GM's questioning Panthers use of Newton

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.

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.

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.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
