My take on Cam Newton

Thank you for this. People kill me with the Cam's just a running QB and he's gonna get hurt again running. I always ask them so when did he get hurt running again? 

Cam makes throws that a lot of "elite" QBs can't make. His biggest issue has been not having an OC that could dial up the 4 or 5 easy completions that would bump his percentage over 60% so people could stop focussing on that stat line.

Excellent piece and well-researched and reasoned. I've said before and I'll keep pushing it, first option (and best) is work with Cam as our starter going into next season. He has not only earned it, but it would be foolish for us to do anything but that... 

Keep writing these, man, they're great reads!

Good write up.

I have buried myself in Newton’s game tape. I’ve paid close attention to the first half of last season, and all of 2017. I have already made my evaluation on Newton. I feel he should come back. I’m not concerned under what circumstances at this point.

While I agree with you. There is one huge circumstance that comes to mind for me, at least. If we bring Cam back and put him behind that putrid offensive line we have and have had the recent past several years he will never remain healthy enough to play a full season again.

"Final year of the deal? Whatever. A longer-term contract? Good. The team should have some sense of leverage right now with his recent (overhyped) injury issues. None of which, by the way, are connected." 

If I am understanding you, your position is the Panthers should give Newton an extension? I don't think that would be a prudent move.

The key question then remains : is Newton willing to play 2020 on his current contract?

But the easy completions are the ones he has a hard time hitting....?

Why do RB's hit the proverbial wall at 30 years old?  It's the accumulation of punishment.  Cam is no different.  He's taken more hits than any other QB during his time in the league, and regardless of "where" those hits took place they constitute punishment to a body that needs to be at it's best week in and week out.  That punishment certainly makes him more likely to accumulate further injury.  A body, even that of a finely tuned athlete can only take so much.

All that said, what I saw for the first 8 games last year makes me believe that if Cam can get healthy, stay protected, he can be a starting QB in this league.  Still.  Maybe he loses a step with the Lisfranc.  So what?  He's a QB.  Yes, he might need to become even more of the "standard" NFL QB, but he can do it.  He showed that last year.

For his own sake, I hope Cam's "power back" days are behind him.  I want to see him play for years to come.

      Sugar Defender Reviews (Thriving in Accomplished Aims) Official Website Alert!

      By Smith · Posted

      ast updated today 19th May 2024 Some people are unsure if Sugar Defender  is real, so here's the truth: there's no evidence that it's a scam. The company clearly lists all the ingredients and doesn't make wild promises. Instead, they support their claims with scientific studies. They have research backing up what they say about Sugar Defender's benefits. Even if some people are skeptical, there's no proof that Sugar Defender is fake. It's important to look at the facts and see that the company is being honest and open about their product.         Order Now Sugar Defender and Get 85% Off   The best part about this supplement is that it's really easy to use, and you don't need to do anything extra to keep your blood sugar levels steady. Plus, it's all-natural and made safely to address the main cause of blood sugar problems.   How long does it take for Sugar Defender to work? How fast Sugar Defender works can be different for each person. It depends on things like how fast your body works, any health issues you already have, and how often you use it. But since they give you 60 days to try it out and get your money back if it doesn't work for you, it's likely that most people see some changes within that time if they use it like they're supposed to. For the best results, use it for at least 90 days.   What Is Sugar Defender? Sugar Defender is a special formula that helps your body respond better to insulin. It's made with the purest ingredients. Every ingredient has been tested many times to make sure they're the best, and the company says there are no stimulants, chemicals, or things that could cause allergies in it. They make it in a super clean lab that follows strict rules. The goal of Sugar Defender is to naturally lower your blood sugar levels and keep them steady and healthy. It's a supplement that won't get you hooked and doesn't have any stimulants or GMOs. And guess what? It's easy to use! Each bottle has enough for a whole month. Just take the right amount every day, and you're all set!

      Agree on Necas, he’s gone. Guentzel seems 50-50 to me, Canes would have to pony up. Still not sure Skjei will be back. From exit interviews he seemed less optimistic than Pesce and I definitely don’t think Pesce is back. Jarvis and Noesen have to be back. I think if Kuzy shoots more he could be a great asset. Put him with a passer like Turbo and a net front like Noesen.
