is something physically wrong with cam newton?

it seems now more than ever, he's underthrowing his receivers.

while this isn't a blatant example, there's been too many examples of the receivers having to turn or stop to catch what should be deep balls. 

"too many examples" lol you mean 2 gifs from training camp.

I don't think anything is wrong with his deep ball. I do think there are a lot of moving parts here. Most notably the fact that they are wearing shoulder pads now, and that's definitely different than throwing with pads off. Secondly, that throw was what I consider to be a high point ball. Allow the receiver to grab it at its highest point. I don't think Cam meant to do that, but him also throwing to Benjamin, Funchess, and Olsen so long; mixed with the fact his receivers are a lot faster, mixed with field conditions could create the perfect storm for that to happen. :) Good day

Curtis looked small last year also, similar to CMC. Hopefully he can take the hits over the middle now and occasionally get schemed open deep similar to how Taylor Gabriel was used with Kyle Shannahan .

He has all the playmaking ability and speed to be a yac monster that Cam sorely needs, but he needs to live up to his potential first.

Jeez last year he practiced with Funchess and Benjamin mostly,.... Samuel was CMac light,... and Byrd was an unknown commodity.

now Samuel looks like a deep guy and there’s Torrey,.. everyone is much faster....

so yeh he held back for years after Steve Smith left except a few times with Ginn.

hes just getting used to using that big arm again.

I'm sure he's not trying to throw his arm out in camp

So you going to blatantly ignore the deep TD passes? Especially the ones to Smith?

    • Totally.  They had a guy starred on their boards that made it in trade worthy range. The risk was totally worth it.  Our case was the classic of a franchise not having a QB, do what you can to get one.  That often results being thrust into a bad situation, putting crazy pressure on 1 guy, and it becomes even worse when he's not that great.  But if we find ourselves just a few spots behind a guy we really like, I don't see a problem.   We just have to see how the season shakes out and enjoy this roller coaster.  It's not pretty at times but we somehow are 5-4 haha. If Bryce turns a page and cranks out some truly QB driven wins, then maybe we do consider just rolling with him and a Dalton replacement in 2026.  Someone like a Jarrett Stidham/Tanner McKee.   However, if he stays mostly the same (whether we fall apart or he struggles on/off but we still win some), I think you have to leave to door open for a QB in the draft.  Scout and meet with the top ones, see if any really fit what D&D want.  Maybe that guy could be Mateer.  Who knows
    • I lived in that area for a minute, and 2 decades of BB and Brady made them delusional.  They think everyone is the 2nd coming of Brady and they're just on a short coffee break til the next dynasty.
    • Bryce Young hasn't cleared 200 passing yards in a single game in that window.  Meanwhile, Rico Dowdle has put together the greatest 5 game stretch of rushing production in Panthers history.   And RBs have sort of been our thing, so there is ample competition.  This team hasn't been lead by Bryce Young in that stretch. Those wins are simplistically 3 things.  Schedule, Rico, and defense.
