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

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.

There is and has been for many years a strong correlation between sacking the QB on a given drive, and holding the opposing team scoreless on the drive. That's why pass rushers are so well paid.

So yeah, the article was doing nothing more than stating the obvious.

Well, perhaps Newton was simply suggesting that Cam should become more adept at getting rid of the football.

Cam ranks 21st out of 28 players in Sack Percentage among active qualifiers. He takes sacks on 6.98% of his passing attempts, one of the worst career rates in football. 

Interestingly, nearly the entire Top 10 of least sacked QB's is composed of strictly pocket-passers, guys that can barely run. 

One of the exceptions is the least sacked active Quarterback by percentage: Drew Brees at 3.88%

I somewhat understand this article. Whenever Cam gets sacked say 5 times or more the chances of us winning are slim. It deflated us as a team. Look at the bears game. When they went up 14-0 we had nothing left. Some teams are better at coming back and shaking off their QB taking early hits than we are

    • 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.
