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.

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.

      Bryce Young 5th year option exercised

      By Tepper's Chest Hair · Posted

      Sometimes its fun to read the threads/posts.  The panthers could literally hire a groundskeeper and we'd have a thread "improving the field for no other reason to prop up Bryce Young".  Apparently no move is ever done to actually make the team better.  All a conspiracy to just focus on Bryce Young. Or suddenly daydreaming and reminiscing about Sam Darnold when he was hated more than Bryce Young.  Its really fun to do a message board search about Darnold during that time period.   Or thinking there is just a tree that grows QB, and you can just easily go up and pluck one.

      Yeah okay. We as an organization have been more patient with him than many. And there has been a small parade of guys drafted since he was, also to bad teams, that have passed him. Some have lapped him. As a fan I am out of patience but he gets this year it is out of my hands always has been. I just hope the bar is higher than it has been for him.    FWIW, XL dropped two passes last year. He did do some other bad stuff, just saying.

      Except it takes those QB's a few years to develop because they needed to learn the mental side of the game and have it catch up to their physical attributes. Bryce was supposed to be a QB savant who already had a fully developed mental side of the game and that was going to make up for his lack of physical ability.  And his lack of NFL level QB physical traits has been clear as day to anyone who has watched him the last 3 years, mainly, he just doesn't have an NFL arm, he can't zip the ball into tight spaces or throw on a line down the field like is needed at this level.
