Stop defending Cam

I’m the biggest Cam nut hugger out there.  Hell I’ve lost friends over it.  I’ve argued with family to the point that it’s screwed with our relationships. 

But at this point I’ve realized that Cam is not a winning QB.  He doesn’t have the X factor.  Healthy or not, Cam has not had what it takes to come though in the clutch.  This pains  to say as I’ve defended him endlessly for years.  But it’s time to move on.

Cam is hurt and needs to sit at this point...

Cams issues are due to bad throws, not bad reads or decisions...

He is a major reason we lost tonight, maybe the biggest... but it's not bc he "sucks," he just cant make the throws

Cam deserves defending. 

Is he 100%? I think that’s an obvious and emphatic no. 

But trying to smear him at this point seems petty and less than genuine. He has had many, many, clutch performances for this franchise. 

Seems like a lot of people continue to focus on the times he comes up short for the sake of confirmation bias instead of taking a truly unbiased lens to it. 

Cam Newton is not without fault. But he has put a franchise that has been consistent only in its mediocrity in a position to succeed more than he has hindered it. That is 100% fact.

People forget all the times he turned garbage o line and receiver play into a first down time and time again and focus on one pay that was maybe missed. 

Again, I’m up for discussion, but the Cam bashing tonight and through this season is outright embarrassing in my opinion.

When Delhomme fell off the edge of the map nobody was afraid to admit it nor were there many people here defending the indefensible play he gave us.  Why is is so difficult to see that Cam may be done and it may be time to move on ?

Cam has more game winning drives than Rodgers. But he doesn’t have the X factor, right? Without Cam the 15-1 season is 3-13 and we Ron gets fired after year 2 while Cam wins Super Bowls with a team the builds around him and has fans that actually like him. This fan base is fuging pathetic.

Because he is a clearly injured, former MVP who is 29 years of age. They don’t grow on trees.

      Some Tet appreciation

      He has a lot to work on for sure but he has been a huge boost to the offense. It's nice to finally have an elite WR.

      Where do you fall on the Bryce Young spectrum?

      By strato · Posted

      We have been on that roller coaster ride already. He needs to have streaks far longer than a couple of good games.  People raved about the Green Bay game in 2023. Which was mostly a good 2nd half and hot 4th quarter.  Ask me what happened the next four games, if you don’t remember. or just go look them up. There isn’t much to see.  The end of last year had some good things and one excellent outing, and look up what followed that, which you won’t have to but he came out this year looking like week 1 2023.  Now he is on a game and a half streak, against a bad Miami team and lowest rated defense in the league - at home.  This is the reality in the big picture. He needs to break his pattern, in a positive way.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By fieryprophet · Posted

      This "noodle arm" characterization just baffles me. There's way more involved in a successful downfield passing attack than simple air yards. Let's take two stat-lines for throws of 40+ air yards (no YAC) from the last 3 seasons: 5/29 (17%) for 3 TDs and 2 INTs 1/9 (11%) for 1 TD So with three times the number of attempts, you net +6% completion percentage, the same TD rate, and 2 arm punt INTs to boot. The first player is Mahomes, the second is Bryce. Clearly Bryce attempts these throws at a much lower rate, but his success rate is quite similar to one of the most talented downfield throwers of all time. The takeaway isn't that Bryce is Mahomes-lite (if he was his usage rate for these would be much higher) but that these throws by their very nature are extremely difficult, very scheme-specific, and even an elite thrower can have wildly differing success rates season by season. And before we get into the complaints of cherry-picking, this is far more substantial information than the various insinuations that Bryce struggles to even get the ball 20 yards downfield, much less 40+. And the wildest part of this is that every time Mahomes threw a bomb over the last 3 season, 83% of the time the end result was failure, yet many Chiefs fans complain that he isn't taking even more shots downfield.
