Cam Newton thoughts

[Jeremy Igo]

Very encouraged by what I saw from Cam yesterday. Mostly short passes, some intermediate, with plenty of zip on the ball. Actually looked a little tighter passes than towards the end of last season.

 

If you think about it, this is the best case scenerio.

Yeah really happy that he was able to come out and do pretty much everything that was asked.

Hopefully he is able to do the same today...will be interested to see how the shoulder responds.

I mean take a look at this beautifully placed deep pass.

Cam's got it.

Agree, Bradberry made a great play on the pick and there are still some timing issues Cam needs to work out with Shepard on those routes. 

I was focusing on Cam after each throw to see if he was favoring his shoulder in any way and I didn't see any of that - he looked totally comfortable. If you didn't know he had shoulder surgery a few months ago you would have no idea based on his practice yesterday.

The one thing I'm worried about is timing with the receivers... and that SHOULD come (hopefully) with repetition in pre-season.

As long as he's able to keep throwing and there are no "soreness" set-backs (knock on bwood).

Yup, soreness and fatigue are the biggest enemies now. Noticed they only had him throwing the ball in 7 on 7 and 11 on 11. All the other drills where he would normally throw the ball he hung onto it. That's the pitch count they appear to have him on, only throwing the ball in live action.

Im not really worried about the new offense with swing passes to our backs, it's essentially what he ran at Auburn. He appears to have taken this offseason much more seriously than last, bringing the MVP back.

[brandon_87]

He's always had zip, his problem is knowing when to take some off, you can't drill a receiver that's 7 yards away with that arm strength he has, it's gonna pop up and be picked every time, but I hope our "evolution " calls for more finesse out of the backfield, I'm excited to see the finished product

Cam looked really good yesterday. Remember one thing, especially admit the Cam pick, everybody knows that Cam won't be throwing deep much. They don't want him to push the shoulder too soon. The defense also knows this

Good point. They're not at all worried about double moves or go routes when Cam is in there.

[Hoenheim]

He also doesn't have multiple defensive lineman and linebackers trying to sack or concuss him 

[the butch]

Maybe taking away some of his god-given physical ability will further help develop the mental aptitude and finer points of passing.  Don't get me wrong, I love the Ed Dickson fire curve ball through 4 defenders, but relying on it gives me indigestion.

I wouldn't mind just sitting in a thread all day and watching @carolina-chuck3 and @Jeremy Igo conversate back and forth.
