Cam Newton Poll

Never said he wasn't. Not once. 

Have always said it is a possibility, just like I did in 2014. Oddly enough, it was met with the same amount of disbelief here. 

Like I said, you have way more access and see more than I do.  Lately it's seems like your opinion is leading more toward he isn't going to start since you keep bringing it up ie threads/polls.  You may even know something you are not at liberty to discuss openly.   Not accusing you of being wrong.  I am not saying there isn't a possibility he won't start.  Just seems like you are pushing the Cam isn't going to be ready week 1 vibe.

I started a thread very early this year about the possibility of Cam's recuperation going into the season, so I wouldn't be surprised if he sits.

Being that he's throwing 20 yard routes now, I'd guess that he'll be playing.

The problem with these types of polls is that it's purely a guess, so with many on the "yes" side, it's simply a means to buttress their wishful thinking.

And the no answers are influenced by the obvious pessimists. It goes both ways.

 

My yes is based on what the coaches have said and the thoughts shared by those who are covering the team.

I hear you, but what would really be gained from being pessimistic? Really nothing, unless someone just wants to pile on Cam Newton (I guess you may have a few of those here). 

I just see all the this-player-will-be-fine-regardless-or-simply-because-I-said-so comments regarding these health issues, when you really don't have the answer, as useless.

We can hope for the best and prepare for the worst, but accept reality when it happens and deal in reality if necessary.

    • Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.
    • I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive
    • It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
