

He goes full fetal.

Well the problems see with cam sliding is he tried to do it last year and got hit.  No call I'm guessing because he's cam and not some non running QB.  I'd hate for him to be injured on a no call because he slid.  Other than that I agree no craziness in preseason just don't run him. Or at least be careful.

    • I didn't say I thought throwing it was a bad decision, I said I thought not running those 3-5 yard routes to pick up the 1st down wasn't a great call.  Yes the play worked out, but I didn't love the play call, it's like when a bad shooter is taking a 3 and you're yelling "no no no" as they're going up and then they make it so it worked out. That's still gambling on them to make the play and I take no issue with that. But I just went and watched the play again, we had T-Mac and XL running downfield crossing routes, Coker went in motion behind the LOS and then moved up a yard or two after the snap but not even past the LOS, Sanders chipped the DE and then ran a drag route right long the LOS. The play worked out, but I don't really like that particular play call and route tree with the game on the line on a 4th and 2.  If you want to send one route downfield as an option that's fine, but there were only 2 realistic target options with that route tree and they were both 15-20 yards downfield.
    • If BY comes back, they 100% need to bring in legit competition.    Heres what as you are alluding too. This team can either sign Icky&Mays or BY, I do not see both without cuts/trades/etc. My vote is for Icky&Mays, draft a QB....  
    • JB shouldn’t even be a thought IMO.  Bonus if he ever matters for us.
