Video: Understanding Cam Newton

3:42 are you crazy

Highly inaccurate? The ball was dead on Funchess hands, he just can't catch. You think a prime Steve Smith would have dropped that? poo DJ wouldn't even dropped that. Yeah he had to fall to get but it aint all the QB job to do everything. They need help too. This is why people say we have no receivers. Funchess another Gettleman fail here.

There isn't a whole lot to argue with PFF about in this video. Much of this we've covered quite extensively, particularly footwork. Besides the fact that Funchess has a laundry list of crucial drops. Even when Cam would put it right on the money for Devin, it was still a 50/50 ball most times.

But in terms of simply assessing the status of Newton's game currently, making declarations while only looking back on 1 out of 16 games, which we lost, that to me doesn't seem like a very good way to go about evaluating. You could make even the best QB's look like poo under that scenario.

There’s a lot about his game that’s hard to understand. Some of it’s impossible to understand. And that’s fine. It’s OK not to feel the need to micro-quantify everything.

He’s a very dynamic individual, with a rare skill set hampered by occasional deficiencies. He’s a first down machine, extending drives more frequently than just about any player of his era. He’s got a rifle for an arm—when healthy—particularly in short windows. 

Those are all obvious takes, but there’s not a whole lot more to it. It takes 11 on every play to make it go.

    • Yes. It's fluff time anyways but it's getting a bit ridiculous. I don't believe this mix has ever worked for the Panthers before. Break .500 and then start the hype. 
    • While I have a chance to be overly excited I'll take that opportunity. The team will determine what happens with that. It's been a while since we've had much to be excited about, I'd say let's just embrace it and see how it unfolds.
    • Knowns: top 10 o line 2 proven, quality RBs 2 proven, WRs who get open and catch everything. 2 others who show a lot of ‘potential’ A QB who improved greatly in the last few games of the season, topped off by putting up a 40 burger win in OT in this franchise’s kryptonite house. What will transpire this season is yet to be seen.  defense has far less proven. 2  very good CBs, a stud DT (coming off a major injury) and the rest is, again, ‘potential.’ A DC that is essentially starting the season on the hot seat.  This is not 2003, but it could be good. 2003 was the most stacked roster from top to bottom that this team has ever had. This squad finished on a big upswing, yes, but we’ll see.  I think it all comes down to how spiked your hopium is. The running game is where it is for the team. This is not a defense that will win 3 points games. Just not. To win, this team will have to dominate TOP and come up with 2+ more 3rd down stops each game. Again, do-able and should be good for at least a 7 point differential in our favor, ‘hopefully.’  I will say that it is nice seeing talent that actually belongs in the NFL on our roster.
