What Haters Don't Understand about Cam Newton

So all of us real fans here understand how great of player Cam is and is continuing to be. He has upped his game to new levels that we had previously seen only flashes of. 

But one thing that grinds my gears is the continued narrative that Cam is not a cerebral QB. I think it's a load of BS and if Cam wasn't as athletic as he is he would still be a great QB. Probably Flacco-esque.

He makes the right reads, audibles and consistently looks off defenders. Opposing fans are quick to judge #1 because of all of his rushing stats and short yardage plays. 

But here's what these morons don't understand. The objective is to win the game. Not pass the ball to increase his 3rd down passer rating and impress fat ass madden couch quarterbacks around the nation.

When you are 6'5, 240lbs and as fast as Cam is. Sometimes the most effective and efficient  play is to tuck it and run. It's the smart play that wins the game. This why Cam is unique and hard to defend. Because he can do this and be a great passing QB on top of that.

Anyway I needed to rant this out because it's been pissing me off. Keep Pounding, love y'all.

I don't know where you have been hearing that he isn't a cerebral QB. This narrative you speak of is coming from couch coaches in the comments section of ESPN and NFL.com. That certainly isn't the consensus among analysts and former players this year. 

In a nutshell, this thread belongs in 2014.

He's just now getting respect. But yeah I'm basically talking about the dumbass fans around the league that dont know Cam. Look no further than the "What blank fans are saying" threads. They all say the same crap each week.  Then their team gets owned.  

I'm just wondering how much longer the excuses will hold up.

      Joe Person: Austin Corbett is not expected back with Panthers

      By MHS831 · Posted

      Here is what it said about him coming out of college: Overview A three-year starter with good feet and technique, Samac could be in consideration for a move-blocking rushing attack. He is strong at the point of attack but will have limitations against NFL power. He operates with good hand placement and nimble feet and is a demon once he’s on the move as a pulling center leading the way. He’s fluid and agile in the run game, but those traits fail to do as much for him in protection. Samac punches with inside hands but can struggle to widen his protection base in order to protect his edges. He has eventual starting talent as a run blocker but needs to add more mass and improve in pass protection to get there.

      Through 2 games cltfc has 12 shot attempts. Opponents 23 shots on target. Attack sucks, Defense definitely sucks. Kahlina is the only reason they haven't given up 14 goals in two games.

      Steve Smith on Ron Rivera

      By MHS831 · Posted

      I met a few times--never liked him. I figured he might have had a bad day--but then realized that he must have a lot of bad days. Once he raised his voice at my son because my son did not understand a question when SS was signing his jersey.  I wanted the jersey to represent his encounter with a Panther great, not some small man with a bad attitude.  I told me son, "Forget it.  He was asking you what your name is (My son was about 7 and told me that he thought Smitty was going to write (my son's) name on the jersey.  He said "Dad, I thought he was supposed to write HIS name on the jersey, not mine."  I said, "He was personalizing it, writing it to you--like a birthday card."  He is now grown, and he has a steve smith Jersey that is framed and matted.  He keeps it is his closet.  I asked him, "Why not have that out on your wall?"  He said, "All I remember is an A-hole scribbled on my shirt.  I don't remember a legend or hero.  But he had a Jake Delhomme Jersey on his wall.  "Jake was great.  I will always remember that."  (Jake stayed and talked to us for about 5 minutes or more--GREAT guy.)
