Cam has no arm strength and our Window is almost shut


NAS

Recommended Posts

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 

This one combined two things posted all day long . This is Rainman territory

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?

Guess what, they have. He needs to sit and see how next year goes

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.

    • Yeah lol well the interest isn’t really about seeking stimulation.  I wanted to see how actually bad it was.  And how much of it was women setting him up to be their cash cow.  That is the stuff that leveraged the Panthers into David Tepper’s hands. It is important in that sense.     The worst that I have heard is that he got them in the car and clumsily reached across to help them with their seat belt and made contact. With his arm. That was probably his big slick move. And I can almost guarantee he wasn’t rejected every time. It is easy to picture that action bringing his head close enough to the woman’s head to where he could go in for the kiss if he thought he got the green light.    I really don’t care if JR was a horn dog. We heard all our lives up until the last few years that one of the perks of being really old is that you can flirt with the young women and it is not just tolerated but expected. So he was keeping a tradition alive at some point 😂
    • Well I rubbed some dirt on it and am still here just not optimistic about the future of the QB position. Even what I had accepted as a ceiling raised to an acceptable level turned out to be a bit of a mirage, upon rewatch of the WC game.  Good plays were there yes, but some pretty bad ones too that the good ones late in the game kind of obscured. I have to downgrade that a little.  Especially after rewatching the last 4 plays. I remember the arguments about he did his job the WRs didn’t but that was really just that last muff by Coker I think it was on our final offensive play.   To the future: I know what my level is for paying him and recommitting, but I don’t have any confidence that the team shares my high bar.    But thanks for the pep talk
