Cam is Focused, Healthy, and Upbeat

Anticipation, anxiety, hope, and expectation. I am beginning to believe a great start is around the corner.

http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap3000001048403/article/cam-focused-on-football-not-injuries-ahead-of-opener

Cam's progression this offseason was marked by small steps back to the field, from throwing off to the side to showing off his new throwing motion with footballs, from returning to padded practice to starting Carolina's preseason tilt. Now fully healthy, Newton feels like a new man and thankful to be with the Panthers for a ninth professional season.

"I feel like a rookie again. I'm having fun, feeling good and the thrill is still there, man," Newton said. "I'm blessed, just knowing that, man, you just got to sometimes put things into perspective. Just two or three weeks, two or three days ago, grown men cried, you know what I'm saying? People getting unexpectedly cut, released, traded or whatever. I'm just lucky to be a part of a fan base and organization for the same nine years. A lot of people can't say the same."

In addition to his lengthy rehab, Newton is chalking up his recovery from his shoulder and foot injuries to a change in diet.

All we need to see is Cam again.  Let's see him unload a 50 yarder to an open Samuel behind the Rams defense and it's (*@#$ing ON.  The addition of a deep ball to what we saw the first 8 games last year is going to put every defense in the league on notice.

To be honest is presser seemed guarded, anxious, and chaotic. He didn't speak like a composed, focused man. Obviously I want Cam to be well and have a great year but that presser was not a great look.

Really have to wonder where his mind is at right now.  NFL likes to prescribe painkillers so hopefully he isn't addicted to those or anything.

Im confused......what was not a great look, and what made it seem like he is not a composed, focused man?

"Of course, vegan strong. That helps a lot," Newton said. "I've been vegan all year. And I don't think I'm going back. Feel good. I recover well and that's what it's pretty much all about."

 

@Jeremy Igo...you tearing up?

      Panthers OLB Pat Jones II makes bold claim about team's defense

      By DaveThePanther2008 · Posted

      It's not impossible to go from worst to first.  We kept Evero because anyone in there right mind knew our defense was destroyed by injuries, not the scheme.  Evero has been given a plethora of talent between free agency and the draft, not to mention getting DB back. I fully expect our defense to be very good.  I have no reason to think Jones would say something like that unless he truly felt like that.

      We would’ve played Florida and lost in the 1st instead of the 3rd round.  Montreal would have been the 8 seed.

      PFF ranks the 2025 starting QBs

      I can't get behind a purely subjective re-draft as a method of defining "top-10 QB" status. That invites bias based on vibes/hypotheticals and can ignore actual on-field performance. You and others have said that Bryce has to be a top-10 QB to justify the pick. That's a high bar, which I'm not against, but we need a clear, consistent way to measure it. When I bring up metrics that Bryce has registered in the top-10 in like BTT%, P2S ratio, catchable deep ball rate, etc... they're waved off as either irrelevant or the expected baseline performance. Meanwhile, volume stats like passing yards or win-loss records, both of which depend heavily on roster talent, health, and coaching, are treated as definitive. That's where the inconsistency kicks in. If no performance metric ever counts in his favor and the answer is always going to be "he should be doing that," then we're not evaluating him... we're just holding him to a curve he can't win against. If this is really about performance standards, then let's define them. But if it's just about confirming prior takes based on height and weight, then let's call it what is it and stop pretending that this is a football analysis discussion.
