GM's questioning Panthers use of Newton

[mc52beast]

I know there have been rumblings here about how Ron and Mike are using Cam in the run game... guess there are some GM's who are wondering the same thing.http://bleacherreport.com/articles/2667372-insider-buzz-nfl-gms-question-panthers-usage-of-cam-newton-after-injury

these are guys who have waited 6 years for Cam to sustain some kind of injury while running so they can trot out the "see? I said this before the draft" shtick.

 

Oh and it's Jason Cole so don't click the link.

I thought that video was a joke and I was waiting for more. That told me absolutely nothing.

Cam's freakish athletic talent is a blessing and a curse for the Panthers. He's able to do what no other QB in the league can do in terms of mobility and running the football. Unfortunately, his ability to do so has made the team overly reliant on him to get rushing yards and it exposes him to way too many blows on the field.

The Panthers are considered to have a strong rushing attack. We really don't. If Cam were confined to the pocket and not running the read option we'd have an average run game at best. Next season the O-Line needs upgrading to improve pass blocking and run blocking. It's also time to find a replacement for J. Stewart as feature back. It would be nice to remain among the leagues best rushing teams without having to rely on Cam getting 40-50 yards per game.

To be fair, Cam is twice the size of Mike Vick

[chknwing]

lol other GM's will say whatever they can to make Cam one dimensional because they cant stop him with taking illegal shots to the head.

[beastson]

Idc what anybody else say or think, Cam is our run game and it needs to change. 2009 is the last time we had a RB go over 1,000 yards. He had 132 attempts last year, he should be around 30 for a season

Curious, were any of the GMs listed by name and quoted directly?  Not bothering to click the link, so maybe someone can tell me.

We just need to ditch the read option completely. Get an actual run system in here like the Steelers have in Pittsburg, or like Gary Kubiak brought to Denver with his zone blocking scheme. Cam Newton IS our running system. Without him, we do not lead the league in consecutive 100+ yd rushing games. That has to change or else those hits are going to take a toll. I don't care how big he is or how tough he is, those hits start to add up. He should only be running when the pocket collapses or on the goalline.

[Cpt slay a ho]

I'm only for design runs when it's 3rd or 4th and short situations and goaline. Anything else I'm not for, would rather Cam get majority of his yards scrambling out the pocket then design runs 

[pstall]

I bet these GMs are just wanting to give constructive feedback to Dave so he cam keep Cam and Cam's handlers not hear this and they make noise so he ends up elsewhere.  Not at all.
