David Newton: When Cam Newton takes fewer sacks, Carolina wins

There's a direct correlation between Newton's effectiveness as a runner and the number of sacks he takes. The past three games are a microcosm of that. Newton has rushed 25 times for 225 yards and a touchdown in those games. In the first three games he rushed 13 times for 46 yards as he rehabbed his surgically repaired shoulder. He was sacked 10 times, including six times in one game during that opening stretch.

Running well does not always equal success. Newton was sacked five times in a loss to Chicago in which he rushed for 50 yards. But he was playing catchup after the Bears turned a fumble and interception into touchdowns.

In general, when Newton runs well he takes fewer sacks, and that turns into wins.

The Panthers are 25-6-1 since 2011 in games when Newton takes one or fewer sacks -- including a game last season when the 2015 NFL MVP was benched for one play at Seattle -- according to ESPN Stats & Information research.

They are 26-23 when Newton takes two to three sacks and 7-14 when he takes four or more sacks.

It's this type of insight of insight that really makes this forum great...

Title aside, as a math/stats professional, this article is pretty interesting. It delves into the numbers and the reasons why Cam's running impacts his sacks and how it changes the teams winning percentage.

The longer I live in life, the more I realize that the people (like the poster above) who try to claim everything is so obvious "yeah, duh...." just don't have the ability to think past 2+2.

Sorry that the article was above your head, man. Maybe try reading these types of things a couple more times before posting next time.

Speaking of heads, maybe instead of trying to make someone else look like an ass, perhaps you should get your head out of your own.

He’s John Madden with words.

Sacks are bad.  You don’t want sacks.  If your QB is getting sacked he’s not getting yards.  It gets the offense off schedule and usually impacts scoring.

None of this is revolutionary, new, or even informative.

Its lazy and uninspired.  Did anyone learn something they didn’t already know?

If you like numbers great, but tell me how KBs absence seemingly unlocked the door?  How has the Oline magically turned into a solid unit?  Why are we suddenly at the line with 15 or more seconds on the playclock?

Tons of angles for a story this week and this putz goes with- “When Cam isn’t sacked, he plays good”

Wut. tha. fug.

    • These are the three deep throw attempts that Will Levis made in week 12. His first one is a beauty; Levis and Westbrook-Ikhine gets the safety to bite on a deep dig only to go over the top for the score. His second throw is another beauty: a crosser to Calvin Ridley reminiscent of Bryce to XL (though Ridley has noticeably more separation on his route). His third and final deep shot was an incompletion from his own endzone on 3rd & 14 with pressure coming down on him (to me, this seems like a solid throw).   Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-02.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro.mp4 Film Room Playlist NFL Pro-01.mp4 Levis took half of the deep shots that Young did. The differences are: Ridley had much better separation than XL, which is why his deep crosser turned into a 63yd play since he was able to scamper for another 15+ after the catch. Westbrook-Ikhine holds on to his TD pass. Bryce had to throw one away to preserve time for a field goal. Bryce had two more throws that were incomplete due to the WR Are we really holding the three WR errors and clock management decision against Bryce in order to say that Will was better throwing deep in week 12? That's not passing the eye test nor is it confirmed by the data.
    • If you go on the PUP list before the season starts, you are gone for the year. If you start the year on the PUP list then you can get off of it. Kind of semantics, but we are putting him on the PUP list now which is before week 1, that’s why people who come off of it aren’t really on the PUP list until week 1, hence you usually hear right before the season that they are “starting the year” on the PUP list. I think PUP list and IR may basically be the serve the same purpose now because you also sometimes hear that if a player is added to the IR before week 1 that they aren’t eligible to come off the IR list for the entire year. Now, everyone added to IR (post week 1) can come off after 4 (or more) games so the PUP list is meaningless since it’s 6 games and starts at week 1. Anyone added to PUP or IR in the preseason is gone for the year.
    • I saw Brooks maybe a few weeks ago, he was walking pretty normally. of course he wasnt running, jumping and cutting.
