What's so hard about him being a multifaceted talent? He's had success being Cam. We don't need to reinvent the wheel in Carolina. Coaching just has to get him plays that best utilize his skill set, his weapons skill sets, spread the ball, and get that footwork down pat. He may not be a laser when it comes to accuracy but who is when your not getting chunk plays with your RBs/WRs on short routes ala Bradford/TB/etc.? Cam will be alright.

Cam's footwork is to far gone to fix at this point, Aaron Rodgers footwork is just as bad as Cam's so I'm not that worried about that. Also short throw accuracy isn't that easy to coach, especially with Cam's arm.

Guys like Favre and Marino had rifles similar to Cam, they were still throwing deep onto their last seasons.

I'm just saying, it's not like he can't, it's just not the type of offense Carolina runs. These taking heads should know that if they've watched ANY tape whatsoever instead of looking at stats alone. You know, the easier, lazier way of reporting lol!

What they don't understand is that Cam playing more like Brady and Brees isn't the best Cam Newton on the field. 

Cam is 6'5. To piggy back off previous comments, yes is absolutely like Brett Favre. I think Cam has so much confidence in his own size, arm and running ability; that he believes he can sling the ball on 3rd and 14 for a first down every time. More often than not he does. I just think he sees the field as his bitch and that he can make the right play at any moment. 

A candyass like Brees has to have the set up plays and dink and dunks because he's not Cam Newton. 

If the offense can evolve a little more and now that we have some legit weapons with speed and shiftiness we should be just fine.

There is not a team in the NFL that converts on 3rd down more often than not and the Panthers were terrible last year on 3rd down conversions. Hate to say it but when it comes to 3rd down conversions, Brees is the best.

Touche. But all the same I think the point is to make Cam the best version of himself rather than adapt qualities of other QBs and offenses because they don't have his talents. He usually does make all the throws to win a game. Sure he can make some adjustments. But the offense itself needs to become less high stakes. I think CMC and Samuel will be a huge step toward that

      Interesting: Former CAR RB Mike Davis Harshly Criticizes McCaffrey, Calls Him "Selfish as Poo"

      By CRA · Posted

      Mike Davis is like yeah, why would these coaches expect me to watch film on our next opponent if I'm playing good.  Yeah, I really don't pay attention to a lot of stuff around me if I'm doing good.   also Mike Davis, how dare they give all the reps to CMC.  from just listening to that interview, I think Mike Davis likely was often in Mike Davis' way and he can't comprehend that aspect.  Even his story of why he hated people.....was weird.  He hated Steve Spurrier because Spurrier was like hey Mike, Marcus Lattimore left...and we need you to step up into that role/void and be more for us.   And Mike Davis was like, can you believe that motha trucka!! Nah Steve.  Just give me the ball and leave me alone (paraphrasing it all obviously but that was the gist).

      Unless he's 1,000%, just sit him an extra week at this point to let him get his legs back under him. I want to see him out there as much as the next guy, but this was a serious thing and I'd rather wait an extra week than put him out one day too early and risk something going wrong, play the long game for once.

      God, these posts are really starting to piss me off If we're relying on Moore, Idzik, and Canales to carry that weight, then we're royally screwing over our young WR room.  It's not that those guys can't help with some of it, but these young promising WRs are going to miss out on a lot of learning that can only be provided by the vets on the team.   You do realize that coaches spend ZERO time in the locker room, right?   They are only in there just before games and at halftime, but the rest of the week, they have their own locker room, they only spend time with the players on the field and in the film room.  There is soooooo much time that you're leaving unaccounted for where players are working together to get better. Players are constantly talking about their game and how they can improve while they're in the locker room.  If you think career long special teamer David Moore is going to be able to carry that water in the locker room, then you're sorely and woefully mistaken. Even beyond that, if a coach pulls a player aside to give advice between series, that still means there are 4-5 other WRs who aren't getting individual advice, where that's normally a time a vet like Thielen is going over with them what he's seeing out there and how they can do X, Y, or Z to do A, B, or C better on the next drive.
