Preseason three (at that time, the 'dress rehearsal' game) he looked horrible. Played great when it mattered though.

These days,the college game just doesn't teach pro level skills like it once did. Makes it much harder to identify QB talent.

The modern NFL offense more closely resembles a 2010 college offense than it does a 2010 NFL offense. The college game has been driving the innovation in the sport for the past couple decades.

I still wonder what it would have been like in 2011 if Cam actually got to have mini camp and the full offseason instead of that bs lockout.

My "what if" with Newton will always be what if his early development would have been trusted to someone like Norv Turner rather than Mike Shula.

It was the TD run when he bowled over half the secondary that got me onboard the Cam wagon.

Rattler throws a short TD pass.  26 San Fran, 21 Saints

Absolutely the best game of Spencer Rattler's career thus far for New Orleans

Anyone watching Giants-Cowboys?  Miles Sanders looks like a completely different back. Burns also looks really good too. 

Such an indictment on this organization, no one looks worth a poo here.

That and a commitment to building an o-line.

Changes to the college game are why it's become so hard to develop quarterbacks and find half decent offensive linemen.

QBs get it the worst because I think that’s the position where coaching makes the most difference, but yep it’s just rot from the inside that impacts everyone here. the only real exception I can think of is Luvu and he still got out first chance he could.

We had a pretty decent one in 15. Couldn't maintain it though. Fell apart way too fast.

He is awful. I don’t know what he’s seeing out there.

Absolutely. Shula basically relied on Cam's extremely unique physical tools to carry his offense. The entire passing game revolved around Cam making the lowest percentage of NFL throws (downfield passes to covered receivers) on most attempts. Cam running Norv's offense with the read option and RPOs added to it would've been ideal.

5 carries for 15 yards? He's got a goal line touchdown. But Javonte Williams is doing all the work.
