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.

It doesn't piss me off anymore.  It's just like yep, same poo different day type of feel.

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.

    • We've never seen them outside of the structure of two very well ran organizations I'll give you that. And yes they are long in the tooth. I do think they are more than capable of getting a franchise turned around in short term capacity though. They are by no means a long term solution.
    • You're not making a good-faith argument by blaming literally everything on the quarterback when the defense gave him a fat 38 seconds to overcome its ineptitude, but it seems you're dead-set on blaming him for any problem the team encounters. In this case, it's not warranted. Sometimes it is. But he had no time to throw (pressured on 46% of all dropbacks, an insane amount) and that's simply not all his fault -- particularly when they rush 4 or less and are in the backfield in 1.5s or less. Should we have gotten more than 0 yards? Sure! But he hit a WR in the hands on fourth down and it was dropped. Not his fault. He missed one throw on second down but I attribute first down to a bad play call and third down to poor pass protection. I would've called some quick slants, personally, but it really seems you're saying: - playcalling: Bryce's fault - poor pass protection: Bryce's fault - defensive choking away a lead: Bryce's fault, not the defense - Horn dropping a pass: Bryce's fault It's a great way to garner support on here, because when it comes to Bryce, logic takes such a backseat to context that it's not even in the same vehicle. Plenty of games can be attributed to him. Can't take anyone seriously who solely blames him for that one. 
    • I don't see how you can logically make that argument when the team beat two of the top teams in the entire league during the regular season.  Now imagine the additional games we would have won against absolute tip top competitors like SF and SEA had we had a professional QB.  You can throw any random stat at the problem you want, but the proof is in the pudding.  We all watched it live.  This roster would have produced 13 wins (wins against SF and SEA, two wins against NO, and would have swept the Bucs) and (almost certainly) a #1 seed with a remotely competent QB.  Those were not games where we needed an all star performance to win.  Those were games where a very, very modest stat line would have netted us an easy win. Nearly every measurable aspect of the team would have been significantly improved with a competent QB.
