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.

    • With the contract money an OT first rounder makes you can ALWAYS get a new girlfriend.  And probably an upgrade at that.  You only got 2 parents.
    • Brother. You are wholly confusing comparing situations and applying actual standards like most other franchises do like simply getting into a playoff series and winning at least 1 or 2 series games with praising. Nobody is praising the Hawks. Nobody is praising the Magic. Nobody here likes those teams. But reality is reality. The Hawks like other franchises have traded players fired coaches etc but they can still win a couple playoff games. How is that not the bare floor for you or anyone else? What are we doing here if it isn't? We've seen eye to eye on many things over the years. But you are in the camp on the Hornets where you are emotionally attached to LaMelo where you feel the need to carry his water like he's got that juice. That's cool that you feel that way. It's your prerogative. But I differ from that viewpoint entirely. If he had that juice we would not have gotten wiped off the court in 2 play in games with 2 different coaching staffs and rosters. if people don't like hearing that well I'm sorry but how the hell is this team ever going to get better and ultimately go anywhere in the postseason if we just blindly pat them on the back for getting their asses whooped before they actually even get into the real playoffs? There seem to be some Bryce Young level standards being applied here. That's wild to me. But to each his own.
    • Proctor/Freeling were always the belles of the ball where we were picking. What those two *could* become at OT was far greater than what others could be at their respective positions and I’m glad our FO could see that.
