Collapse of the running game has exposed Cam's weaknesses as a passer

Didn't Stew basically rush for 1,000 yards last year?

Cam looked like a complete QB in all respects last year.

He hasn't looked the same this season. For various reasons. 

But the ultimate truth of the matter is this franchise had a roster fit to make another Super Bowl run, and we didn't go all in. Ranting about Newton isn't going to change that fact.

Cam still struggled with short to mid range passing last season. Just no one cared because he was throwing bombs all game. 

The team appeared to have a roster ready to make another run, but I'm not sure why you still think that looking back at how the season has turned out. The edge rush still doesn't develop, the safety play is still abysmal, the tackle play is still lackluster, teams still tee off on Cam and take away that element of the game, KB is still a gaping hole on offense, etc.

It's comforting to think the Panthers were on the cusp of a dynasty. Even I thought we were poised to run the NFC South for the forseeable future. Turns out the Panthers just kinda caught lightning in a bottle last year.

The short passes have always been iffy.

Even with all the factors in play, we still could have at least 3-4 more wins right now if we closed out those close games.

All I'm saying is, reducing this to a Cam Newton discussion, or a Dave Gettleman discussion, or a Ron Rivera discussion, or whoever you want to blame, is pointless. Ultimately it's been a collective hatchet job this year. The cold hard truth is this franchise hasn't had back to back winning seasons yet. As much as things have changed they've stayed the same. Sooner or later something has to give.

But ranting about random stuff like nickelodeon shows really looks petty, and erodes away at the legitimacy of your discussion.
