Cam Newton is as Inaccurate as Steph Curry

this article is from a year ago. But with all the rampant discussion about Cam’s accuracy I feel it is very fitting to bring up. Cam goes for the big play with his big arm and is very successful, one of the most accurate QB’s in the league.

 

The only reason he has low completion percentage is because he lacks underneath threats to inflate his number like other QB’s his whole career save last year and he was injured most of last year.

ANYWAYS read the article for more information.

Panthers have done a terrible job of surrounding Cam with talent. Put Rodgers or Brady on this team with the f’d up o-lines and below average receivers and they get killed

This is precisely why I'm so excited for the upcoming season.  For the first time in half a decade, we have a new OC......an OC that will actually make necessary in game adjustments and get the ball out of Cam's hands faster overall.  I'd be surprised if his completion % doesn't go up.

anyone saying cam is inaccurate never watched his 2010 season at auburn

You know what else attributes? Drops. We have to have the most drops in the league in the last 8 years.

Tell me before anyone knew anything about Amendola or Julian Edelman, or any of the guys Brady has played with at their respective positions. Who were they? Where did they come from? And were they superstar talent before? 

I just think the whole Brady in our offense argument is weak. Brady gets the ball out fast, so a terrible o line don't matter to him. It's a 3 step drop and go usually, plus Brady knows when to take what the defense is giving him idc if it's Joe blow the fat FB,  hell he will still throw a pass to him. 

My whole thing with Cam is he does go for the big play often when there is something simple underneath instead. Sometimes he tends to outright rifle a 7 yard slant into a receivers chest leading to a Brett Favre like interception. Cam tends to hang onto the ball for a bit too long although to be fair sometimes it was Shula's fault for longer routes. I've watched games and I hate to be the "armchair" QB but there's someone running in the flats open and he throws it 80 yards down the field. Now I know you can't see everyone on every play but you have to just know your guy is there and get it to him for the easy completion sometimes and let him make a play.

It'd help if he had some finesse instead of drilling people that are 10 yards or less away from him, the majority of balls dropped that weren't drilled in there were from Ginn. Hopefully this year is better with a Norv approach, I feel like it will be

Can you get a source for that? I could believe it but there are other teams who have had a lot of drops and while I’m damn sure we’re in the top 5-10, not so sure about most.

[RumHam]

Even if it's top 5-10, it seems like we've blown a lot of opportunities with drops. Ginn dropped like 50% of his deep balls when he was here. Benjamin had plenty.

 points to ponder:

1-shula factor (you already see this one)

2-the reads in an air coryell offense

a lot of the complaints about cam weren't made during his first two seasons.
