Cam has no arm strength and our Window is almost shut

[NAS]

We are close to the end on the window we had for a SB or even multiple SBs with Cam Newton as our franchise QB.  The window began to close rapidly in the 2016 season when Rivera failed to protect Cam and ruined one of the strongest arms the NFL has ever seen. Now we have Cam who is more comfortable in Norv’s system but no longer has the arm to overcome poor footwork or mechanics. He still does not step into his throws, and yes it’ partly due to the offensive line, and partly because it’s just not his style. His arm is now average strength, at best, and that’s being generous since he hasn’t completed a pass longer than 40 yds in 12 games.  

I am not a cam hater, it breaks my heart to see him regress due to injury, not even 10 years into his career.  But we should get rid of Rivera first and hope he can at least extend his career long enough and help groom his eventual replacement.  There will never be another Cam Newton, and sadly this Cam ino longer has the same physical attributes. It is truly sad to see him throw medium and long passes without his signature  spiral and zip.

Yes I have seen the numbers, they looked good, but you cannot deny they don’t tell the whole story.  It doesn’t pass the eye test.  Peyton manning put up amaZing stats with broncos in 2013-2014, in a similar offense, only to become a meme in 2015.  When teams figure out Cam can’t beat them deep, they will choke us out.

The same thread posted for the tenth time today. I think everyone needs to relax and wait for the coaching drama to finish before they start looking at our mvp quarterback

Yeah, um, the Chargers thought Drew Brees was washed up. How did that turn out?

LOL no they didn't and how could Brees be washed up right at the end of his rookie deal.

His contract ran out and they offered him a deal and he took the job in NO who guaranteed him a starting position. No one, not even the Saints offered him starting QB money because of his shoulder injury. Dolphins, Chargers, Saints offered him a contract...

People act like fugin google isn't a thing and like to speak on poo they are literally clueless about. How TF did anyone think Brees was 'washed up' after his first contract lol.

This here will tell the Cam story.  How many games has the offense scored 28+ points since Cam showed up.  If you can't score 28 you are not going to beat many good teams. Defense gets tired last half of the season the offense has to step up.  You can take 8 min off the clock and kick a 3 pointer and a good team turns back around scores 7 in half the time who wins?

No, due to shoulder injury. They doubted he would come back from it and rolled with Rivers instead.

Yeah, what the fug u talking bout? I speak on things I know.
