ESPN article re: Cam's lack of RTP calls with comps (must read)


Montsta

Recommended Posts

Great article to bookmark where the writer breaks down with pictures and gifs blatant missed calls against Cam (even one from the SB), and compares them to other QB's getting hit in a similar fashion. 

Also mentions how Cam has been hit 59 times in the pocket since 2014 and hasn't benefited from a single accepted RTP penalty, where someone hit a similar amount of times in that span (Drew Brees, for example) has drawn 10. Yes, TEN. 

If you think the refs haven't been screwing Cam over, you are out of your mind. Make sure you memorize the facts and stats in the article so that the next time some armchair dipshit talks to you about how Cam is just whining, you can layeth the smack down.

God, I was so pumped up reading that article and then I had to go and read the comments.  I hate people sometimes.  I know the people who commented didn't even read the article, but I seriously don't understand what Cam's hat has to do with anything.

Don't ever, EVER read the comments below a Cam Newton article. It'll just piss you off and make you sad for America's future. 

What I do find interesting (and this can be a discussion for another time), is that the articles done on ESPNW (like articles on Bruce/Caitlin Jenner, for example) always have the comments disabled.

It is almost as though the women are smart enough to know that the dialogue below the article will not be constructive, but a hate filled shitfest so they turn them off, while the people that write these articles (like I posted above) know the first thing is going to be talking poo about Cam's hat and laptops but don't have the foresight to disable the comments. 

Life would be so much better without the comments section, it should be saved for Facebook and message boards.

This and other reasons are why the NFL isn't really enjoyable to watch anymore for me. Even if the Panthers record were better and hadn't poo the bed in some games and won it would still be the same bs. How can you enjoy seeing the same poo done to black QB's decade after decade. Seriously prejudice is starting to rear it's ugly head again. Look back at Daunte Culpepper same type of QB not as fast, same result got destroyed any chance the D could get away with it. I'm sorry to pull the race card but Jesus people how blatant can it be.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
