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

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.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By fanpanther · Posted

      the one thing this post has suprised me with is how much support there still is for young.  i dont understand why.  we had qbs before him that went to superbowls that lost support way quicker.  thr only qb we had had that started any number of games that played worse than young is clausen.  allen and moore played better and yet people still support him makes 0 sense to me

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      Again, can’t have a serious discussion if constantly wading through hyperbole. And you say that’s not really what was meant, but I tried to at one point get some folks to concede that he was physically capable of throwing a football 20yds just so we could get to a real discussion and they stuck with it. So I’m not sure your characterization is entirely accurate.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      And this is his third year. As far as people not understanding things, I am not sure people accept how difficult it is to remake yourself from the ground up. Which he absolutely has to do to compete successfully at the NFL level.  He takes a step forward with the footwork and a step back when he is stressed and reverts to what always worked for him before. I will say it yet again, anyone that reached a level of success with their self taught technique but needed to rebuild to break through the limitations that imposed, will understand this. I don’t care what specific activity it is the same challenge. Muscle memory and comfort level fight against the new moves you are trying to train yourself to do without thinking.  He is there. There is a ceiling with his technique that is too low for the NFL. He has to retrain himself.  We are in the third year and I guess we are supposed believe that he will be so good  when he finally gets to where the new will be second nature, that we have to wait (how many more years) for him to finish doing it. If he ever finishes.  The sad fact is he will not succeed at the NFL level with his horrible college footwork and compensation moves like the tippy toe drop backs. He just won’t.  If he can’t put that on the table for us, we would be foolish to not seek an alternative plan.
