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.

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

      By kungfoodude · Posted

      He has rarely been aggressive enough to be considered a gunslinger type player. The guy he is describing is Pat Mahomes-esque and I doubt any of us see that in Bryce.  When the play is breaking down or he bails on the play, how often are we really seeing him laser it into a tight window? How about scramble long enough to get someone breaking free and then hitting them? I remember that far less, although I am not sitting down to look at all 2.5 years of data, than I am checkdowns, throw aways, off target passes, scrambles, etc.

      Some Tet appreciation

      Wow this is some crazy nonsense. First, he doesn't have problems picking up the ball on quick slants or screens, go back and watch the replays, you can clearly see him start to turn his head on those drops before the ball is in his hands, it's a concentration issue, not an issue of picking up the ball. Yes, it's 100% something he has to improve upon and it's still a knock on him, but you're making up a problem that isn't there, when the real problem that is there is a very correctable one and also one that is rather common for a player 6 games into his career and trying to do too much. After that, I genuinely don't understand what your point is in bringing up where he ranks in YPC, as if that's some indicator of his abilities.  Which, to begin with, he's not 31st, he's 26th (and that's before even factoring in the players above him with just a handful of catches, like Horn Jr with his 4 catches).  Then below him in that YPC ranks are guys like Chase, CeeDee, London, Tyreek, Waddle, Higgins, BTJ, Wilson etc, so I'm not sure what pointing out his ranking has anything to do with what kind of player he is or might become.  All of that before even looking how close he is to being much higher on the list because they're all so close together, he's 27 yards across 6 games shy from being in the Top 15. If you want to pick and choose stats, why not look at things like being 3rd in the NFL in catches of 20+ yards or 6th in the NFL in 1st down catches? And finally, no, just no.  He doesn't look far less pro ready than Egbuka, he's just in a significantly worse situation if you're just looking for a big statistical output.  Egbuka is playing with the current front runner for MVP, in a pass happy offense, where all their other pass catchers keep getting hurt, so of course he's going to be putting up big stats.  Swap those players and T-Mac might be leading the NFL in yards right now, not to mention would have just as many TD's as Egbuka does as well.

      Drafting X is like the poster board for mistakes. Hopefully, lesson learned.

      How about if you don't like my choice of content, then don't click on the thread? We're discussing the NFL, not Pee-wee football. Until we start having "great" games on a continuous basis, I'm going to continue to talk all facets of the team. Moreover, I haven't seen X have a "great" game yet. Just like I supported patience last season, I have become critical this season. If it hurts your feelings, it just hurts your feelings. I've been on this board longer than most of you, and I've been a fan of the Panthers since before they stepped on the field, so don't tell me how to fan.
