First Things First Cam Newton Discussion


Hoenheim

Recommended Posts

Basically Nick sides with Cam and Chris says that he'd take the other 3 QBs in our division before Cam. Chris calls Cam elite but everything else he says is negative. Seems convinced that Cam will never have good accuracy and the tired old "cant play from the neck up" comment. Have any thoughts on this? Thought I'd make a post that's not about last game or the coming game specifically. The best point Nick made was that comparing Matt Ryan and Cam's career, Cam has accomplished alot more, alot faster that Matt Ryan with much less talent on his team. One of the most salient quotes of the discussion was imagine if Cam had Julio Jones instead of Kelvin Benjamin for last few years? Hell, I'd go even further and say imagine if Cam had both Julio Jones and Kyle Shannahan instead of KB and Shula

So 6th year, Playoffs 3 years, SB 1 year.  Not sure anybody remember who the OC was those years.  I cant remember and my memory is poo.  So 50% playoff appearances with Shula as his OC.  And I know in spite of Shula not because of Shula.  We play good Cam is god we play bad its Shula fault.   I wonder if most people think if Matt Ryan has a poor game do they blame everyone but Matt Ryan?  I know, I know Cam doesn't have poor games just poor play calls. Cant wait until we win a game this year.

give it a rest

2015 - KS is a fugging disease, and Matt has regressed.

2016 - KS is a fugging God, and Matt has no equal.

Honestly we were more defensive about Vick. It was everyone else's fault until it wasn't. We are pretty level headed about Matt. With a good supporting cast he's gonna be good. With a great supporting cast he's gonna be great.

Nobody says that Cam does not have poor games..What we do say is in defense of our QB since he is blamed and treated poorly since he came to the NFL...Out of all number 1 draft picks he has been the most criticized in spite of the success he has had on a team with the least talent on the offensive side of the ball..starting from the coach all the way down to SP teams. I see flaws in his games at times but choose not to to rag on him bc for one he is not perfect he does more good than bad..For 2 he has enough people casting spotlight on every little posible flaw he might have ..Last week he missed 2 opportunities and yes they were easy opportunities but we did not loose he did just enough for us to squeak by. The guy is just coming off shoulder surgery and literally is 3rd game for him without preseason...Cam usually starts slow anyway..takesmore games to get him in synch...The defense is doing there job while Cam gets in synch. Hopefully Cam can return the favor later in the season for when it truly will count. As for Shula and Rivera what is their excuse for their continuous screw ups which should not be happening to a coach..At least Cam has fatigue and pain to use for an excuse.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
