Cam Newton Respect (Ruiz gets it)

Havent seen this article posted or referenced yet. It's not just another "Cam is best" read. It tells Cam's ascendency story in a way Panther fans will truly appreciate. It's not just that he's good--it's that he's becoming well-rounded. Even though he won't get credit for it by many. But Ruiz sees it, and he has a good idea on how Cam will maintain his competitiveness long-term. Really loved this write-up.

Nice article. I have to think that as Cam dominates again this year that people will start to see him as the amazing QB he is. Sure there will always be the haters but I think Cam can prove how much he is in command of this offense this year. And people will still be baffled and won't have seen it coming.

Lol

I actually like the article linked to this phrase as much as the #1 article that the post is about. Spoiler alert: If you don't like Cam (or anyone for that matter) because of their race...you're a frikkin racist prick!

 “Coordinator Mike Shula will send in a formation and a handful of play calls, and then it’s up to Newton to adjust the alignment of the skill-position players, call for motions and pick the play he thinks has the best chance of success against the defensive look. ‘It’s not much different than what you have seen with Peyton Manning in terms of being out of the shotgun, having to look at defenses and make determinations,’ Rivera says.”

At 27, Newton is already showing the characteristics of the quarterbacks we deify for their minds and total command of an offense."

 

Love it. Just love it.

Love it. Just love it.

The only QBs that really orchestrate their offenses like that are Manning (now retired) Rodgers, Brady. That is next level poo right there. You must have complete control of the offense and really have a good grasp on what the defense is trying to do to even try that.

    • No, I'm starved for contention. If you can't see that and keep wanting to turn things like this back around on T-Mac, then you're just either being purposefully obtuse, or is a fan who is happy having 5-6 win seasons just because we're so used to the 3-4 win seasons and you like "just being better"
    • Chiefs had zero penalties last night
    • You mean the guy who took over a franchise that hadn't had a losing season in the previous 4 seasons... who proceeded to get his team into the playoffs in 3 of his first 4 seasons, only to win 2 games in said playoffs, to then go on to having a 54-74 career record and never won another playoff game after those first two? Who then after being fired from that job, took over a team that was 30-18 in the 3 seasons before he got the job, got into the playoffs that first season, lost their first postseasons game, and then went on to have a 6-26 record over the next 2 seasons? You're literally proving my point by bringing up someone who's claim to fame is that quote. If you just play to win the game, you're never going to be a successful franchise.  You need to play to win the game while ALSO working to make your players better.  Having the former without the latter is a picture perfect recipe to become a stagnant franchise. That's how you work towards being a winning franchise who can contend in the postseason.  And sure, having a stagnant franchise that makes the playoffs every other season is better than what we currently are, but that's not what I strive for with our Panthers, I want to actually contend for championships in my lifetime.
