1 Notable Observation of Cam last night

While at best, I was a heap of mush during most of the 4th Qtr last night with all the back and forth action, I couldn't help but notice 1 Very Important characteristic about our Franchise QB.

As the camera panned to the bench every single time the Saints scored, it showed a Cam Newton almost smiling after every Saints score! What's the big deal you ask? Well in the past you would have seen a sulking or angry Cam Newton expression. Not this time, probably not anymore ever!

He was so confident in his facial expressions, that it was almost as if  he knew that he was going to drive our Offense back down the field and score again. This didn't just happen once, there were 4 lead changes in the 4th Qtr alone.

Cam KNEW that they would answer before he even stepped in the field. It was as if he was relishing the moments that were to come, before they even happened!

A confident Cam Newton is likely the most dangerous weapon this league has ever seen!

His development I feel was made complete last night. He now has that killer instinct, and employs it seemingly effortlessly.

Please tell me that I'm not the only one that noticed this last night. While most of our hearts were in our throats, Cam was as solid as they come, and for that reason he took that last step that we see in all great QBs

I think Cam has really learned how to play in the moment.  Just focus on what he can control and each play. 

If a receiver drop a pass, dang it.  Next play.

If he throws an INT, dang it.  Next play.

He's learned that it's a 60 minute game.  He's learned how to control his emotions and himself throughout the game.  That comes with experience and I really think it's a reflection of our head coach.  That bring your lunch pail, focus on the little things approach that Ron has shown since day one has really been instilled into Cam.

I agree with what you're saying. However this already happened in Seattle. 

It wasn't the same last night imo. He hadn't done it at all in a big game until SEA. Last night, like I said, it's as if he knew. He'd been there before a came out on top. Last night the way he looked each time was like "Ok, now it's my turn, and there's nothing u can do about it"

I just wish he wasn't so confident when he tried to stroll in for that TD run.  He's lucky he wasn't evaluated right then and there for a concussion, missing several plays.  It all worked out, but hopefully lesson learned.

Pretty sure he just didn't see the LB coming in so fast for some reason.

Cam said in his presser after that the Saint played seemed like he came out of nowhere.  You can see it on the replay.  Cam is smiling and looking at the other defender thinking he has a walk in TD.  Then he gets blasted.

Said he deserved the hit but it won't happen again.  From now on, when he has a chance to score he will not take his foot off the gas.

Mine was when Ealy fuged up twice on the offside penalties and the first one to come over to him on the sidelines was Cam to get him calmed down.  Who would've thought Cam would be calming someone down?

Cam was letting the big fella know that he could not make those mistakes.....but that we needed him to go out and rip Brees's head off.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By CRA · Posted

      Ravens mixing it up with a random Mark Andrew tush push last year isn't a similar situation.  Lamar has run QB sneaks his entire career.  And often instead of a traditional sneak will even employ a 4th and 1 direct snap to Lamar simply because of how athletic he is (which even Cam did a lot of) and let him pick his own holes.

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By CRA · Posted

      height being an issue doesn't just mean batted balls.  You could argue Bryce minimizes batted balls by adopting other poor habits such as his jump passing and leaving the pocket.   As I said, there are plays you can point to where he clearly was blind to parts of the field/players....which kills plays and opportunity. Which actually means some of the shorter/hot throws when things break down are where his vision gets blocked (and he had below average production all around the line of scrimmage).   has he figured it out? I mean, he improved off a trainwreck start.  But Bryce Young since arriving in the league (even while figuring it out)......doesn't generate much offensive production vs his peers.  I just think his ceiling is low.   And that's not in the grand scheme what you want in the NFL.  I think he can develop into a serviceable QB, that will largely always been a middle of the pack or low end starter.

      How would you feel if Bryce did this in 2025

      People make a lot of noise about his footwork and I think it is overblown. Whether he takes 3 steps backwards or 5 small steps doesn't matter as long as he ends up at the right depth and is in sync with  the receiver regarding timing. If he does that consistently who cares as long as he has a firm stable base as he delivers the ball. Which he does need to work on. However even that is somewhat overblown given that often QBs have to throw off balance or from different arm angles to fit the ball around defenders. He is considered very accurate so apparently it isn't hurting him that much.
