Cam Newton predictions for tonight...


Jeremy Igo

I just hope he doesn't hold on to the ball too long; if he goes down hard on that shoulder, I might get pissed.

Cam's done that his entire career, so... It's going to be interesting to see if he can actually transition to more quick hitting short throws. We've seen him occasionally hit Benji over the middle with fast throws before.

Jax D is going to sit on the short routes, just like our D did in the first TC practice. And, I doubt we throw much deep, so I would not expect the O to look great with Cam in the game. For the regular season, the regulator comes off.

Do you think he will still be on a pitch count, Jeremy?  Like, he won't stay in with all of the other starters through the 3rd?  I really hope they give him extended time and don't limit him too much.

He's not playing nearly that long I don't think. He might play a series or 2, but that's it.

All I want to see is him attempt a pass to CMC, a deep pass, and I'd like to see him lead a scoring drive. The last one might be a lofty goal at this point, but I think even with the time off, he'll be able to step right in a game situation and look decent.

I predict Cam will look like he always does in the preseason.  Kinda bad. He will be practicing being a one dimensional pocket passer with vanilla calls.   He has never looked good doing that.....and now he will be rusty going into it.  So I don't expect the first strong O to move the ball that well and it won't be a big deal.

Having been a Carolina Panther fan since 1995....

I'm expecting Cam to be excited and inaccurate. He's not 100% and I dont think he'll be as aggressive as normal. 

I expect we'll overreact.... but he'll proceed to have a rebound year.

    • I’m keeping an eye on what the Hawks do with Boye Mafe. There’s a few young talented players that needs to be retained and one of their defensive starters might not fit within the budget. My guess is probably Riq Woolen is voted off the island but Mafe could be potentially too. His stats aren’t eye popping, but in McDonald’s defense, his role is to leverage for the DL to clean up. Mafe’s QB pressure rate is top notch and in a different scheme, he could clean up.    Just something to watch this weekend when SEA is in town.
    • 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
