Cam Newton thoughts

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.

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.

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.

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.

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
