Have any of you noticed a difference in Cams deep throws?

[Ivan The Awesome]

I didn't watch the game but I did see highlights. If I am not mistaken,  Cam added touch to his deep throws. The connection with Ginn Jr.  Even the play at practice a couple of days ago. If he had added that to his arsenal. Holy poo... Cam will be very dangerous with that alone. It could be because if his improved foot work?  I'm not sure but what I am sure of is that he never had touch in those throws before.

To me it looked like he wasn't throwing off his back foot as much as he has in the past

he's looked a lot less rushed in the pocket. funny how things like footwork can improve when byron bell isn't curtseying the crashing end

to be fair, Bell has always been more of a do-si-do-er than an outright curtseyer.

Actually I did notice a little more of this. Granted he was missing some of these long touch passes but he was trying it. I think Flutie/Wilson and others have proven it to be extremely effective in breaking down NFL defenses.

He's added more touch and arc in his long ball it looks like. Will be very dangerous if it's consistent during the regular season.

The really cool thing is, nobody sees it coming. Once Cam gets his timing down with 3-4 receivers...the NFL gonna blow up real good.

Patience people. Remember this thread. Because it will be important. Because people on this board freak out after a single series half the time.

Yes, he has improved the touch on his long ball. I too think it has to do with him feeling more secure on the pocket now that the revolving door is no longer playing left tackle for us. He has time to step into the throw and have better mechanics. Reminds me of his rookie season when he hit Smitty in stride down the middle of the field late on an absolute bomb. He's not necessarily adding this to his arsenal...he's just healthy and has a decent OL enough to make him feel safe and like he can trust them, so the long ball is coming back to him.

His touch was much improved. Scratch another 'weakness' off the list. All that's left is anticipation.

Now I'm gonna have Carly Simon singing in my head all day.

It's not the bombs that concern me (as you say,  he may be getting better),  it's those missiles over the middle that just might kill a ni---my bad, receiva---when Cam throws them high. Like @ItsPantone278 said in the other thread,  KB looked like he was going to be broken in half.

yea, I noticed the same. Even the deep throw that was just beyond Brown looked like it was very well placed, just Brown seemed to slow down a bit expecting it to be a little short. 

[the butch]

For the first time in his career he's both healthy and able to plant his lead foot. 

[panthers55]

His long ball improved when he got several big targets to throw to and a speedy guy like Ginn. Amazing what talent will do to improve a quarterback. Cam didn't forget how to throw deep balls from his rookie year to now. The wide receiver talent level finally has improved to the point that it is easier for Cam to find targets and make the throws while being given time in pocket. His O line allowed him to focus downfield.

Wow.  NFL.com continues the Cam hate.  This is the only comment they make about the Panthers in their "What we learned from Friday's pre-season games" article:

2. Chalk up the glowing reports of Cam Newton's improved footwork to offseason trope. That's not to say Newton isn't a great player or a franchise quarterback. But he's still the same inconsistent upper-body thrower with accuracy issues as a passer.
