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.

      Panthers Sign QB Will Grier

      By SmokinwithWilly · Posted

      I'm really not stressing about upgrading from Bryce. I'm frustrated with our inability (or refusal) to recognize overall bad QB performance and failure to seriously address the issue. QB is the most impactful position on the field, and we're not only settling for what we've been given to this point, but we've rewarded it with a fully guaranteed 5th year extension for a player that's never played 2 NFL franchise QB quality games back to back in 3 seasons. I can't understand how that's ok from a coach's or GM's viewpoint. Successful franchises don't do things like this. It just doesn't make sense.  We do not have a top half of the league QB right now. Since we don't have that player, we should be looking for him. Pickett isn't it. Grier isn't it. Bryce hasn't proven he is yet. Until you have that sure fire franchise QB, you keep looking. You're not consistently making the playoffs, a deep run, or a SB appearance without one.  What's the worst that could happen? We end up with 2 potential number 1 QBs? How horrible.

      Easy to understand Pickett, if this is anywhere close to on point. Canales wants to get as close to Bryce as he can- get the pace and timing in the throws as close a he can to Bryce. So the other players don’t have to adjust so much, to a new guy.       If Cam was the 1, he would look for a rocket arm.  But Bryce is the 1. Look for limited in the same way.  Low velocity, plenty of air under it, feels just like home when Picket comes in. And you have the guys on the second team not having such a radical adjustment (if they have to play) like with Dalton to Bryce.    Enter Grier. I guess we will collect those types.

      Best part is if we draft him, we can also use him as our fourth and one QB sneaker
