Comparing '94 49ers to '15 Panthers

Recommended Posts

Something to consider:

While I was reading about how Newton should be the MVP (link below), Elliot Harrison compares Cam's season to Steve Young in '94, and with good reason:

Steve Young in '94: 35 TD, 10 INT, 112.8 passer rating, 5.1 yards per rush, 7 rush TD. 
Cam Newton in '15: 35 TD, 10 INT, 99.2 passer rating, 4.8 yards per rush, 10 rush TD.

Some striking resemblances there, pretty cool I guess. My curiosity was piqued, so I decided to compare the 1994 49ers to the 2015 Panthers. Results below.

 

2015 Panthers:                                                                                                

15-1

    • AT got what he deserved. Be gone and enjoy those 4 catches and the bench and your pay cut
    • we have been bad offensively basically every game Rico Dowdle hasn't gone full Tecmo Bowl Bo Jackson on folks.  
    • Strongly disagree with the premise here. Without getting too into it, the biggest gripe for many has always been his footwork and pocket presence.  Shallow drops, happy feet, bad awareness - his overall technique is highly unconventional and not beneficial to his size/frame.  His upper body gets mad out of sync with his lower, drops back parallel to the LOS, erratic behavior. When you take that to the NFL level, you get swallowed up. And he got shellshocked and started bailing way too soon on plays. Unnecessary throwaways when he should step UP into the pocket and hit.   He got away with it in school because sooo much of his work was out of structure or quick hits to Jamo.  He was able to not bail early and stick in the pocket this last game. He also was dropping deeper than he usually does to create sight lanes. He can’t really outrun DLs so he needs to create that space via drop to survey properly. When he does these bs skip hops in the gun, he barely drops and is flooded. He needs to stay active with his feet but learn to step into the pocket more.  His average arm when he’s not doing this right turns Pennington esque.
