Predict out 2010 record with Newton as QB


jtm

Recommended Posts

....then predict it with Tom Brady as QB. Interested to see the responses.

I say we have the same record with Newton as QB, maybe one more win because he could have scrambled for a couple of those red zone drives we couldn't score. 3-13

With Brady 5-11.

I am sure many will say that Newton needs time to develop so you can't throw him in the first year. I agree 100% but Clausen needed a year or two to develop and so does every rookie. So why is everyone ready to throw him to the wolves after one year? Will Cam at the helm in 2011 make us any better? I agree he will not start after the Clausen experiment, but Cam is a couple year project at best. So what do we do until then?

This is why I think we need to draft Dareus, Green, or PP and get a vet QB and let Clausen rest a year. If Clausen was coming out this year in the draft he would probably be rated as the #1 QB hands down. My whole point is you can't rule any player out after one year and throwing a ton of money at a project with huge upside isn't the direction we need to go. If we grab a vet and stink again this year, we will have a short at a high pick next year when it looks like a better qb class is coming out.

This argument doesn't really hold any water.

Tom Brady would have a similar record, basically because he doesn't know any of the personnel, the offense, and he's outside of the "well-oiled machine" that is New England.

Great QBs become great with consistency. They become comfortable in a certain system, and then things start to work from there on.

Newton 3-13...i can see that.

Brady 7-9...smitty would have had a great year...people would not have been able to stack the box allowing the running game to do well. But injuries to the o-line would have limited the success of the running game and lack of a dt or much pass rush outside of johnson would have made every game a shoot out.

So why is everyone ready to mortgage the farm on Newton when he wouldn't have done any better than Clausen last year? Point is - Clausen wasn't given a fair shake as we all know. Newton seems a lot riskier than Clausen because we will have to pay him a lot more money and he is a lot farther behind as far as the pro language.

Why is it not fair? 90% of Panther fans are ready to throw Clausen to the wolves and he did not know any of the personnel, the offense, he is outside his well-oiled machine, and lastly he transitioned to the NFL.

The way we should be looking at it is ... with Cam or without Cam records

With Cam: 3-13

Without Cam 3-13

I dont see Cam making any difference in our record. what he makes up in our passing game he will lose due to ball secruity (have you seen the way he carries it, NFL defenders will eat that up)

    • I thought this presented an interesting point. It is fair to wonder now, about switching the two QBs as so many tried to do that first year where Bryce was trash and CJ looked great.  It is almost the reverse scenario now and I wonder what CJ would look like here with better weapons better coaching and better protection. Overall, compared year one.  If each player had been in the other place for the three years. I would love to see CJ with this team now.  Just to see. 
    • I really have no clue what to expect sunday.  To quote one of my favorite bands of all time, Operation Ivy "All I know is that I dont know".  We could win, hell we could win convincingly, we also could lose in blowout fashion.  We could be in a back and forth game with whoever has the ball last winning.  I legit HAVE NO CLUE.  This isnt the dominant bills teams of the past, Allen is still elite and can win any game by himself.  That said, heres my stab at looking at things. Our defense is made to stop this kind of team.  Strong against the run, a great corner but meh talent around the field.  We've stopped prolific run offenses this season.   Javonte Williams - Season low yards and ypa against us. De'Von Achane - Season low yards and ypa against us Breece hall - 3rd worst yards in a game Fact of the matter is, we arent what we were last year, we are a good run defense and that lines up well against the bills, Stop the run.  For once the lack of moving Jaycee might be a good thing, he will essentially lock down a side and without multiple real weapons thats fine.  Buffalo does not have an elite guy, theyve got a gaggle of average dudes.  Allen will stay away from Jaycee, it will be on Mike Jack and Chau Smith Wade do to their part and they will be matched with guys they can play at the level of. On offense, we do what the bills are bad at.  We run the ball well, and they suck at stopping the run.  Rico and Chuba will need 30 carries.  Andy Dalton will need to be opportunistic.  My big fear is what we learned last year, Dalton can get overconfident and make bonehead throws.  Its this simple.  Run the ball, stop the run.  Dont turn the ball over.  If we do these 3 things, we will be in a position to win in the 4th quarter.
