Did anyone else notice how Cam...

Seemed so calm and poised on those final drives?  No rushing, no worrying, just going out there and doing the job?

 

There are a lot of things that can be talked about that went wrong last night, but watching Cam last night and also in Seattle just step up and do the job is so awesome.

That was also probably as fired up as I've ever seen him at points last night when he was running all over him.

His first two seasons there were questions about his "clutch gene" and ability to get the win in big moments. He has silenced those critics and been lights out lately when his team needs him most. Man how I wish Ginn caught that ball... that would have been another unbelievable moment in Cam's young career. The walk-off home run ball on MNF. He was as clutch as it gets at Auburn and he's learned to win close games at this level. I'm not sure it's something that can be taught and he's continued to raise his level of play when the lights are brightest.

It was tough to watch Ginn drop it, but what a throw from Newton on that one.

That is one of the best I've seen Cam throw, he threw it with pinpoint accuracy after having to rush the throw with a defender barreling down on him right in his face. These are the types of throws that the best in the game make. Sadly, Ginn couldn't come down with it, but the ball was placed perfectly.

Cam held his composure.  He had some bad throws, some overthrows, but the rain was killer and let's be honest, on that interception Ginn could have tried to break it up instead of just standing there like a dummy.  But second half, Cam was clutch and that pass to Ginn, on the backfoot and with pressure, was amazing, and Ginn blew it.  Not to mention Olson's drops.  Cam was playing pretty well for the most part.

Remember, a lot of potential 4th Qtr/late wins Cam could or should have had his first two years were lost by the defense and bad clock management/decisions by Rivera as we he was learning how to coach. A  lot of that gets missed by 95% of national reporters who don't follow the team as we do.

I think Cam Newton is going to have probably the most interesting biography once he hangs his cleats up.  

For years, people have played Cam's "swag" as arrogence, as being a jerk, as being fake.  But I think for Cam, the "swag" runs much deeper, personal.  Sure, when he came in, he thought he was going to become the best in the league.  He was ORoY, set records, was one of the new faces of the NFL.  Then came some struggles, the boo birds at home, the doubt.  But Cam has always had this inner confidence.  It rubbed folks the wrong way, but now we're seeing the benefit.

He doesn't give up, he doesn't give up on his guys.  Miss a ball?  Tip for a pick?  Don't matter, if you're open, he will let you make a play.  Man, what a wonderful leadership trait that is. That's a special kind of confidence that few in the NFL have.  Few in the NFL can elevate their players the way Cam has done.

Good scouting or plain Luck (hahahaha....terrible, I know!), we have something very special in Cam Newton.  Man, what a GREAT time to be a Panther fan!!!

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
