Some Cam Love

Cam Newton has been ridiculous in the red zone this season.
Through 7 games, he’s 17/24 (70.8%) with 9 TDs, 0 INTs and a league-best 120.7 passer rating.
That doesn’t include his rushing numbers down there.

Cam was out of his mind against the Ravens on Sunday, as Carolina throttled what is one of the NFL's best defenses, completing 21 of 29 passes for 219 yards and two touchdowns, while rushing for 52 yards and a score on 10 carries. 

Newton is now completing more than 66 percent of his passes on the season, an unheard of number for the former No. 1 overall pick who spent most of his career well below the NFL's version of the Mendoza line, hanging in the 55 percent area for most years. 

His red-zone numbers are eye-popping before you even factor in Cam's ability to run the ball near the goal line. 

I don't think it's out of control to suggest Newton is the greatest rushing quarterback in NFL history, and I don't think it's out of control to suggest he's the greatest red-zone threat in NFL history either. 

What's happened this year is Norv Turner has taken over and made Newton more efficient, while keeping him from taking shots

I bet Cam and this offense only get better every week.  Oh...and what did I read last week....Cam has passed Aaron Rogers for most 4th qtr comebacks?

Yesterday was fun.  Looking forward to many more good times.

i think Cam passed Rodgers for most 4th quarter comebacks since 2011 (cam's rookie season) but not for career as Rodgers has been in the league longer.  this is totally off the top of my head, calling any stats guys to correct me if this is not accurate

either way, he has been a dominate force in the red zone since he's been in the league and now he's satisfying the haters (if that's possible) with his completion %.  he's really coming into his own and it's exciting for us Panthers fans.

I wonder if the writer of that article even understands the contextual difference between those two statistics?  I doubt it.

Probably more like "Look how low it was!  Now look how high it is!  HERP DERP!"

Luckily, Ty Montgomery ran that kick off back and fumbled versus the Rams. There was about a 90% chance Rodgers was going to either get a FG or TD to win the game.

Ty took that out the back of the end zone even after the coaching staff told him to take a knee...ouch

All this considered, you would think more fans would be extremely grateful for having him.

You would think. Just wait until the next off game Cam has. The haters (racists) will come back out in full force saying how he can't read a defense and how he needs to stop celebrating.

    • Yeah not taking that Burns trade was infinitely stupid. We seem to be finally righting the ship but, imo, our biggest issue since Tepper bought the team has been coaches and management having a poor understanding of where our own roster is at. Starting with that idiot Rhule drinking his own kool-aid and thinking he was going to come and take the NFL by storm with Teddy freaking Bridgewater. Could have just kept Cam on the last year of his contract and gone from there but noooo that fat slob had to feel like he was the big man on campus. First round wizard Marty Hurney who, for whatever his faults, has a freaking HOF track record with first round picks, wants to trade up for Hebert but fat fug Rhule says no. Then we kept Rhule for 3 years which is absolutely unbelievable to me and every single year he treated our roster like it was just one player away trading our draft picks for Sam Darnold and Baker Mayfield who have proven since leaving that Matt Rhule was an even bigger idiot of a coach than we thought. We finally seem to understand we are a ways off and trade CMC, but then we don’t take the actual good trade for Brian Burns who was never better than a run of the mill situational pass rusher. Then we botch the self scout of our OL (and team) after Wilks, even though they were bad before Wilks simplified the scheme, thinking they can execute whatever the hell Reich and Brown were trying to do. So we win a couple meaningless games playing dummy ball and Fitterer thinks we’re a player away again. And nobody even considers that having the slowest receiving corps imaginable with Damiere freaking Byrd, who can’t even make it to the season before being injured and cut, as your only hope for speed, coupled with the worst pass blocking OL I’ve ever seen, might lead to titanic levels of disaster. The way Canales and Morgan have been adamant about constantly bringing competition at every position has been refreshing and made a huge difference. I was kind of worried that we had fallen into our old ways leading up to the draft with all the talk of defense only and worried that they might feel the offense was set. Very glad to see they were not complacent on that. My big thing now is I’m still wondering why Evero is still here. I can’t think of a single player who has gotten better under him, and the Broncos defense got better once he left. We’ll see.
    • really good interview that gives some insight into their decision making process in making up the schedules and the issues they run into with so many people broadcasting games now. also some interesting discussion on what they have going on and where they might be heading in the international games. vikings have 2 of them, btw. we might be seeing more of that.     
    • wow i absolutely LOVED watching that.   will watch again...and again...and again.
