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

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.

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.

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.

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. 

  

I just can't get rid of the box below while on my phone

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.

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.

      You bring up a good point on the stability part and i would agree that probably will factor into it. But yes, Tepper does have a strong influence on who stays/goes but I still believe ultimately it'is Morgan, Tilis and Canales who will decide.

      I can always count on yout to put things so delicately lol. I'm still not sold on the fact that Tepper will make them keep him if they don't see him as a long term answer.

      holy poo... this thread inspired me to keep trying to guess passwords to various alts I've created over the years and I finally got in! I pretty much accepted my fate as a lurker for the last several months because I could not remember my password. I didn't realize that new users couldn't join either, that explains things. I have been around for years under several different monikers, through the good and bad. I too always find myself coming back here even with all of the new social media options for Panther fan engagement. It's simply nostalgic.   I do get extremely annoyed with the same 5-10 posters shitting on Bryce and complaining about everything. It's unfortunate that half of them are mods and that nobody new can join because now I pretty much just come on here and see Bryce / Panther slander. There is barely any positivity to be had. We all watch this team and hang on this forum for entertainment purposes only. We have no control or say in anything. I used to be such a crazy ass fan that would argue with strangers about Cam newton on the internet and at games. Now, as a father of 3, a business owner and someone with way gnarlier life problems - I like to watch football and talk about football as an escape. Not to bitch more. I really like the direction of the team and will root anyone in a Panthers jersey. I live down the street from the Rams practice facility, Matthew Stafford is currently coaching his daughters flag football team in the same program I coach my sons. I have two highly ranked Rams staff members sons on my team. The way we beat them and had them on the ropes in the playoffs has me feeling amazing, and you would think we have the next great thing in Bryce with the way they all speak of him. I'm gonna ride that high and be a delusional fan, I hope that huddle can stick around or get fixed and perhaps I will get back to posting more now that I can log in again. I will do my best to not get banned. Keep Pounding!
