Moooooooose speaks on The Evolution of Cam Newton

Recommended Posts

I love the interview with Moose.It totally supports what I have been saying which that Cam was widely criticized when he came into this league.  He was not considered worth the number 1 pick by many. It has to be gratifying to watch everyone change their tune and have to eat crow. Cam is going to crown this season with a win in the Super Bowl and do in the NFL what he did in college. Win it al and take a decent offense and make them great. Will his team to victory with his athleticism and leadership. People who argue that Cam was the consensus pick in the draft need to hear Moose tell it like it was. The way I remember it  too, and not some revisionist history.

As I watched that I was thinking to myself, Why dont they have smart people like Moose on ESPN? He is an analyst. I hope he gets a lot more air time because he was spot on with everything he said including the part about being one of the only ones to put his word down on Cam.

 

I remember him arguing with Frank Garcia, Frank saying he didnt think Cam was gonna do anything in this league. In fact, pretty much all of WFNZ made a point to try and get as many doubters on the air as possible to stir up controversy. If they hadnt done that then maybe Cam would do more interviews with them.

 

Man they lost a lot of air time and marketing dollars by screwing that up. A couple of big interviews with Cam would get huge air time right now. Thats their system though, Chip Kelly style. WFNZ thinks its ok to just commit to being douchebags.

 

Moose decided to never start that show with Frank because thats what the WFNZ guys are all about. They wont inform you about how the offense works are give you details about the teams intricacies. Just that there was a disagreement or a fight or someone said we suck.

lol, Breaking Loose with Frank but woops no Moose. It couldve been awesome and the ratings couldve been huge. . . but WFNZ went with "Lets continue to be trolls".

Good to know I"m still in your head, on your mind. 

Take a listen to this audio from 12:40-14:50.

From 12:40 it illustrates your thinking somewhat (Doug Farrar felt Cam would go #1 in Feb of 2011, then Gabbert signs with CAA, so there's a big media push with Gabbert, and Farrar thinks Gabbert may go #1 over Newton). Of course, you didn't think Newton would ever go #2 as far deep as Feb 2011 in the first place (hehe)....We get that. 

Don't worry. All the Nolan Nolan Nawrocki, Running QB, Character issue's stuff's brought up as well. You know, the stuff you believed why 'many thought he was such an awful pick', such as the guys on WFNZ, Charlotte and in the media. LOL

From 14:20: The record is set straight regarding Cam and NFL people vs stereotypes and what's was said in the media. The writer specifically addresses, and debunks what you're saying here. And he was a believer, contributor of it somewhat; as you will see.

This takes place Feb 2011 as well, loooooooong before the draft (and 2015-16).

I will not quote the dialogue, cause I wanna make sure/see if you listened.

So please lets end the subject, and veiled passive aggressive outburst once and for all. We'll just agree to disagree, unless you have some sort of an agenda.

Ironically, your last contention was regarding Cam's rookie year (and how he couldn't throw, read defenses, and just wasn't that good a Rookie). So you lost that one, now you continue to expand things, and move the goal post where you feel you have more support.

BTW: Stay focused and please listen to that audio from 12:40-14:50 with a cogent, thoughtful response, if you do.

    • Like many of the old heads, I’ve been here for a long time.  I got a lot of respect for everyone on this board for your dedication to this team.  We’ve all been through it during the tougher years. At this point in life, I’m not one to judge anyone’s level of dedication, or their reasons why anymore.  Time, and a lot of bad football, will do that.  For me, it’s simple.  We share a common bond.  For that, I love and appreciate all of you crazy SOB’s. For me, last season was at a minimum, entertaining.  BY lead a young team to multiple come from behind 4th qtr wins.  That showed me heart, and that he has the clutch gene.  That’s the wildcard intangible.  For me, that was fun to watch even  if it was mindbogglingly frustrating at times.  Over the past two seasons, we have progressively built a better team around him.  On paper, the defense should be better this season.  That’ll help.  Let’s see what he can do as the other guys continue to develop too.  Besides, his contract is cheap for a few more years, and we just made some smart cap decisions during the draft. Let’s see how it shakes out. 
    • Hiring Shula & his Cam save us playbook.
    • I would very much liked to have seen Jake Delhomme's career if Tommy Jone no hurt Jake.  I just know that roster and the leadership were destined to hit paydirt but Jake was never the same after the elbow injury, and unfortunately he was the sole reason they didn't make it back to the big one.  I think that 08 team was the best in the league, and Jake masked his inability well all season til the Arizona game put it all on display.  I'll go back to the season prior even and say the 07 team was primed to be a competitor.  Jake was off to a fantastic start that year (for a Panthers QB).  They may have been a championship caliber club for a few seasons after 08 too.
