Cam Newton should be done as a starting QB in this league

He just doesn't have the ability to throw the football anymore with any consistency.

Yes - Brady sucks

Yes - offensive line sucks

Yes - the wide receivers can't get open consistently.

You still expect your starting QB to put up better stats than 5/21, 92 yards, 0 TD, 2 INT passing.

Perhaps he can still be serviceable in goal line or short yardage packages but they need to just let PJ start and draft a QB next year.  Hopefully, we'll have a new coach by then too.

The odds of a career resurgence were not great but it's all we had. Whenever we go from here my hope is that we seek a head coach with both real nfl experience and a new philosophy altogether. We've been doing the defensive identity thing for many years enough is enough. Get someone in here who wants to build up the offense into a threat with a real offensive line instead of wasting whole drafts on the other side of the ball and acting shocked when the wheels fall apart on offense.

That 64 yard pass play was pretty good and I’m  Pretty sure he checked out of whatever Brady called to that play based on the defense 

he also had two passes to start the game In DJs hands dropped

The truth is, he has issues, but so does every other player and coach on that field 

the shallow crossing routes called in certain situations with routes too close   to the oline ….simply unbelievable particularly when as a OC you can see the defense crowding the line and sitting on those routes 

ask yourself, there are three capable running backs plus Newton against a blitzing Miami defense that isn’t great against the run, why were they throwing so much

We used him correctly against Arizona - red zone QB who's a threat to score with his arms or his legs, especially when you're running Play Action.

As evidenced by his 5.8 QB rating yesterday, he's toast as a starting QB in the NFL.

Honestly I just can’t comprehend how shitty of an OC brady is. He was genuinely putting any qb we put under center in serious danger. We have no o line and his play designs are atrocious and so slow and he doesn’t even bother to keep the rb to block or add an inline blocker. He owes this team an apology after that poo show we just watched.

I'm surprised we haven't seen PJ more in the past two weeks honestly. Cam can still obviously play a part in the offense, especially in the red zone. But I just can't see how he's a full time starting option after less than 3 weeks on the roster. If they bring him back next season and he has a full offseason in whatever offensive coordinator's system they have, I'm sure he'd look better. I feel like they ran the same 3-4 formations and ran the same plays over and over because he only knows like 20% of the playbook at this point.

Just yet another reminder that the WFT had both its DEs out. Both those DEs are 1 - elite the other very good.

There's a reason we had time to throw last time. This OL makes any our QBs look like poo and then Brady on top makes it look like something we'd need another vocabulary word invented for.

Honestly…it’s just insane to me that the coaching staff didn’t see something in practice to say they needed to bring him along slower. As fans we of course want to see him start. But FFS this is the NFL…they didn’t see ANY downside of playing a guy 100% of the snaps who can only deliver 50% of the playbook??

    • Same, bro.  Yeah, it just feels it has run its course and I don’t know that we’ll ever get more value.  Plus, with the new ownership, this draft has been super encouraging, so dare I believe maybe this FO can get something to really put us over the top in return for Melo.  I’ll still be a fan of his game and try to keep up with him if we move on, but yeah, I feel it’s time to turn the page. (and side note: I felt so happy after their rookie years because I told everybody I wanted Melo and didn’t trust Ant.  And Melo clearly looked like the better player early…  I thought Ant would bust because all that stuff he said about not loving the game and just his resume to that point…  but damn, if we could go back in time.🤣🤣🤣. I love Ant’s game and at times, when he gets in the zone, he is THE BEST player in the league in my opinion.)
    • Appreciate that, bro!  And I could definitely see that with Cam.  Even though he’s a little younger than me, he is also someone I admire and feel a kinship with for a lot of various reasons. Funny enough, a few years after that encounter with Steve, I went to Charlotte with one of my friends whose brothers owned a moving company at the time.  He dropped me off uptown and went to work the day with them where I would wait until he got done and then we were gonna go to the Bobcats game that night.  So I walk all through that area for hours.  After awhile, I walk back towards the arena and sit in a bench on the backside of the arena, where the practice court and player’s entrance was.  As I’m sitting there, I look up and almost think I’m seeing things - I squint and blink my eyes a couple times just to be sure, and yes…  it’s one of my childhood heroes, Muggsy Bogues walking across the crosswalk and into the arena.  I think he was coaching the Sting then, iirc.  Part of me wanted to just say, “Hey!  Muggsy!  Thank you for the inspiration and memories!  You were one of my favorite players as a kid!”  But, I just watched him walk by and into the arena and thought, “that was cool!”  I also so Miguel Cotto a couple years back while in Orlando and told my kids who it was but didn’t say anything to him.  I think somewhere in my subconscious, that encounter with Steve really made me feel like the gamble on finding out if they’re receptive to interaction just isn’t worth finding out.  At the end of the day, no matter if they’re receptive inspired us or were a hero, unless they initiate it, I likely never will…  because again, they’re humans just like us.  Not anymore unique or special, they just have a highly visible and very public job that we get to watch and in some ways participate.  So, I just appreciate it for what it is.
    • I'm pleasantly surprised they gave it to Bryce Young over Josh Allen. Finally we're getting some respect. Now I'm just hoping the team follows this up accordingly and doesn't lay another egg.
