Cam Newton throws deep

Why so little discussion about this after months of certain posters all but declaring his career over?

Eh, I am still cautiously optimistic.

He was making these throws in camp last year too. The question has always been can the shoulder hold up through the course of a NFL season. Also, a little curious to see how much throwing he does today. Would not shock me to see him pull back a bit. A bit of soreness is likely part of the healing process.

From what I read from Voth and other reporters he was not even throwing 20 yds in camp last year?

He made multiple 40+ yard completions in camp last year?

I have to say regardless of how things go with his shoulder as the season progresses, we really need a resurgence in the run game. Someone needs to step up at RB2. Myself I will be rooting for Jordan Scarlett big time.

Those long bombs to Moore and Samuel where all the talk about Donte's makeup speed never happened?

I was reading and watching video last year in camp, he could barely get the ball to them. I mean what Donte does has nothing to do with how Cam throws the ball. Making up for someone running by him is on him. He was not making these throws at all last year!

    • I think starting this week you gotta work in Tremayne out there.   You don't got to bench XL but Tremayne just seems to be clearly a better WR at this stage (despite XL having the physical tools).   I think waiting on Coker is malpractice.    
    • I don't like much about this team BUT WE ARE GONNA WIN THIS THING BABY LETS GOOOOOOO
    • I agree completely.  I’m not absolving XL of his errors and shortcomings, but week 2 was definitely less an issue with him as it was QB and coaching/scheme.     It’s becoming abundantly clear, not just with XL, but with everyone on the offense, our coaches are not crafting a game plan to play to their players’ strengths, but rather they’re creating a game plan and then trying to fit guys into it where each position is treating each player as interchangeable and they’re not.  The breakdown I watched also discussed how no one expected XL to be destroying people with his route running coming out - that would have to be refined.  So, the poo we’re seeing, we can’t really blame him for.  He has gotten open enough often, but the passes are often off-target.  And he would likely excel more as a guy who can threaten with the deep ball to take the top off the defense, but we don’t have a QB that can throw that pass.
