Confirmed: Opponents knew Newton couldn't throw deep

[Peppers90 NC]

The Stains just had an exhibition game against a pee-wee team and now about to play the Steelers who can throw the ball all over the place. I see them giving up 30

[coralreefer_1]

what difference does it make? Have we had a deep threat that can actually catch since Ginn?

[mc52beast]

It ain’t freaking rocket science... the team is probably close to last in pass plays over 20 yards.

Unfortunately, Cam needs to sit until he can be a deep threat.   This has been a problem for 2 years now.

You do realize that on all of these plays, Cam had the option of giving the ball to someone else. He injured himself more than anything.

Should not have been playing period. It' not rocket science just common sense. Something that Ron seems to lack. Whether Cam wants to at or not it is Ron' decision and he should have sat Cam. All this I defer to the medical staff crap is a bunch of bull another way to defer responsibility for poor judgement as a coach. Everyone could see that he was hurt and him playing probably made things worse or delayed true progress.

Norv Turner: “Cam has done everything he can to stay on the field. He was playing at such a high level. Arm strength just wasn’t there. Throws he was comfortable making he was now struggling to make.”

What makes you think he will EVER  be a deep threat again? He already had one surgery before 2017 and it didn’t help so either rest or another surgery suddenly makes him a good deep thrower? I think what your seeing now is unfortunately what he will continue to be.

Go back to week 5 and try saying that Cam can't throw the long ball, that something isn't right with him.

Folks came out of the woodwork to scream racism.

 

Yep. I think it’s pretty funny seeing those same racism crusaders finally acknowledging the shoulder is shot. 

It was clear as day early in the year, defenses just weren’t aware. When Ron took Cam out at the end of the half against the Giants, he put it out there. 

Defenses adjusted after they saw the Pittsburgh game and we never recovered.

Everyone knew when we put in the backup for a hail mary.   I mean we knew, and people had suspicions, but that was confirmation and they could take chances and gameplan like that.    We shouldn't have did that.    Bad coaching.

my 7 year old has known that.   I mean highly paid opponents could of asked him.   I could of been rich!

especially that first time when it ended up being a check down to Olsen.  

But the entire NFL knew then.  Then Ron confirmed it over and over.  would have been better never doing that.  Just not taken the shots.  Overall could of helped more because it altered the defensive coverage in every game.

It's time to trade Cam off for a 2nd round pick 

I was waiting to see this finally being said.  Agree.

Yeah, like you know anything.

Go away.  You're annoying.
