3 keys in developing Cam Newton

Frankly I disagree with the notion that any of our QBs should enter this year as the defacto starter. IMO not one of them is clearly a better NFL QB than the others. Moore has shown us some good play in games prior but has also shown the ability to suck many nuts. Clausen played horribly last year but QBs have shown in the past that their first year cannot always be used as a definite indication of career development so he should at least be given a chance (also poo team play all around). Newton is a rookie who, IMO, was as good as he was in college because he was 10x the athlete most of the people he was playing against were and is still very much an unknown factor.

Let them compete and start whoever is the best.

My own personal caveat to that is that if Newton is not far and away better than the other players he should not be the starter. A moderate gain in QB performance over another QB is not worth throwing a rookie to the wolves. If he's lightyears better by all means start him - if it's close he should sit.

They did not say they were designing the offense to fit him. What they are doing is taking out SOME plays that he is not ready for, and adding SOME plays specifically for him.

This wil lstill be the same offense that Chud was planning on implementing.

What do you think that means? To me, it means that they're tailoring the offense to fit what Cam does, and not the other way around. That's how it should be too.

You can think of him like Vick's return. Vick came in just a couple of plays/game for his first season back. He ran a wildcat or two to get used to game speed, and called it a night. That would seem like a good role for Cammy Camflakes this season for us. Get him in a few plays/game. Get him a taste of real game speed and real game defenses, but don't put any real pressure on him. Then, after a year of that he should be ready to compete for the starting role.

      Adam Schefter: Panthers getting trade calls for Andy Dalton

      By strato · Posted

      To kick this up, The Athletic has a really comprehensive piece out where pretty much all QB questions are addressed. It is worth seeing.  https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/7083539/2026/03/04/starting-quarterback-projections-free-agency-draft/?source=user_shared_article I’m putting something specific here but it should have a thread or something. It is an extensive exercise.  This is a dense write up with a lot of column inches used, about the Jets and Murray and Reich, all this stuff.. then it goes to backup QB and there is Dalton.  I am pasting that part: As for Dalton, Reich is installing the offense he was trying to run in Carolina in 2023 before he got fired, and Dalton was with the Panthers then; he’s an ideal option as a veteran backup to replace Taylor. Reich said this about Dalton in 2023: “The way he's throwing the football, the way he works through progressions, the way he handles the operation. … Since day one (when) he walked in the door, I'm like, 'This guy is starter-worthy.' You guys know I've said that all along. He's, in my opinion, one of the best 32 quarterbacks in the world.” ——— That’s true love lol. I never heard any of this. Pretty crazy I think, considering how the year went.   Anyway the dream is not dead. .

      I’VE FOUND OUR WR3 (Rashid Shaheed)

      By Car123 · Posted

      The Seahawks traded for wide receiver/returner Rashid Shaheed at the trade deadline. He proved to be a key acquisition. Shaheed returned a punt and a kickoff for touchdowns in the regular season and had a 95-yard kickoff return in the postseason. Shaheed, though, is scheduled for free agency. So, the 12 games he played, including the postseason, might be the extent of his time in Seattle. Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that Shaheed and the Seahawks are not close to an extension, and the expectation is that the two-time Pro Bowler will hit free agency. Shaheed has 153 receptions for 2,243 yards and 12 touchdowns in his four-year career to go along with three punt return touchdowns and a kickoff return touchdown. He ranks 13th on PFT’s top-100 free agents. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/report-rashid-shaheed-appears-headed-to-free-agency
