Stop defending Cam


Smithers

Recommended Posts

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.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
