Okay, now this is absolute fire

There's no pass rush this time of year obviously, but Cam is sticking to the new throwing motion for now.  If he keeps it up, I guarantee his accuracy will improve greatly.  Tighter, compact delivery and stepping into the throws is going to make a huge difference.  The test will be if he reverts back to his old habits when people are flying all around him in live action.

Footwork.... 

Yup, the back foot-slingshot/catapult throw is seemingly gone.  Again, we will see what happens when he's got guys with their ears pinned back coming at him.  I'm pleased with his willingness to adapt a new style this late in his career.  I went back and looked at Cam's highlight film from last year and the throwing motion is noticeably different from this video...even before the shoulder problem. 

Check out how he stands almost perpendicular to the target now versus nearly parallel before.  Before he would drop his throwing shoulder, arch back release while pushing off the back foot simultaneously to generate power for the throw.   Kinda like quickly pulling back and releasing a sling shot.   The catapult motion came after the shoulder injury and he was reaching back further to try to compensate for the loss of power, without success (due to the pain) and ultimately just put more air under the ball which lead to the increased picks.

Now he does the "small c" motion, which is the desired throwing motion for QBs.  Not only that, but he's following though with the throw (on the front foot) which helps with accuracy AND provides a smaller target for pass rushers on those notorious late hits Cam receives.

Looks like Cam Newton’s annual pass catching week is happening in California this year instead of Baltimore - spotted DJ Moore, Elijah Holyfield, Christian McCaffrey and Jarius Wright catching some passes from the QB, who seemed as if he was throwing freely.

    • I'll be honest.  I'm not sure I want to see any those guys returning right now given what others are presently doing.... minus Coker.  Hubbard returning likely messes the run game up (I mean, it's going to come down regardless but he still), Tremble and Evans actually are doing well, Corbett seems to make us worse up front, and the D has made some strides.  I'd like to just keep that whole lot on the shelf this week.  
    • I don't think people know that Icky is still only 25 years old. Panthers signed UDFAs older this year and drafted DJ Johnson. Heres a fact, a deep fact.... Its easier(much) to find a good-great QB than good-great LT. Another fact there's only 12-15 true LTs and the others are larping as LT.  SO....(I'm not a fan btw)......you nearly must resign him at all cost even with him being around the 12th best at times. Its the hardest spot to fill and he's still awful young with 4 years as a pro. Carolina already got 4 years of "cheap" service as well, that's invested time and effort.  The fan-side of me hopes he signs some top 5 at best top 3 big money deal. Just the cap keeps growing and LTs, young LT with experience are rrrrrrare and unique. Tag him if needed and tag him again, then trade him. I think he enjoys being/living in NC.  I hope he's stays on a team friendly deal, but those are soooo rare these days.  Only two options- pay him whatever, even if it's top $$$$$(uggggghhhh..) or tag him for 2027 and keep trying to pay. Worst outcome is trading him for couple 1s, 3s, and 5th maybe a player too. 
    • I always loved DJ Moore.  I don't see him wanting to comeback here.  He seems to be tired of inconsistent QB play and you finally see that bubbling over in Chicago.  or maybe he just doesn't like the people.  He actually seemed fine with Fields.....and lobbied for them not to draft Caleb.  So maybe it's just a Caleb issue (and I think Caleb might have tons of baggage/issues that rub folks wrong)
