Cam has gotten the David Carr's because of the lack of protection, again.

"Cam has never been great with his mechanics," Stewart said. "That’s not his game. But it’s obvious he’s taken a lot of hits and it’s changing him. Before, he could get away with a lot of that stuff and make it work. … This is really hard to correct, especially when your athletic ability is better than your passing skills."

Newton and the Panthers have used that athletic skill extensively. The Panthers have made read-option plays a regular part of the offense and often use Newton as a glorified running back in the offense with so many designed runs.

Primarily, this is the way he likes to play and how he has played dating back to when he was in high school and college. At 6'5", 245 pounds, Newton has always liked to use his size and speed to his advantage.

"You want to utilize all of his abilities when you have him with the ball in his hands," said former Pro Bowl offensive lineman LeCharles Bentley, who runs O-Line Performance in Phoenix and studies offensive play. "You make it work until the wheels come off…you’d be crazy to buy a Lamborghini and drive the speed limit. You might as well buy a Honda and efficiently go about your business."

"It’s going to go away, either naturally or the defense is going to beat it out of him," Bentley said. "I don’t blame the coaches for what they’re doing with him. You have to use the talents that are there. We’re not yet where the alarm has to be rung, but he has to adapt. All players have to adapt. Peyton Manning, after he had all those neck surgeries, he wasn’t the same. But he found a way to adapt so that he could keep playing."

At the same time, Manning was always a skilled passer. Newton is a quarterback who uses his own running ability to set up the rest of his game and the Panthers offense. At least that’s how he has played so far in his career.

Can he refine his passing skills as his body continues to take a toll?

"I would never put limitations on him," one general manager said. "He’s too talented. But what you’re talking about is not easy, and he has to start making the transition earlier. I think the whole team has to make a conscious effort to make that transition. You have to cut the runs down. You have to work on that offensive line, because they’re not great. You have to put in some easier, quicker throws.

No he wasn't. He was the best quarterback and among the best passers but certainly wasn't the best passer.

Brady, Rodgers, could argue Palmer even if only talking reg season.

1 David Carr is enough, really.

[MechaZain]

• 3rd quarterback in NFL history to pass for over 3.000 yards in his first five seasons
• Fifth quarterback in NFL history with 3+ games with 5+ touchdown passes in a season
• Sixth quarterback to throw for 400+ yards in back to back games
• Currently 17th All-Time in Passer Rating ahead of Brett Favre, Dan Marino, Steve McNair...

Just cherry picking some passing only stats. There's always room to improve but "Cam isn't a skilled passer" is a false narrative. This fanbase should know better considering the drops and OL woes.
